Richard Brim | Emotion In The Making
Emotion in creativity is an unfair advantage.
At least according to Richard Brim – whose consistently Lion-winning career has seen him produce laughs, tears and everything in between for the likes of Marmite, Shelter and John Lewis.
For Episode 5 of ‘In The Making’, Richard and Simon Cook take a trip down memory lane – lifting the lid on the work that made him, the work that’s yet to come, and even the now-iconic Christmas work that very nearly didn’t get made.
Hear Richard’s story in the fifth episode The LIONS Podcast | In The Making.
