Advertising Will Save Us from Soulless Design, with former Nike Chief Marketing Officer Greg Hoffman

Can advertising’s immense power to change behaviour be used for good? In this brand new podcast, produced by Intelligence Squared, Myra Nussbaum, President and Chief Creative Officer at Havas Chicago and Dan Lucey, Chief Creative Officer at Havas New York, talk to the people who are harnessing the power of advertising to help people and the planet. This week, Dan and Myra were joined by Greg Hoffman, the former Chief Marketing Officer of Nike. Widely regarded as a global brand leader, for over two decades, he was a major strategic and creative influence for Nike at every major global sporting event, for the launches of Nike’s signature products, and for the building of the brands of its athletes. In relation to his work on campaigns with everyone from LeBron James to Serena Williams and Colin Kaepernick, Greg discussed how advertising can be used to create purposeful brands that build lasting relationships with consumers. He also talked about how to fuel creativity and curiosity in the workplace and the importance of building diverse teams. Finally, Dan and Myra asked Greg about his latest book, Emotion by Design, which explains the methods he developed over a career at Nike, and which lay behind some of the most culturally significant and impactful campaigns of the last few decades."
