  • Who Killed Creativity? A true crime investigation

    Who Killed Creativity? A true crime investigation
    Sep 1 2026
    Who Killed Creativity? Something happened to advertising. It got bigger. Richer. More sophisticated. More measurable. More efficient. But did it get better? For the return of The Fuel Podcast, Keith Smith abandons the traditional business interview and turns investigator in a 48-minute documentary examining what happened to creativity in advertising, and who's responsible. Inspired by Steve Harrison's provocative book Adland's Progressive Gaze, Who Killed Creativity? assembles the witnesses, examines the evidence and lines up the suspects. Did advertising lose sight of its original purpose: selling? Did corporate short-termism and procurement turn creative ideas into commodities? Did HR professionalise the industry while inadvertently filtering out some of the unconventional talent that once made it extraordinary? Did purpose and virtue signalling replace persuasion? Did data make advertising smarter, or simply more cautious? And now, having spent decades pursuing efficiency, is the industry about to make its most consequential trade yet: human creativity for artificial intelligence? Featuring advertising legend Dave Trott, author and creative director Steve Harrison, psychologist Rachel Laws, BLUP founder and creative director Dines, former Saatchi & Saatchi and GGT advertising executive Simon Derungs, and Paul Grubb. This isn't a nostalgia trip. And it isn't an argument for returning advertising to some imaginary golden age. It's an investigation into how an industry built on extraordinary ideas became increasingly concerned with process, measurement and efficiency, and whether the pursuit of all three has become a Pyrrhic victory. Because perhaps there isn't one murderer in this story. Perhaps this is Murder on the Orient Express. Maybe we all had a hand on the knife. The Fuel Podcast: Who Killed Creativity?

    James Sherwood-Rogers - Don't Panic! It's AI
    Jul 12 2026
    Seasoned ex-advertising executive, company founder, investor, entrepreneur, business coach and executive mentor James Sherwood-Rogers hilariously discusses how he’s managed to leverage a career of big advertising agency leadership experience and practical business acumen into a highly successful career, helping big companies and their CEOs stay fit for purpose. He’s a massive Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fan, so this did take up a lot of the conversation, but he explains that it is quite prophetic! On our journey through the galaxy, we discuss salt & vinegar crisp packaging, nostalgic TV shows of the 1970s, visions of the future, a report from the AI community, burnout, his new somatics consultancy and the tech ban paradox. James also reveals how nearly became Prime Minister of the UK, what famous ad celebrities he’s bumped into recently and explains what the Lime bike challenge is.

    Chris Miller: Only When I Laugh
    Jun 17 2026
    For our 200th episode we thought we’d celebrate in style with some fun, party games and laughter provided by our friend Chris Miller – the copywriter with his own strapline. Chris is the bloke who’s recently been lampooning the advertising industry and poking fun at its foibles using his hilarious cartoon-strips ‘Ye Olde Creative Shoppe’ and ‘The Dashed Creative Agency’ which have been met with raucous approval from the advertising industry’s elite. In this show, we discuss Chris’ path to stardom, his advertising career arc, what inspires him and how we’re going to survive the AI apocalypse, which should be arriving in the next 6 months or so. Show notes Chris’ LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrccmiller/ Chris’ brilliant web site and portfolio: https://www.ccmiller.cc/ Learn more about your ad choices.
