Episode #106 features the brilliant Franki Goodwin, Chief Creative Officer of Saatchi & Saatchi, London. And is hands down one of our favourite episodes yet.

Hugely talented, humble, funny, smart, generous, collaborative and many other things, Franki was ace.

We started with British Heart Foundation and discovered how the footy murals campaign came about, which in itself is a great story, esp the casting for the huge wall paintings, which had to come from photos from the families and then brought to life in sensitive but photo realistic fashion by Global Street Art. Then there was ‘Benches’ the follow up campaign, which came from a placement team who went on to see their idea come to life across the country in the form of 65 benches to commemorate those still living, thanks to BHF. The work earned the team their first job at Saacthi’s. Congratulations Lucy Norie & Hannah Underwood. That is an amazing achievement. Nothing is impossible indeed.

We found out who really has got the biggest (meat) balls on Oxford St.

We discovered that Franki loves pumping tonnes of magenta paint all over buildings in Germany for T-Mobile.

We also talked about Western Edge Pictures - Franki’s film production company and how hard it is to make movie posters with no budget. And what it’s like to work for Mike Figgis in Venice making a live website, while hanging out with Salma Hayek.

Thank you Franki, so much for coming on and brightening our day, sorry for the croaky voice. Please come back on again soon.

Thanks also to Adrian at Soho Radio, Jon for the edit and our regular sponsors, who make the show possible:
