Live from Arnold in Boston: Brains, Grit and Brand Building.

Boston has been a creative powerhouse for decades. While agencies like Mullen, The Barbarian Group, Modernista, and Hill Holiday have all left their mark, Arnold continues to this day, alongside smaller agencies like Colossus, to make a mark with national work (think Progressive Insurance) that makes most of us jealous.

Boston also has many in-house agencies at companies including The LEGO Group. Shark Ninja, Staples, Liberty Mutual, New Balance, Puma, etc. We talk about all this and more with many of the people at its center.

Listen to the episode and see the creative work below. Thanks to Tracksuit, Ipsos and the Effies for supporting our live tour.
