Episode: "I Don't Know Who I Am" - When An Advertising Career Loses Itself - Philip Slade
Description: What happens when a creative career leads to a self-destructive life?
Philip Slade went from Mac Operator at famed music magazine Smash Hits to art director at Saatchi & Saatchi then to creative director and planning director roles and, eventually, to managing partner of Crispin Porter + Bogusky London.
