Linda Boff, David Lubars and Rishad Tobaccowala | The Advertising Hall of Fame Class of 2025 Inductees
About this episode
This week, we are celebrating the Class of 2025 inductees into the Advertising Hall of Fame, as Jim welcomes three of this year's honorees for a roundtable discussion. Recorded live the morning after "The Biggest Night in Advertising"—the American Advertising Federation’s annual Hall of Fame induction and celebration—the conversation highlights a few individuals each year who have made an indelible impact on the advertising and marketing industry, as well as exceptional philanthropic contributions. Since the Hall of Fame’s inception in 1948, only 296 people have been inducted.
Joining Jim are:
- David Lubars, the recently retired Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of BBDO. David has won an astonishing 600 Cannes Lions and is the only creative head ever to win Network of the Year at Cannes for seven consecutive years.
- Linda Boff, the former long-standing Chief Marketing Officer of GE, who, among many other achievements, helped guide the company through its split into three separate public entities.
- Rishad Tobaccowala, who served in a variety of roles at Publicis Groupe over a 40-year career. Rishad is impossible to put in a box—he is an innovator, a pioneer, a mentor, a teacher, and an advisor. His weekly thought letter, The Future Does Not Fit into the Containers of the Past, is read by 30,000 people.
Tune in for a funny, warm, reflective, and poignant conversation with three people who have just experienced one of the most special evenings of their lives.
