What a 29 year old Creative Director knows better than a 49 year old Creative Director - with CD Emily Kurek
On this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Emily Kurek, Creative Director at Ammunition in Atlanta, Georgia. Emily and I struck up a conversation on LinkedIn and during our exchange she mentioned that when she became a creative director at just under 30 years old, she got a lot of flack from some people that thought she didn’t have enough experience or was too young to be effective. And that got me to thinking….I bet there are a few things a young creative director knows more about or can do better than the older generation CD. And that’s what we’re going to talk about today. So if you wanna come after anyone, come after me because I came up with this topic and she bravely stepped up to the plate. Perhaps bravery is one of things a younger CD brings to the table?
