Failure is not something I naturally associate with Janet Kestin and Nancy Vonk but when two advertising powerhouses approach you with a topic, who am I to argue? If you don’t know Nancy and Janet, let me school you. Ever heard of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty? For 13 years, Jancy were at the creative helm of Ogilvy Canada and led the agency through some of its most glorious days - not just on Dove but many, many other famous campaigns. Diamond Shreddies, ring a bell? Since then, Janet and Nancy have been named Ad Age’s 100 Most Influential Women in Advertising and most recently were inducted into the One Show Hall of Fame. So yeah, back to failure. Not something I’d ever associate with these two. But after talking to them for an hour, I realized that  part of what has made them so successful is their downright acceptance of falling flat on your face, picking yourself back up again, and coming back even stronger. Enjoy listening to this episode because I sure enjoyed recording it!
