Today’s guest is the highly experienced Holly Maguire, Global Chief Growth Officer at Design Bridge and Partners. She shares her unique perspective on how agencies can evolve with empathy, not ego.
As her career has progressed from advertising to brand design, and as a former agency CEO, Holly describes the power she’s seen in humility, collaboration and enduring craft skills.
We also explore the growing need for greater emotional intelligence - across industry language, client relationships and agency leadership. As Holly puts it, less talking, more listening - and never be too presidential or too detached from the shop floor.
With heartfelt insight and optimism, Holly urges agencies to know their worth, lead with empathy, and build on what's already great.
