Nathan Brown is Global Chief Strategy Officer for UM in New York. We worked in the same building on William St in Sydney about 15 years ago.
Nathan was a breath of fresh air. He built teams that expected to do creative things with their clients’ media buys. He was a good coach and easy to collaborate with.
He’s still all of these things. But many years have passed since we worked together so I wanted to see how a coach-oriented, creative thinker was faring in the high-stakes game of media planning in New York.
We discuss a lot of C-words:
- Creativity in media planning,
- Media buying as a commodity,
- Being a CEO of PHD Media,
- Being a CSO,
- Culture,
- Collaborating with advertising agencies,
- Clients, and
- Whether Nathan is a company man at heart :)
