The Creative Graveyard: Resurrecting Great Ideas with Dead Ad Society

Update: 2025-08-07

Description

For every ad you see on TV, dozens of brilliant ideas were killed along the way. That gut-wrenching feeling of losing a script you loved is a universal part of the creative process.

In this episode, we're going behind the scenes with the creators of the Dead Ad Society, a unique anti-award show where dead ads get a second chance at life.

We'll talk about why great ideas die, how creatives cope with rejection, and the story of one ad that was too good to stay buried.


Big thanks to my special guests:

Caleb Dewart (hungryman)

LJ Johnson (hungryman)

Chad Broude (Highdive)
