Smith & Western’s Creative Relay Podcast gets to “The Core” of creativity

The Creative Relay podcast has launched a new episode with guests Jon Skinner and Christian Finucane from The Core Agency. Talking to host Paul Dunne, the pair give a fascinating insight into their 20+ year creative partnership, along with the origins, challenges and rewards of operating their own independent agency.

Says Dunne: “Jon and Christian stepped out of agency networks to be their own boss way before it was fashionable. So it was great to sit down with them and reflect on where it’s taken them.”

The lively conversation bounces from Skinner and Finucane’s early success under the guidance of the legendary Neil Lawrence to their surprise accolade from TBWA’s chairman and global guru Lee Clow.

For Dan Higson, Smith and Western producer and creator of The Creative Relay, Skinner and Finucane added a fresh new dimension to the popular podcast: “As guys who have had skin in the agency game for a long time, it’s inspiring to see Jon and Christian still have real passion for the craft.”

The latest episode of The Creative Relay is now available at thecreativerelay.com and on all popular platforms.
