We brought in three industry heavyweights Kenny Gravillis, Dawn Baillie, and Noël Claro to discuss a collaboration between Netflix and Otis College of Art and Design. ACCESS was launched to help historically underrepresented students unlock their "peak potential and shape the future of entertainment marketing." We also explore Noël, Kenny and Dawn's respective careers and views on the industry, underlining the value of education and practical experience. We also candidly address some of the challenges many have faced, how we've muddled our way through and how folks can come together to overcome obstacles. And of course we geek out on influential posters and campaigns, highlighting the ones for 'Barry', the 1979 'Alien' movie, and 'All About Eve' from 1950. Ultimately, Dawn, Kenny and Noël provide advice to aspiring marketers, focusing on the importance of meaningful relationships, persistent research, and inspiration.
