Today on the Movidiam Creative Leaders Podcast we’re delighted to welcome Alex Cooper. Alex came to his creative career through being in a more non-creative career — as an account manager and then account director for M&C Saachi, while working on other creative exploits on the side. Eventually, he moved into his creative work more directly, first with creative content agency The Wagon, and then into directing full time. Now, he plays many roles, in order to create diverse and interesting content, something that wasn’t exactly possible in the rigid agency model. He sees comedy as the linchpin of good content, and a way for brands to communicate with consumers more effectively, and on a human level. It is a way to get a reaction out of consumers, rather than just dictate impressions. Such is the power of comedy.
Yeah…Stink Studios opened…London ten years ago, originally as a digital production company, so working a lot with brands and advertising agencies to develop mostly web-based experiences and a lot of the time we were using sort of emerging technology in an interesting way to bring ideas to life.

We have a real expertise in how ideas are actually brought to life, which is why we call ourselves a studio and not an agency. There’s a real focus on bringing the creativity and execution together.

I'm really getting involved with our key stakeholders across all the marketing categories of which there (are) many. We were responsible for 16 or 17 categories - advertising, media production, print, PR, market research, digital, E-commerce. So...it's the forefront of what companies are really starting to focus and is really how we're managing our marketing spend and what the return on investment. So I think procurement is the place to be these days.
