🎙️ This Episode: Dear Deidre 2026, Part 1

What happens when you ask the advertising industry to anonymously confess their biggest career problems… and then put three senior agency leaders on the spot to answer them? 😬

To celebrate our brand new mentorship platform, we’re back in London with a brutally honest live panel tackling the real issues people in agencies are facing right now.

Joining the hot seat:

👩‍💼 Raakhee Thompson — Executive Client Director, The Bloc
🎨 Jon Chapman — Executive Creative Director, BBH
🧠 Kieran Delaney — Executive Creative Director, Cherry Thinking

Before the recording we asked the industry a simple question on social: what’s the hardest thing about working in advertising today? The responses were… revealing. Those questions became the backbone of this episode.

The result is a candid, unfiltered conversation about the stuff people usually whisper about in corridors but rarely say out loud.

💡 In this episode:

🔥 Burnout in an always on industry
 🎭 Tokenism and being the only one in the room
 🧠 What to do when someone steals your idea
 ✨ The uncomfortable truth about what actually makes a creative genius

Expect honest stories, practical advice and a few moments where the panel probably wonders why they agreed to do this.

⚠️ Warning: this episode contains strong language and tackles a few uncomfortable topics. Because sometimes the truth about agency life isn’t polite… and definitely isn’t PG 😬

Not all awards are created equal.

🎙️ This Episode: The World’s Most Awarded Producer
We take you to New York to sit down with the world’s most awarded producer in health and wellness advertising, Chinkara Singh, Chief Production Officer at Havas Health. As the production mastermind behind Area 23, Chinkara has helped deliver hundreds of the industry’s most celebrated campaigns and has shaped some of the most awarded creative work in healthcare communications.
Ever wondered how the best producers make the impossible happen? You are about to find out how one of the best does it.

From humble beginnings to global leadership, Chinkara shares a raw and honest account of her journey. She speaks openly about self-belief, resilience and why waiting to be chosen is never a strategy. It is an honest conversation about owning what makes you different, finding your voice, protecting your creative energy and learning that being bold, direct and persistent is not a flaw. It is often the very thing that drives exponential growth.

She also reveals the untold stories behind some of the industry’s most awarded work, including the pressure, the last-minute saves and the unbelievable moments you only hear about if you were in the room.

If you are ready to stop waiting and start taking control of your career, this episode will give you the motivation and the tools to do exactly that.

We head to New York to sit down with Susan Credle, whose 40-year career in advertising is exceptionally rare. From starting as a receptionist at BBDO to becoming Chief Creative Officer at Leo Burnett Chicago, then FCB, and eventually executive leadership at IPG, she helped turn FCB into the USA’s most creative and award-winning agency.

• 🚀 Career guidance – Tips from a 40-year career in advertising that few have matched

• 🌟 Masterclass in empathy – Leading with understanding and how to build connection

🎙️ Straya calling 🇦🇺 The Creative Floor Awards continues its Australian tour. And to celebrate the launch of our new Mentorship platform, we are talking about leadership. What it is. What it isn't. And how you actually get there. Because leadership is lonely. It's messy. And most people never talk about it honestly. This episode is not about titles, LinkedIn buzzwords or performative confidence. It is about what leadership really feels like when the meeting ends, the door closes, and you are the one left holding the pressure. We sit down with Jeremy Perrott, former Global Chief Creative Officer of McCann Health, and June Laffey, former CCO of McCann Health New York and now a Creative Leadership Coach. We get into the reality of leadership, not the LinkedIn version:
• Protecting your agency’s values when everyone else wants the easy win
• Standing up for creativity when compromise feels easier
• Backing the troublemakers instead of silencing them
• Absorbing pressure without cracking
The question is simple. How do you lead without selling out your people or yourself? The Ultimate Guide to Leadership tackles doubt, pressure and the messy human side of leading. Real honesty. Real tools. And the blueprint for creating brave, life-changing work, and a legacy for yourself. 

⚠️ Language is colourful.
 🍺 Could be Aussie punctuation.
 🤷 Who knows.

🎙️ G’day 🇦🇺 The Creative Floor Awards heads to Australia

Yes, we’ve gone to the land of Crocodile Dundee, Neighbours, and a shrimp on the barbie. We sat down with Hugh Fitzhardinge (Ward 7), Ryan Wallman (Wellmark), and Tobe Pickford (The Health Army) to shine a spotlight on the Australian healthcare advertising market.

🥊 It might be smaller than some, but historically it’s punched well above its weight.
 This is the country that gave us Dumb Ways to Die, Check Your Date Mate, Meet Graham, and countless campaigns that quietly (and sometimes loudly) changed health comms forever.

🔍 We get behind the famous projects, the lesser-known ones, and the very Australian way of making healthcare work actually land. Hear what’s happening in the market right now, where it’s heading, and what the rest of us could probably steal.

📖 Along the way, the lads share some legendary Australian advertising stories you almost definitely haven’t heard before… worth the listen for those alone.

⚠️ Fair warning: there is a lot of swearing in this episode.
🍺 That might be the beers.
🤷 Or maybe it just doesn’t count as swearing in Australia. Unclear.

🍻 Grab a drink, stick your headphones in, and pretend you’re sat with us down the pub.

🎙️ This episode: From Adland to Netflix

❄️ This week, we head to Chicago (because London clearly isn’t cold enough) to sit down with TJ Cimfel, Chief Creative Officer at Avalere Health. Alongside the day job, TJ has made four feature films. The latest, Don’t Move, launched on Netflix in 2024 and went number one in 68 countries for two weeks. No big deal. So naturally, I asked him to break down exactly how you do that.

🛠️ This episode is a step-by-step guide to getting a feature film made:
 • Getting an agent
 • Selling a script
 • Working with platforms like Netflix, Apple, and Disney
 • What actually matters
 • What’s mostly nonsense
 • How much success comes from smart strategy versus sheer persistence

🚫 No highlight reel. No myth-making. Just the real process.

💡 If you’ve got a film idea sitting quietly in the back of your head and no clue where to start, this episode is for you. Even if you don’t, you’ll want one after this.

📓 Get your notebook out. This one’s unmissable.

🎙️ This episode
This week, we’re heading to Dubai (because apparently everyone else is) to unpack one of the most talked-about healthcare campaigns of the past year.

We sit down with Alok Gadkar, Co-Founder, CEO and Chief Creative Officer of Tuesday, alongside Shamrock Nevis, Senior Creative Director, to break down their bold Harley-Davidson collaboration tackling testicular and prostate cancer awareness in the UAE.
Yes. Really. 🏍️🎶

They brought together a group of real Harley riders to form the Tough Nuts Choir, creating a film that somehow balances comedy with cultural sensitivity in one of the region’s most conservative healthcare categories.

This isn’t your usual case-study fluff. We go full nuts-and-bolts (pun fully intended) on how to write comedy into serious healthcare work. From creative strategy and client buy-in to execution in a conservative market, Alok and Shamrock walk through exactly how they made it work, and how your team can steal the process.

💡 Described as a free masterclass for agencies, this episode offers rare, practical insight into healthcare creativity you genuinely won’t hear anywhere else.

🎙️ This episode
Today we’re talking to Paul Burke. Writer. Producer. Director. Radio advertising legend. The kind of legend where people say, “Oh… Paul Burke?” and nod seriously. Paul has won more awards for radio ads than anyone else in the world. Ever. He’s also directed hundreds of actors, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Rowan Atkinson, Joanna Lumley, and David Tennant. Just a normal Tuesday. Paul’s been on the podcast before sharing some excellent agency war stories. This time, we dig into his journey from dispatch rider to writer at Abbott Mead Vickers. If you’re trying to break into a creative department, pay attention. These lessons are still painfully relevant. If you’re new to the industry or working outside the UK, you’ll love this one. Paul also shares stories and lessons from some of advertising’s greats, including David Abbott, Peter Mead, Richard Foster, John Horton, and Chris O’Shea.

⚠️ Light swearing. Parental advisory. You have been warned.

Episode 90: Emergency Episode: Navigating the Industry’s 4,000 Layoffs03 Dec 202500:09:21

This week our industry was shaken by nearly 4,000 layoffs, and in response we have released a special emergency episode of The Creative Floor Awards Podcast.

From the emotional shock of losing a job to the anxiety, fear, anger and confusion that follow, this episode breaks the silence around what layoffs really feel like. It offers practical coping techniques, ways to regain structure, advice on protecting your energy and a reminder that even though it may not feel like it today, this moment can eventually become a turning point.

If you have been affected, or you are supporting someone who has, this episode is for you.

Last year we launched our  inaugural Hall of Legends Award… because why just win awards when you can be immortal? 🏆👑 So this week, we’re diving headfirst into legacy. What is it? Do you need one?

Episode 81: Dear Deidre, 202515 Mar 202501:09:14

Ever had a work dilemma so awkward you’d rather fake a panic attack than ask your boss? Well, we’ve got you covered. This week, our expert agony aunts tackle your toughest questions, including:

💰 How do you ask for more money without triggering your agency going bankrupt?
 🔄 How do you switch departments without looking like you're running from a crime scene?
 🏢 What to do when your agency drags you back to the office… but your wallet is still working remotely.

🔥 Your agency just set fire to its ED&I initiatives, do you: A) Call it out, B) Update your LinkedIn to “Open to Work,” or C) Grab marshmallows and watch the chaos unfold?
 🥪 And, perhaps most importantly… who keeps stealing your food from the agency kitchen?

Our wise (and slightly judgmental) panel:
 ⚡ Alex Okada, Havas Lynx
 ⚡ Tash Beecher, Syneos Health
 ⚡ John McPartland, Ogilvy Health

Episode 80: Rise of the Robots 2025 (by the Humans)11 Mar 202501:04:34

AI had its turn. Now, it’s time for the humans to fight back 🤖 vs. 🧠
Last episode, we handed over the podcast to AI and let’s just say, it was… an experience. This week, we’re taking control to discuss the real impact of AI on advertising, from ethics to automation, threats to opportunities and whether we should all start retraining as baristas.

Joining us for this definitely not AI-generated discussion:
🧠 Joe Graiff & Patrick Mullady: FCB Health New York
 💡 Faisal Ahmed: Digitally Sick

We’re diving into:
 ⚖️ Ethics, Legislation & Conspiracy theories - Who’s keeping AI in check?
 💼 The Future of Jobs - Will AI take your job or just make it unbearable?
 🕵️ AI Agents & Creativity - Can AI be truly creative, or is it just a glorified autocomplete?
🚀 Opportunities & Innovation  - Where humans still have the edge (for now).
Will AI be the greatest creative revolution or the industry’s biggest existential crisis?
Listen now and decide who’s really in charge.

Episode 79: Rise of the Robots 2025 (by the Robots)08 Mar 202500:15:54

🚨 BREAKING: AI Has Taken Over The Creative Floor Awards Podcast! 🤖🎙️
This week, we decided to talk about AI. But then AI decided to talk about us. And now we’re in some kind of weird, tech-driven, podcast-ception.
We sat down with some very clever tech bros:
🧠 Joe Graiff & Patrick Mullady: FCB Health New York
💡 Faisal Ahmed: Digitally Sick

But then Faisal, in a truly mad scientist moment, fed our recording into a couple of AI platforms… and BOOM! AI created its own version of our podcast. AI reviewing us, talking about AI? We’ve officially lost control.
So, this episode has been 100% written, voiced, edited and reviewed by AI. No humans were harmed (or paid) in the making of this episode.
Will it be a masterpiece? A disaster? A passive-aggressive job application from ChatGPT? 🤷‍♂️ Listen and decide for yourself.

And don’t worry, the human version drops next, featuring actual flesh-and-blood experts (for now).
