    The Leadership at the Peak program focuses on the fact that it’s different at the top. The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL®) understands that leading an organization is a powerful — and humbling — experience. Top leaders play an enormous role in the success of organizations. And, they need to excel in new ways. The challenges of leadership at the top are far-reaching, complex and essential to get right, that’s why it’s important to have effective C-suite leadership training.

    Features interviews with Martin’s Chairman and CEO Chris Martin IV, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Steve Miller, Rosanne Cash, Vince Gill, Del McCoury, Martin Guitar’s Dick Boak, Jason Isbell, Seth Avett and Sturgill Simpson to name a few…

    It’s a legend that began on a humble wooden workbench in a dusty factory in 1916. The instrument made that day was a guitar with a startling design created by America’s leading guitar maker – C.F. Martin and Co. based in Nazareth, PA. In time, the guitar would become one of the world’s most iconic instruments, shaping the very sound of American music.

    The Ballad of the Dreadnought takes you on a journey of one of music’s icons – the Martin Dreadnought. For 100 years, the Martin Dreadnought has been the musical companion for countless musicians throughout music’s history. From Crosby, Stills and Nash on stage for the first time together at Woodstock with a D-45 to Seth Avett discovering countless songs waiting inside his Martin D-35, these artists will take you along as they lovingly recall moments where they stood proudly alongside their trusted Martin Dreadnoughts. The iconic Martin Dreadnought has withstood the tests of time and survived endlessly evolving musical tastes. The character of American music owes much to the Dreadnought.

    As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Martin Dreadnought (1916-2016), we want all Martin players to know that every time you take your guitar out and strum a sound that tickles your throat and fills your heart where the stuff of life is stirring, we made you – we gave you – this.

    This year, Adweek’s Women Trailblazers issue celebrates women in media, tech and advertising who are taking equality to the next level by pulling up seats for women and other underrepresented communities. They are the women who are walking the walk, beyond corporate pledges, DEI buzzwords and revenue goals, and using their unique positions and experience to empower those who don’t always have the loudest voices in the room. Their expertise ranges from gaming and entertainment to tech and beyond, and they’re providing opportunities and furthering the success of the communities their work serves. Whether its international icon Michelle Yeoh, who only takes on roles she believes in and, in the process, spotlights powerful women audiences can relate to, or agency leaders like Periscope president Cari Bucci-Hulings, who always leads with empathy but doubled down when her employees needed it most and hired a full-time, dedicated therapist for them, we celebrate women supporting women—and beyond.

The year began with BBH New York finalizing its leadership team, which included appointing Chief Strategy Officer Tom Callard, who is now with Blackstone; Chief Creative Officer Rafael Rizuto; and Amani Duncan as president. In July the trio was tasked with leading the newly formed BBH USA, which combined the New York and Los Angeles teams under one entity. In just one year the agency went from having two client accounts to 11 by adding LinkedIn, Google Shopping, Beachbody, Netflix, Mattel Barbie and others, according to Duncan, who was recently named CEO of the agency.

    BBH USA’S AMANI DUNCAN HELPED TRANSFORM THE AGENCY WITH NEW ACCOUNT WINS AND STANDOUT CREATIVE

    Amani Duncan, CEO of BBH USA—the combined entity of the agency's Los Angeles and New York offices—first joined what was then BBH New York as president in late 2020.

    Two weeks into the job, she reached out to a contact at Google with an idea that eventually became the first iteration of Google’s Black-Owned Friday campaign, focused on highlighting Black-owned businesses on Black Friday. The campaign was quickly followed by the agency’s “Glass Ceiling Breaker” work that depicted Vice President Kamala Harris in a glass portrait in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The rest is history, Duncan said.

    “Once those two projects hit the ground for the world to see, that changed everything for us,” Duncan said. “That literally changed our course of direction. Because all roads lead to the work, to quote John Hegarty [founder of BBH], and the work brought more and more work. The phone started ringing, and we ended the year beyond, I think, everyone's expectations.”

    In one year, the agency went from two to 11 client accounts by winning business with brands including LinkedIn, Google Shopping, Beachbody, Netflix and Mattel Barbie, for which it created the "A Doll Can Change the World" campaign.

    As a result of these wins, the Publicis Groupe shop saw double-digit revenue growth.

    The agency’s remit with Google continued to grow as the brand brought back its Black-owned Friday campaign. BBH also launched a campaign for Google that included shoppable wall murals painted by local artists that bring people to small business websites when scanned on a phone.

    BBH also added 50 new hires, growing its staff by 70% in a single year, going from a majority white male agency to being 40% racially diverse and 65% diverse in gender with a creative department that is 54% female, Duncan said.
