Big Noises: Amy Kean on why media needs more weirdos

Media Voices Podcast

Next up on our Big Noises season is Amy Kean, bestselling author, LinkedIn top voice, former head of innovation for Publicis and now CEO and Creative Director of Good Shout, a company that helps people communicate better. Amy is also a self-confessed weirdo and my big question for her was, could media do with more weirdos to stem the tide of painfully undifferentiated products that Neil spoke about last week?
We also spoke about fear, ego, jargon and how to spot a good weirdo rather than someone that’s going to be an HR problem.
