Episode 24: How to be creative in lots of ways with Sara Oteri, Jess Wheeler, and Alita Harvey-Rodriguez

On this episode I’m talking to three guests who have lots of fingers in lots of pies, showing that creativity can work in many, inspiring ways, and who are all showing Australia that being creative is for everyone.

Jess Wheeler Jess is an internationally-awarded writer, creative director and current state head of AWARD School. Beyong ads, he’s been interviewed by Rolling Stone for building a ‘Lena Dunham Apology Generator’ and started an international incident between Ja Rule and 50 Cent with his Trump Googles idea. https://www.jessmakesads.com/

Sara Oteri Sara is Executive Creative Director at Independent agency Akkomplice, self confessed greenie, and a Masterchef finalist. When she's not making ads, like the remake of 'No Worries Jan' for client Darrell Lea, she shows her 35,000 Instagram followers that eating incredible food shouldn’t cost the Earth, or your back pocket.
