In late 2022, we conducted research to gain insight into how different marketing organizations are approaching modern team building coming out of the pandemic and heading into the future of work. We spoke with leaders from marketing teams, in-house agencies, and agencies to dig deeper into certain topics. We’re excited to share a few video clips that capture valuable perspectives on how to get work done more effectively and efficiently in the ever-evolving world of work.

You’ll hear from three leaders who have inspired us throughout this period of tremendous change:

Greg Campana

Account & Strategy Director, Broadhead|HMH

Tara Heptinstall

Head of Marketing, Theta

Chris Phillips

VP at Maverick Studios, Inspire Brands’ In-house Agency

This series includes 3 episodes:

Because the pandemic played such a huge role in expediting change in the work world, we started with each leader’s candid views on what the pandemic meant to their teams. Through a blend of ‘keeping it real’ and ‘finding the silver lining’ these three leaders persevered and came out stronger.
