Tagline

Join us for a provocative conversation about what it means to engineer content, develop creative and create entertainment in an age of virtual realities, artificial intelligence and unprecedented consumer access to capture, consume and curate on our own terms. We’ll explore new collaborations, new norms, and new perspectives on advertising, music, media and technology and how the creative process is evolving, the roles are changing and the lines are blurring rapidly for creators, creatives, brands and fans.   We’ve all got stake in what happens next…let’s explore the future together on the next episode of Tagline.

This time around, legendary creative David Droga (whose Droga5 been named Agency of the Year 11 times, as well as appearing on Ad Age’s A-List for a record-breaking seven consecutive years) and firebrand marketer and activist Cindy Gallop (Founder, IfWeRanTheWorld and MakeLoveNotPorn) join iHeartMedia CMO Gayle Troberman to dissect the true value of creativity. Hear about ideas that stand out in a crowd, including solutions for harvesting the wisdom of creatives – all while mixologist Jessica Gonzalez provides an eye-popping and delicious Bulleit cocktail.

Making a triumphant return to the hosting chair, Rob Norman (Global Chair, Group M) welcomes fellow big thinkers Vivian Rosenthal (CEO, Snaps), Paul Woolmington (CEO, Canvas) and Ian Schafer (CEO, Deep Focus) to decode the huge opportunities for brands and challenges for creative people to breakthrough in the feed.

Creative Inspiration Gold! Tagline hits LA to chat with a group of unique creators. Dan Lin (Founder, Lin Pictures, of Lego Movie fame), Mike Sheldon (Chairman & CEO, Deutsch North America) and Michael Beneville (artist and designer) share with Gayle Troberman (CMO, iHeartMedia) how they create, surprise, sell and change the game. On repeat.

In another episode from Austin, TX, artist and activist Melissa Etheridge, Visa’s Chris Curtin (Chief Brand & Innovation Marketing Officer) and Jingle Jared Gutstadt sit down with Publicis Media’s Global Innovation President Adam Shlachter to talk about the magic that happens from the mashup ups of brands and music and tech and purpose-revealing the secrets to great collaborations, the importance of surrounding yourself with creative people and winning through the power of disruption.

Tagline decamps to SXSW in Austin, Texas to capture a free-wheeling, music-filled episode with artist, activist and founding member of the Fugees, Wyclef Jean, outspoken Lava Records CEO and podcaster Jason Flom and Gap CMO Craig Brommers – all hosted by Adam Shlachter, President, Global Innovation, Publicis Media. The guests share frank tales of taking risks, winning (and losing) partnerships and the importance of leading with knowledge and intention, but allowing enough room for luck and serendipity too. Come for the insight, stay for the epic dialogue, delicious Bulleit cocktails and ‘Clef’s spontaneous performances.

Bold thinkers. Big Experience. Radically Unfiltered Stories and Tips. In celebration of International Women's Day, iHeartMedia’s CMO, Gayle Troberman assembled female powerhouses Val DiFebo (CEO, Deutsch NY), Lori Feldman (EVP, Brand Partnerships, Warner Brothers Records) and Tiffany Rolfe (CCO, co:collective) for an intimate and honest conversation on succeeding by “doing you.”
