Netflix x Otis: Helping to Break Through Barriers

We brought in three industry heavyweights Kenny Gravillis, Dawn Baillie, and Noël Claro to discuss a collaboration between Netflix and Otis College of Art and Design. ACCESS was launched to help historically underrepresented students unlock their "peak potential and shape the future of entertainment marketing." We also explore Noël, Kenny and Dawn's respective careers and views on the industry, underlining the value of education and practical experience. We also candidly address some of the challenges many have faced, how we've muddled our way through and how folks can come together to overcome obstacles. And of course we geek out on influential posters and campaigns, highlighting the ones for 'Barry', the 1979 'Alien' movie, and 'All About Eve' from 1950. Ultimately, Dawn, Kenny and Noël provide advice to aspiring marketers, focusing on the importance of meaningful relationships, persistent research, and inspiration.   01:28 Introducing the Guests: Dawn Baillie, Noël Claro and Kenny Gravillis;  03:59 The Journey of Noël Claro in the Entertainment Industry;  15:42 Kenny Gravillis from Def Jam Records to award-winning entertainment advertising campaigns;  30:24 The Role of Mentorship and Networking in Career Growth;  42:43 Reflecting on the Unforeseen Challenges of the Past Years;  43:32 Introducing ACCESS, the Netflix x Otis Entertainment Marketing Certificate Program; 45:06 Addressing Diversity and Inclusion in the Advertising and Design Industry; 46:35 The Importance of Education and Preparation in the Creative Industry; 47:17 The Journey of Developing and Implementing the Certificate Program; 55:28 The Future Vision for ACCESS;  01:02:22 Advice for Aspiring Professionals in the Industry   Be sure to check out our wonderful sponsor: Defacto Sound - www.defactosound.com/   Please leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.
