On the very first episode of the ‘So that’s how it’s done’ podcast, we sit down with JC Reyes to talk about his extensive career as a creative. We discuss what an Executive Producer role looks like and how his journey through many creative roles has shaped him to best support his clients in achieving their goals.

Episode 2: Working with good creatives and being willing to take a little risk as a Creative Director with Sarah Hickey
Listen along as we chat to Monster and Bear’s creative director (and general creative powerhouse) Sarah Hickey, as we discuss her role as a business owner, director and creative director. We discuss what those roles look like to her, how she juggles them, and the benefits of diving in the deep end. Sarah tells us about the importance of having thick skin, the power in reframing ‘failures’ as an opportunity to learn, and how sometimes the best thing you can do for a mental refresh is to go for a (really long) walk.
