Strategy and design form the cornerstones of both the personal and the professional relationship between Justin and Emily Nardone, founders and partners at Los Angeles-based creative agency Bellaluca. In this episode, the Nardones share how they came together to evolve their individual work to a new place -- both literally and figuratively -- creating an agency that combines strategy and creative to take brands forward.

WAR’s Brien Holman discusses how the agency creates compelling visuals for audio-only content and why  sound and music are so important in all types of marketing. 

19th and Park Co-Founders Tahira White and Whitney Headen – president and CEO, respectively – discuss how they created and launched the New York City-based agency and its newly launched production company, 1Park9.

They share what the two entities’ unique positioning is in the marketplace, why they felt the need to launch a division that’s entirely focused on production and how they find and develop talent – a mission on which they each spend a lot of time. They also encourage the industry to give up-and-coming diverse talent the experience they need to survive and thrive. And finally, they share their views on how talent should be working with artificial intelligence as they forge their creative paths forward.
