Campaign podcast: Populism vs high art, Nike and what makes an Agency of the Year – CampaignLive

Should the ad industry stop trying to make high art and just aim for popular appeal? This debate has been raging since Campaign published its March cover feature, Why advertising should be more Mrs. Browns Boys and less Fleabag. Campaign's Brittaney Kiefer, Maisie McCabe and Kate Magee unpick this debate and weigh in with their own opinions.

They also discuss a new Nike ad celebrating the strength of pregnant women, a CampaignPick of the Week,created by Wieden & Kennedy London. Speaking of that agency, what will the departure of its esteemed creative leader Tony Davidson mean for the business?

Plus, Uncommon Creative Studio recently took home Campaigns Creative Agency of the Year crown. So what makes an Agency of the Year winner?

Later in the episode, legendary planner Paul Feldwick talks to Engine chief strategy officer Gen Kobayashi about whether advertising has become too knowing for its own good.
