Corey Kindberg wouldn’t want to do anything else than be in advertising. Other than becoming a rich, stay-at-home husband (which doesn't sound half bad, to be fair).
TBWA\Chiat\Day’s Associate Strategy Director, who’s based in Los Angeles, digs into whether advertising is as fun as it used to be, why it doesn’t help to get further away from the work the more senior you get, and why a lack of entry level roles “hits the creative work hard”. When there’s a high bar to entry, the industry doesn’t get “cool, weird fucking people” in the room.
He also talks about whether the US is that far ahead of Australia on DE&I, his recent move from New York to LA, and the surprising upsides to being fired from New York Magazine’s The Cut.
Right now, we're recording and producing Advent from home, on the lands of the Dharawal and Gadigal people. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging.
Editing and mixing for Advent is done by Andy Stewart, with production support from Declan Clow Wood. Editorial guidance and research comes from Brittney Rigby. Alex Watts hosts Advent, and wrote this in third person.
