00:00:04,080 –> 00:00:06,539
Sean Aylmer: Welcome to the Fear and Greed daily interview. I’m Sean

2
00:00:06,540 –> 00:00:10,320
Sean Aylmer: Aylmer. A constant challenge for companies is finding the right

3
00:00:10,320 –> 00:00:13,679
Sean Aylmer: way to connect with consumers and other businesses to make

4
00:00:13,679 –> 00:00:17,309
Sean Aylmer: sure their brand stays relevant and front of mind. And

5
00:00:17,309 –> 00:00:20,220
Sean Aylmer: often that means being a little bit creative. I wanted

6
00:00:20,220 –> 00:00:22,980
Sean Aylmer: to find out what the advertising industry is like post

7
00:00:23,070 –> 00:00:25,950
Sean Aylmer: COVID, whether brands are still willing to push the boundaries,

8
00:00:26,189 –> 00:00:29,130
Sean Aylmer: the role of trust in advertising, and whether the world

9
00:00:29,130 –> 00:00:32,610
Sean Aylmer: now really does revolve around TikTok. Justin Graham is group

10
00:00:32,639 –> 00:00:36,360
Sean Aylmer: CEO of M& C Saatchi Australia and New Zealand and

11
00:00:36,360 –> 00:00:40,650
Sean Aylmer: Global Head of Advertising. Throughout his career, he’s advised clients

12
00:00:40,650 –> 00:00:44,909
Sean Aylmer: including Commonwealth Bank, Woolies, Tabcorp, Optus, Qantas, and more. And

13
00:00:44,909 –> 00:00:47,699
Sean Aylmer: that’s just the local companies. He’s joining us this morning

14
00:00:47,700 –> 00:00:52,109
Sean Aylmer: from Cannes, the most famous advertising festival in the world.

15
00:00:52,109 –> 00:00:53,400
Sean Aylmer: Justin, welcome to Fear and Greed.

16
00:00:53,400 –> 00:00:55,500
Justin Graham: Great to be here. Thank you.

17
00:00:55,830 –> 00:00:57,750
Sean Aylmer: I’ve got to ask you about Cannes first. I mean,

18
00:00:57,750 –> 00:01:01,170
Sean Aylmer: we’ll get into the stuff about brands and things. It’s

19
00:01:01,170 –> 00:01:04,589
Sean Aylmer: such a glamorous sounding place for people like me who

20
00:01:04,590 –> 00:01:06,690
Sean Aylmer: have never been there. What happens when all the ad

21
00:01:06,690 –> 00:01:09,120
Sean Aylmer: execs get together at Cannes? What’s it about?

22
00:01:09,720 –> 00:01:12,540
Justin Graham: That’s a great question. It’s 70 years actually of the

23
00:01:12,540 –> 00:01:16,200
Justin Graham: Cannes Lions Festival down here. I’m not sure why it

24
00:01:16,200 –> 00:01:19,890
Justin Graham: started here originally, but there’s obviously two main festivals down

25
00:01:19,890 –> 00:01:22,619
Justin Graham: in Cannes. There’s the film festival, which happened about three

26
00:01:22,620 –> 00:01:25,679
Justin Graham: weeks ago, and then there’s the advertising festival, which always

27
00:01:25,679 –> 00:01:28,529
Justin Graham: happens the second or third week of June. And yeah,

28
00:01:28,529 –> 00:01:34,589
Justin Graham: it’s tens of thousands of advertising media, entertainment executives descending

29
00:01:34,590 –> 00:01:37,200
Justin Graham: on one of the most beautiful places in the world,

30
00:01:38,099 –> 00:01:40,440
Justin Graham: which I think, at one point was very much around

31
00:01:40,440 –> 00:01:43,110
Justin Graham: patting each other on the back and more for the

32
00:01:43,110 –> 00:01:45,658
Justin Graham: creative side of the industry to be able to award

33
00:01:45,660 –> 00:01:47,820
Justin Graham: each other the best work that was happening around the

34
00:01:47,820 –> 00:01:51,030
Justin Graham: world and inspire each other.
And over the years, that

35
00:01:51,030 –> 00:01:54,120
Justin Graham: has very much evolved, and now awards are still a

36
00:01:54,120 –> 00:01:57,570
Justin Graham: part of the festival, but now it’s very much around

37
00:01:57,660 –> 00:02:02,250
Justin Graham: a showcase for new technology, understanding at least the media

38
00:02:02,250 –> 00:02:05,730
Justin Graham: environment and a place where the people that actually paid

39
00:02:05,730 –> 00:02:09,299
Justin Graham: the bills, the clients, probably never came and weren’t seen.

40
00:02:09,630 –> 00:02:12,810
Justin Graham: It’s very much a festival designed for the clients to

41
00:02:12,810 –> 00:02:15,120
Justin Graham: be as much a part of that community and part

42
00:02:15,120 –> 00:02:17,700
Justin Graham: of the conversation as the agencies.

43
00:02:18,360 –> 00:02:20,099
Sean Aylmer: It’d be a great week or two to be in

44
00:02:20,099 –> 00:02:22,410
Sean Aylmer: the French Riviera, no doubt about it. So tell me,

45
00:02:23,070 –> 00:02:28,139
Sean Aylmer: how has advertising changed since the pandemic? Are brands becoming

46
00:02:28,139 –> 00:02:30,930
Sean Aylmer: more risk averse? Have they come out of their shell

47
00:02:30,930 –> 00:02:34,888
Sean Aylmer: again? Just broadly give us the temperature on brands.

48
00:02:35,280 –> 00:02:39,749
Justin Graham: Yeah, there was definitely a time through the pandemic where

49
00:02:39,839 –> 00:02:42,510
Justin Graham: I would say there was great safety around what we

50
00:02:42,510 –> 00:02:45,810
Justin Graham: were doing in the communication space, and that was very necessary.

51
00:02:46,290 –> 00:02:49,380
Justin Graham: I’ve talked in the past about how we went from

52
00:02:49,440 –> 00:02:54,418
Justin Graham: thinking around origination and brand building to a more utilitarian approach.

53
00:02:54,419 –> 00:02:56,880
Justin Graham: And as we think around the brands that we were

54
00:02:56,880 –> 00:03:01,079
Justin Graham: certainly fortunate to support through that time in Australia, the

55
00:03:01,080 –> 00:03:04,410
Justin Graham: likes of the Woolworths Group and Commonwealth Bank, even Tourism

56
00:03:04,410 –> 00:03:07,590
Justin Graham: Australia from a domestic point of view, it was more

57
00:03:07,620 –> 00:03:10,529
Justin Graham: practical in terms of what consumers and what people needed

58
00:03:10,530 –> 00:03:12,959
Justin Graham: from those brands at that time because there was some real,

59
00:03:12,960 –> 00:03:15,508
Justin Graham: obviously fear and some significant changes to how we were

60
00:03:15,508 –> 00:03:19,110
Justin Graham: living our lives. Coming out of that pandemic, there’s definitely

61
00:03:19,110 –> 00:03:22,889
Justin Graham: been some learnings around how we can talk to consumers

62
00:03:22,889 –> 00:03:25,440
Justin Graham: and what they want to hear from brands. There’s definitely

63
00:03:25,440 –> 00:03:28,980
Justin Graham: been a shift in media consumption. So significant shifts around

64
00:03:28,980 –> 00:03:33,119
Justin Graham: linear TV. Linear TV in particular, has effectively fallen off

65
00:03:33,120 –> 00:03:35,670
Justin Graham: a cliff. Now, that’s not to say that people aren’t engaging

66
00:03:35,670 –> 00:03:38,670
Justin Graham: in content, they’re just engaging in their own time, Catch

67
00:03:38,670 –> 00:03:42,990
Justin Graham: Up TV, BVOD, YouTube, and that’s really driving the way

68
00:03:42,990 –> 00:03:47,760
Justin Graham: that we think around how we send messages. The extraordinary

69
00:03:48,059 –> 00:03:52,109
Justin Graham: progress that happened around both data and personalisation as well

70
00:03:52,109 –> 00:03:54,149
Justin Graham: as AI, which I’m sure we will talk about, that’s

71
00:03:54,210 –> 00:03:57,480
Justin Graham: certainly been a theme this week as well, has meant

72
00:03:57,480 –> 00:04:02,520
Justin Graham: that the move away from big broadcast based advertising into

73
00:04:02,520 –> 00:04:06,599
Justin Graham: personalised one-to-one communication has really been a theme this week

74
00:04:06,599 –> 00:04:08,880
Justin Graham: and it’s been prominent around the world. It’s probably the

75
00:04:08,880 –> 00:04:11,340
Justin Graham: biggest impact that’s happened coming out of the pandemic.

76
00:04:12,359 –> 00:04:14,730
Sean Aylmer: In a practical sense, I mean, when you’re you talking

77
00:04:14,730 –> 00:04:18,960
Sean Aylmer: about that one- to- one communication, I think I understand

78
00:04:18,960 –> 00:04:22,260
Sean Aylmer: it, but can you give me an example of how

79
00:04:22,260 –> 00:04:23,100
Sean Aylmer: that works?

80
00:04:23,759 –> 00:04:26,940
Justin Graham: Yeah, so you mentioned TikTok upfront there as well, and

81
00:04:26,940 –> 00:04:30,630
Justin Graham: I think there’s how everyone’s feed is engaged with in

82
00:04:30,630 –> 00:04:34,169
Justin Graham: different ways. Brands showing up and using real data to

83
00:04:34,170 –> 00:04:37,469
Justin Graham: understand how you can serve those messages and serve that

84
00:04:37,470 –> 00:04:42,748
Justin Graham: content through the feed becomes very personalised. Netflix, for example,

85
00:04:43,080 –> 00:04:45,059
Justin Graham: a couple of years ago, their business model was very

86
00:04:45,059 –> 00:04:48,660
Justin Graham: much around subscription based services. Last year they announced they

87
00:04:48,660 –> 00:04:52,980
Justin Graham: were going to have an advertising funded model, and so surprise, surprise,

88
00:04:53,310 –> 00:04:55,919
Justin Graham: they’ve turned up at Cannes this year wanting to talk

89
00:04:55,920 –> 00:04:59,099
Justin Graham: to advertisers around how they can be part of the platform.

90
00:04:59,099 –> 00:05:02,459
Justin Graham: And so when you’re logged in and you’re part of

91
00:05:02,580 –> 00:05:07,529
Justin Graham: your Netflix subscription, then you can have effectively personalized ads.

92
00:05:07,560 –> 00:05:10,859
Justin Graham: And as we start to look into artificial intelligence to

93
00:05:10,860 –> 00:05:12,870
Justin Graham: be able to generate that as well, what you might

94
00:05:12,870 –> 00:05:15,870
Justin Graham: see through your Netflix feed if you go down that

95
00:05:15,870 –> 00:05:18,719
Justin Graham: path to have that funded service will be different to mine.

96
00:05:18,990 –> 00:05:22,649
Justin Graham: And that’s a great opportunity for advertisers because in the past

97
00:05:22,650 –> 00:05:25,350
Justin Graham: it was one message going out to the masses. Now,

98
00:05:25,350 –> 00:05:28,290
Justin Graham: there’s an opportunity to customise that message through all the

99
00:05:28,290 –> 00:05:30,630
Justin Graham: pipes that we know that come into our house and

100
00:05:30,630 –> 00:05:31,260
Justin Graham: through our phone.

101
00:05:32,250 –> 00:05:34,230
Sean Aylmer: Yeah, the flip side of that though, as an advertiser,

102
00:05:34,230 –> 00:05:36,569
Sean Aylmer: how do I know which one to take? So if

103
00:05:36,570 –> 00:05:39,029
Sean Aylmer: Netflix is coming to me and linear TV’s coming to

104
00:05:39,029 –> 00:05:42,240
Sean Aylmer: me, podcasts are coming to me, how do I know

105
00:05:43,020 –> 00:05:44,550
Sean Aylmer: which option to take?

106
00:05:45,120 –> 00:05:48,150
Justin Graham: Yeah, I think there’s a value exchange that happens with

107
00:05:48,240 –> 00:05:53,159
Justin Graham: consumers and they’re getting content, they’re getting entertainment, they’re getting news,

108
00:05:53,160 –> 00:05:56,220
Justin Graham: whatever it might be. And so on the flip side there,

109
00:05:56,730 –> 00:05:58,650
Justin Graham: there’s an opportunity for brands to be able to go

110
00:05:58,650 –> 00:06:02,368
Justin Graham: and customise the messages that they’re saying there. So I

111
00:06:02,370 –> 00:06:06,390
Justin Graham: think it’s an interesting world at the moment because certainly

112
00:06:06,390 –> 00:06:09,570
Justin Graham: talking to people down here, walking along the Croisette, as

113
00:06:09,570 –> 00:06:13,230
Justin Graham: they say, down in the French Riviera, it’s an uncertain

114
00:06:13,230 –> 00:06:17,490
Justin Graham: time as well. It’s an uncertain time around where brands

115
00:06:17,490 –> 00:06:21,420
Justin Graham: should be investing their money. Traditional metrics around Share of

116
00:06:21,420 –> 00:06:24,419
Justin Graham: Voice for example, are still very prominent and a lot

117
00:06:24,420 –> 00:06:27,779
Justin Graham: of the marketeers and boards are still incentivised around that.

118
00:06:28,080 –> 00:06:29,819
Justin Graham: But how do you go and get that reach when

119
00:06:29,820 –> 00:06:33,359
Justin Graham: you’re going down these more one-to-one channels? So it’s just

120
00:06:33,360 –> 00:06:36,029
Justin Graham: reconciling itself at the moment. And so it will be interesting

121
00:06:36,029 –> 00:06:37,770
Justin Graham: in the next couple of years what that means for

122
00:06:37,770 –> 00:06:40,410
Justin Graham: advertising and creativity and where that takes it.

123
00:06:40,890 –> 00:06:42,810
Sean Aylmer: Stay with me, Justin. We’ll be back in a minute.

124
00:06:48,809 –> 00:06:52,109
Sean Aylmer: My guest today is Justin Graham, Group CEO at M&C

125
00:06:52,320 –> 00:06:55,860
Sean Aylmer: Saatchi Australia and New Zealand and Global Head of Advertising.

126
00:06:56,580 –> 00:06:58,830
Sean Aylmer: I’m interested in the brand itself. I mean, a brand

127
00:06:59,430 –> 00:07:02,339
Sean Aylmer: kind of represents a company or a product or whatever,

128
00:07:02,550 –> 00:07:04,889
Sean Aylmer: but if it’s one-to-one, can you have a bunch of

129
00:07:04,889 –> 00:07:06,479
Sean Aylmer: different brands for the one product?

130
00:07:08,219 –> 00:07:12,449
Justin Graham: Yeah, it’s a really good observation because effectively you can.

131
00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:16,350
Justin Graham: I mean, we customize these brands and a brand that

132
00:07:16,350 –> 00:07:20,130
Justin Graham: everyone knows is Nike, and Nike’s had a very good

133
00:07:20,429 –> 00:07:22,650
Justin Graham: week again here winning some awards for some work that

134
00:07:22,650 –> 00:07:26,819
Justin Graham: they’ve done. And Nike, I think, do it brilliantly. When

135
00:07:26,820 –> 00:07:30,180
Justin Graham: they think about their brand having a core, and then

136
00:07:30,180 –> 00:07:32,970
Justin Graham: the flex that sits around that brand that allows it

137
00:07:32,970 –> 00:07:36,510
Justin Graham: to move into different places. Whether you’re a runner, a

138
00:07:36,510 –> 00:07:39,059
Justin Graham: yoga instructor, or someone that’s just trying to go for

139
00:07:39,059 –> 00:07:41,010
Justin Graham: a walk or someone that’s a skateboarder or whatever it

140
00:07:41,010 –> 00:07:44,099
Justin Graham: might be, that brand stretches into all those different areas.

141
00:07:44,099 –> 00:07:48,630
Justin Graham: So theoretically, your Nike experience would be very different to

142
00:07:48,630 –> 00:07:52,739
Justin Graham: my Nike experience. Yeah, and that’s something that we’re all

143
00:07:52,740 –> 00:07:55,530
Justin Graham: grappling with as well because arguably it was easier in

144
00:07:55,530 –> 00:07:57,540
Justin Graham: the past. I’m sure that people that were in the

145
00:07:57,540 –> 00:07:59,250
Justin Graham: past say, “No, it wasn’t easy then. It was just

146
00:07:59,250 –> 00:08:00,869
Justin Graham: as hard.” But we look back and say, “It was

147
00:08:00,870 –> 00:08:03,450
Justin Graham: probably easier because there was one message and you would

148
00:08:03,450 –> 00:08:07,380
Justin Graham: take a broader insight around society.” Let’s just take Nike

149
00:08:07,380 –> 00:08:10,500
Justin Graham: and they still stick to their purpose, which they believe

150
00:08:10,500 –> 00:08:14,639
Justin Graham: everyone’s an athlete. How that manifests itself across multiple channels

151
00:08:14,639 –> 00:08:16,950
Justin Graham: and messages is really what’s changed.

152
00:08:18,000 –> 00:08:19,679
Sean Aylmer: I’ve got to ask about TikTok. We’ve mentioned it a

153
00:08:19,679 –> 00:08:22,769
Sean Aylmer: couple of times. Every time you read about TikTok, the

154
00:08:22,770 –> 00:08:26,130
Sean Aylmer: audience is growing and not withstanding some of the geopolitical

155
00:08:26,130 –> 00:08:31,680
Sean Aylmer: concerns, it is an incredibly powerful medium. Are brands using

156
00:08:31,680 –> 00:08:37,081
Sean Aylmer: TikTok to reflect the numbers of people using TikTok?

157
00:08:37,081 –> 00:08:42,209
Justin Graham: They are. I mean, TikTok’s just on an incredible journey of growth and are very

158
00:08:42,240 –> 00:08:46,410
Justin Graham: prominent, again, here. It’s often interesting to see the rise

159
00:08:46,410 –> 00:08:51,510
Justin Graham: in potentially more muted brands. Brands like Twitter, for example,

160
00:08:51,510 –> 00:08:54,360
Justin Graham: with all the challenges that they’ve had, are very muted

161
00:08:54,360 –> 00:08:57,869
Justin Graham: in terms of their appearance. Whereas TikTok is very significant

162
00:08:57,870 –> 00:09:01,679
Justin Graham: and their growth is just extraordinary around the world. Brands

163
00:09:01,679 –> 00:09:06,090
Justin Graham: love TikTok because it’s a place where creation happens as

164
00:09:06,090 –> 00:09:08,970
Justin Graham: well. It really is a creator’s platform, and so they

165
00:09:08,970 –> 00:09:13,319
Justin Graham: can be very creative around that piece. And it’s interesting,

166
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:15,900
Justin Graham: I think the rise of TikTok, many brands were on

167
00:09:15,900 –> 00:09:18,929
Justin Graham: TikTok before they even realized they were on TikTok because

168
00:09:19,860 –> 00:09:24,809
Justin Graham: their employees, their staff members were uploading content around their

169
00:09:24,809 –> 00:09:27,900
Justin Graham: experience. And so yeah, it’s a fascinating space to see

170
00:09:27,900 –> 00:09:30,599
Justin Graham: where that will go to, outside of the geopolitical concerns

171
00:09:30,599 –> 00:09:31,828
Justin Graham: as exactly as you said.

172
00:09:32,429 –> 00:09:35,069
Sean Aylmer: I’ve got to ask you about creativity just quickly, where

173
00:09:35,070 –> 00:09:38,130
Sean Aylmer: does Australia stack up in terms of creativity? Because you’re

174
00:09:38,550 –> 00:09:42,300
Sean Aylmer: in the centre of the advertising world right now, how

175
00:09:42,300 –> 00:09:43,020
Sean Aylmer: do we perform?

176
00:09:44,190 –> 00:09:47,490
Justin Graham: Australia’s always performed very well. We punch above our weight

177
00:09:47,550 –> 00:09:50,819
Justin Graham: and really perform well on the world stage. And after a

178
00:09:50,820 –> 00:09:54,179
Justin Graham: few quieter years in terms of our creativity, and I

179
00:09:54,179 –> 00:09:58,410
Justin Graham: think that was a product of a longer lockdown period,

180
00:09:59,010 –> 00:10:01,890
Justin Graham: more internally focused from an industry point of view in

181
00:10:01,890 –> 00:10:04,349
Justin Graham: terms of supporting each other and supporting the brands that

182
00:10:04,349 –> 00:10:07,140
Justin Graham: were certainly from on the domestic front through the pandemic.

183
00:10:07,620 –> 00:10:10,170
Justin Graham: This year has been a real return to form. There’s

184
00:10:10,170 –> 00:10:14,309
Justin Graham: been Australians winning across the world stage every night. There’s

185
00:10:14,309 –> 00:10:17,130
Justin Graham: a series of awards across the different types of advertising,

186
00:10:17,130 –> 00:10:20,429
Justin Graham: whether that be film or entertainment or effectiveness, et cetera.

187
00:10:20,790 –> 00:10:23,429
Justin Graham: And every night Australians have done incredibly well. So it’s

188
00:10:23,429 –> 00:10:26,399
Justin Graham: great to see my colleagues around the world getting up

189
00:10:26,400 –> 00:10:29,309
Justin Graham: there and getting some awards again and being recognized, because

190
00:10:30,900 –> 00:10:34,439
Justin Graham: Australia has always been a fascinating melting pot for creativity.

191
00:10:34,440 –> 00:10:37,620
Justin Graham: Australians have always done very well on the world stage

192
00:10:37,620 –> 00:10:40,500
Justin Graham: and are leading some of the biggest advertising networks in

193
00:10:40,500 –> 00:10:44,579
Justin Graham: the world and are very proud to be representing that from Australia.

194
00:10:44,580 –> 00:10:46,739
Justin Graham: So it’s great to see, and that only makes the

195
00:10:46,740 –> 00:10:50,010
Justin Graham: industry better. It makes M&C Saatchi better when you’re looking

196
00:10:50,010 –> 00:10:53,190
Justin Graham: at your peers doing very well, and it’s exciting around

197
00:10:53,190 –> 00:10:54,600
Justin Graham: what the next year ahead would look like.

198
00:10:55,410 –> 00:10:58,139
Sean Aylmer: I have to ask you, Justin, what’s your favourite ever campaign?

199
00:10:58,139 –> 00:11:00,089
Sean Aylmer: I mean, let’s say the favourite ever campaign you’ve worked on,

200
00:11:00,090 –> 00:11:02,490
Sean Aylmer: or maybe that’s going to narrow it too much, but

201
00:11:02,490 –> 00:11:05,429
Sean Aylmer: just give me a taste of one of your favourites.

202
00:11:05,999 –> 00:11:10,110
Justin Graham: Favourite campaign I ever worked on. The first campaign campaign

203
00:11:10,110 –> 00:11:13,470
Justin Graham: I ever worked on was Bundaberg Rum in Australia.

204
00:11:13,530 –> 00:11:13,980
Sean Aylmer: Oh, wow.

205
00:11:14,040 –> 00:11:16,199
Justin Graham: It’s sort a throwback there, which at the time was

206
00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:19,199
Justin Graham: doing phenomenally well and still is. And I just thought

207
00:11:19,200 –> 00:11:22,679
Justin Graham: that was fascinating around something that was so uniquely Australian

208
00:11:22,679 –> 00:11:27,328
Justin Graham: with the Bundy Bear and the representation that took across

209
00:11:27,330 –> 00:11:31,440
Justin Graham: regional Australia in particular. And that was a campaign that

210
00:11:31,440 –> 00:11:34,649
Justin Graham: didn’t translate so well in the world stage. But I

211
00:11:34,650 –> 00:11:36,719
Justin Graham: always look very fondly back on that and think I

212
00:11:36,719 –> 00:11:40,500
Justin Graham: learned a lot about how to embed brands and culture, and

213
00:11:40,679 –> 00:11:44,460
Justin Graham: Diageo a phenomenal marketing company.
I’ve been very fortunate to

214
00:11:44,460 –> 00:11:46,559
Justin Graham: work on some great brands around the world. And more

215
00:11:46,559 –> 00:11:51,208
Justin Graham: recently, the Tourism Australia work. We’ve done some fantastic campaigns,

216
00:11:51,240 –> 00:11:54,659
Justin Graham: both pre pandemic as we looked at getting people from

217
00:11:54,660 –> 00:11:57,089
Justin Graham: the UK into Australia, and then post pandemic with the

218
00:11:57,089 –> 00:12:00,449
Justin Graham: recent work we’ve done with G’Day, where we featured Australian

219
00:12:00,449 –> 00:12:04,980
Justin Graham: actor Rose Byrne and the American actor Will Arnett with

220
00:12:04,980 –> 00:12:07,950
Justin Graham: the help of some animated characters to go and welcome

221
00:12:07,950 –> 00:12:11,670
Justin Graham: Australia back. And that’s great nation building work because it’s

222
00:12:11,670 –> 00:12:15,540
Justin Graham: creativity that’s best and it’s out there and it’s such

223
00:12:15,540 –> 00:12:17,879
Justin Graham: an important job for the hundreds of thousands of small

224
00:12:17,879 –> 00:12:20,848
Justin Graham: business operators in Australia that rely on that sort of

225
00:12:20,850 –> 00:12:24,780
Justin Graham: communication for inbound tourism. So it’s great to work on

226
00:12:24,780 –> 00:12:26,970
Justin Graham: those big campaigns on the world stage.

227
00:12:27,450 –> 00:12:29,310
Sean Aylmer: Justin, thank you for talking to Fear and Greed.
