The Badlands - Damian Mckeown

Longest episode yet! Includes a guest appearance from our family puppy.

In this instalment of The Badlands, I’m talking with an ex colleague, Damian Mckeown, Damian is highly experienced Chief Strategy officer, with career spanning time at Wieden + Kennedy to DDB to Droga5 along with a few more of biggest and best Ad Agencies in the world…BUT 

Ridiculously he is in the Badlands, So in this episode we start with a cameo from my our new family puppy ‘Jerry’, and then we dive into Damiens long and exceptional career.

We discuss everything from Ernest Hemingway, writing letters to get noticed to a very specific colour blue. Along with self identity, the shift towards user-generated content and AI, the importance of human connection and the challenges of loneliness and ego during periods of unemployment. All the while trying to offer up some tips and advice for everyone else in the Badlands.

We hope you enjoy, please share it with anyone you know that is currently in the need of a Fire Extinguisher salesman or a highly experience Chief Strategy Officer that is available immediately. Or anyone else in the Badlands.
