In this episode of Inside Jobs, we meet Laurie Schiada, who’s made a career out of pushing the creative envelope. Laurie joined legendary designer Saul Bass as an art school grad before setting out on her own as a freelancer. From there, her design work quickly evolved into branding and creative leadership roles. At Disney, Boeing and beyond, Laurie honed her skills managing creative talent, advancing team structures and reawakening legacy brands. Today, she runs Humana’s in-house agency, The Hive—empowering creatives to reach beyond brand standards and add value at every point of contact with the business.

In this episode of Inside Jobs, we hear from academic hopeful turned in-house agency leader, Graham Daldry. When education reform curbed his early career plans, Graham took a turn as an advertising writer. A handful of agencies and some 2,000 scripts later, he left Ogilvy & Mather to help build a budding eyewear brand from the inside out. Follow along as Graham discusses all things advertising, from copywriting to creative leadership to the merits of the in-house model. (UK listeners: stay with us ’til the end to hear how the iconic “Should’ve gone to Specsavers” tagline came to be.)
