Absolutely loved having Rosie Yakob as my wonderful guest for episode 21! Rosie is Co-Founder of the nomadic creative consultancy Genius Steals, along with her husband and partner Faris; whom I had on the show earlier on in the year. Genius/Steals have helped build strategies and consult iconic brands such as Gibson, Coca-Cola, Google, The Guardian and more; so you instantly know it's worth paying attention to this conversation.
Full-time nomad, strategist, speaker & incredible human being. Rosie began her career working with hip hop legends Jay-Z and Steve Stoute at their entertainment branding company, developing non-traditional ways for brand like Target, Wrigley and Samsung to connect with their fans. She was also lead strategist on the Cannes Grand Prix and Facebook Best in Show winning Oreo Daily Twist campaign during her time at 360i and has previously worked at Cake Group, as well as Saatchi & Saatchi. You can't even begin to understand how excited I was for this chat and how much I learnt from it!
Expect tips for digital nomad life, talk about working with hip hop legends Jay-Z & Steve Stoute, tips on how brands can give value and create culture, talk about the difference between copying and being inspired by and a whole load more stuff!! Have your notebooks ready!
