THE FUEL PODCAST – PETER SOUTER: A WAY WITH WORDS

Words have impact. Words have meaning. In your advertising, in your PR copy, in your emails, in your social media.

And here to explain his fascination with words is one of the advertising industry’s most famous creative directors, copywriter and agency leader and mentor, Peter Souter.

We caught up him in his last 2 months as TBWA London’s Chairman and CCO – before he retires to enjoy his days using the written word to create entertainment – and this show is full of words of wisdom accumulated over his stellar career.

Starting his career at Delaney Fletcher Delaney in the mid-80s, Souter joined AMV BBDO in 1991, quickly climbing the ranks to replace David Abbott – a creative mind Souter says he grew up “devoted” to – and becoming executive creative director in 1997. After 17 years he took four years out to follow his passion for screenwriting, returning to adland in 2012.

He’s also about to embark on an exciting new venture with comedy screenwriter Richard Curtis. We hear all about that and Peter passes on his learnings from a prolific 40-year career in advertising.

THE FUEL PODCAST – GUSTAV MARTNER – GREENPEACE: THIS IS FINE

It’s not fine. It’s far from fine. It’s about as far from fine as it could be. Gustav Martner is the Creative Director of Greenpeace Nordics and earlier this year, he handed back one of his many Cannes Lions as a headline-grabbing protest against the advertising industry that is still rewarding companies that are causing maximum harm to our planet, while they gaslight us into thinking they are doing good.

Enough already! It has to stop and Gustav explains why.

He’s on a mission to have advertising from fossil fuel companies banned and if your agency works for a fossil fuel company, then he’s coming for your budgets.

And a milder, more level-headed guy you couldn’t wish to meet. He’s not some tree-hugging hippie that glues himself to the motorway. He understands the whole argument because he’s been on the other side of the fence, running agencies and working for big oil, big aviation and big auto but he’s seen the light…and it’s fading fast.

Here’s a show about how the advertising industry can still do what it does best, but as a force for good for the planet.
