EP 62: Joe Maglio
from We Need To Be Doing That Hosted by HEARTLENT Group
Joe Maglio is CEO of creative and media agency McKinney, and we were fortunate to be his first podcast appearance! We discussed: - How we know Joe through youth soccer, shoutout Ted Lasso - Joe grew up in NJ, he works out of the NYC office, and he lives in CT… so we had to ask him, which state makes the best pizza? - What the “Italian Goodbye” means - Joe’s non-traditional career path leading up to Ogilvy, Publicis, Havas, and for the last 5-years as CEO of McKinney - McKinney’s mantra of Smarts and Hearts, what it means, and how we see things similarly with HEARTLENT Group’s Heart + Talent - How advertising talent at its core are misfits, had non-traditional paths like Joe, didn’t go to ad schools, and how Joe looks at talent - The cycle in advertising, and how often times getting that more senior role comes with managerial expectations that not everyone is great at and wants, and often times these creatives leave to do their own thing/freelance to get back to the start of doing the work - How agencies can be set up to make more nimble decisions - What Joe would tell someone starting out in our industry - Taking advantage of opportunities, and time with senior leadership when offered - How Joe has been managing through COVID and what changes will remain at McKinney https://www.linkedin.com/in/joemaglio/ https://mckinney.com/
