Podcast host Ty James Largo has the job that everyone wants . . . or so they think. As a young-ish, marketing agency owner and a real life, working creative director, he’s seen it all, heard it all, and now, he’s ready to tell it all. Seriously Now (SRSLY NOW) shares the triumphs and horror stories (and lessons) of agency life, and what it takes to bring great ideas to life –– or watch them die in the presentation room. Laugh, commiserate, cheer and yes, even learn a trade secret or two.

How do I name a product or business?

Is writers block a common problem for others, like it is for me?

How can I tap into the creative part of my brain just like a marketing pro does?

Should I be scared of my competitors or rivals?

I need to come up with big ideas, but where do I start?

These are common questions we hear from a wide variety of clients and industry friends. With takeaway tips applicable to all lifestyles and careers, this is a show for all adult audiences, not just business owners, in-house marketers, entrepreneurs, startups and other seasoned agency pros.

Tune in and explore the mysteries and romance of the creative process, and also learn how to better influence people and their decisions, using extremely unconventional ways –– because that’s pretty much what this advertising and marketing industry is all about.

In addition to the podcast episodes (filmed on-site during the agency workday), be on the lookout for in-person workshops, instructional videos, webinars, speaking tours, contributing articles to various publications and downloadable DIY guides, plus cheat sheets too.

Seriously Now was founded in 2019 by Ty James Largo, whose creative marketing agency, Awe Collective is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, and serves clients across the U.S.
