Designsensory Originals — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 12:00:00 -0400

Season One has come to a close, and now is the time to revisit an episode that we recorded right before the outbreak of COVID-19. Confession time... we didn't know where to place Kate's episode in our schedule once the pandemic began. It felt too normal. So, we kept it in the vault for a few months, but now we are ready to release Kate Wolff onto the world.

AS CEO of Lupine Creative and Co-Chairman at DO the WeRQ, Kate has partnered with BIG brands. We're talking names like HBO, LG, Google, and Pokemon Go. From the beginning of the interview to the very end, Kate drops knowledge and truth bombs about the current state of advertising and what the industry will look like in the future.

Dale Mackey is one part creative, one part chef, with a large helping of entrepreneur. As the brains and skills behind Dale's Fried Pies, she's been featured by everyone from Martha Stewart and Huffpost to Garden & Gun, and as co-founder of the Central Collective, an eclectic, creative event space in downtown Knoxville - she's found her passion for bringing people together.

Chris and Dale dig into what it means to balance creativity with business sense - and how she is working hard to maintain the community spirit of the Central Collective during the pandemic. Also, as it turns out - folks are hungry for pies and she's been shipping them all over the United States. Customers love the classic fruit pies, but Mackey loves her weirder flavors like chili mango with cardamom cream cheese.

We’re excited to share our conversation with Tennessee Tourism Commissioner (and former “milkman”) Mark Ezell, a man on a mission to bring the beauty and values of Tennessee to life for people in our own backyard, and all across the world. This is a man who believes in the power of Tennessee, and the power of experiences all across the state. From the big cities to the most rural counties, we’ve got beauty, talent in spades, and a willingness to roll up our sleeves to show the world what we’re about.

Mark's bio, courtesy of TN.gov:
Mark Ezell, a seventh generation Tennessean, will serve as the Commissioner of the Department of Tourist Development. Ezell has worked with Dean Foods since 1998 as a senior executive focused on brand development for Purity Dairies and other southeast dairies. Ezell spearheaded philanthropic efforts to create the Purity Foundation and other Middle Tennessee efforts like the successful Moosic City Dairy Dash. He is a nationally recognized brand developer who coordinated the creation and implementation of the iconic “Milk Mustache – Got Milk?” campaign. His 35 years at Purity Dairies, including time as President and General Manager, helped the former family-owned company receive recognition as a “Brands That Built Nashville” winner from the Nashville American Advertising Federation.
