“Hello and welcome to The A-List, the podcast that asks the world’s top advertising professionals how they got started in the business.”
It began as a way to get the word out about Adhouse by asking the kinds of A-List creatives who teach there about how they broke into the business. Three years later, it is the passion project that led host Tom Christmann to join with Paul Fix to carry Lauren Slaff’s vision forward and help lead Adhouse into the future. Tom has interviewed some of the best in the business over dozens of hours, including Rob Reilly, Greg Hahn, Anselmo Ramos and Linda Kaplan-Thaler. It might just be required listening for anyone who wants to get into the biz, whether you take an Adhouse class or not.
“This is a great podcast, full of curiosity and insights for our creativity and careers. Makes me want to sign up for the Adhouse Advertising School.”
Get started by listening to the origin stories of our two new directors, Tom Christmann (interviewed by Adhouse founder Lauren Slaff) and Paul Fix (interviewed by Tom). What a great way to get to know your teachers! :) Enjoy. Listen on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts (where it is rated 5 stars!) or wherever you get your podcasts. And please subscribe and rate the pod (5-stars please!) when you do.
