Description

Malobi Dasgupta was supposed to be a chemist. Instead she wrote one email, moved to Paris, and now helps run the agency that’s been crowned Cannes Agency of the Year… twice.

We get into how Publicis Conseil actually pulls it off, why spec work still matters, and the lessons every young creative can steal to make their own way in.
