Video: Adman Nigel Marsh on his new book and possible US TV career
Former Y&R Brands CEO Nigel Marsh is pursuing a possible US television career with the former head writer of Friends working on a script based on his book, and a separate opportunity which would see him fronting a reality show.
Marsh found his career heading in a new direction after he wrote Fat, Forty and Fired about his experiences of finding himself out of work. And his business speaking career took off after giving a talk ad TEDx Sydney about work-life balance shortly before he left Y&R following a turbulent two year period at the helm.
In a video interview with Mumbrella editor Tim Burrowes to coincide with the launch of a new book, Marsh said that the TV projects – both at a very early stage – were among the options open to him:
nice post, thanks. The AIEF thing at the end seems like a very worthy cause, good plug Nigel.
Go, Nigel.
Top bloke, wish him well.
Nice guy! Good take on how soul-destroying some business cultures are. Glad to see that he’s now getting joy from his skill set. All the best!
Great interview and awesome guy. Had the pleasure of working with him for a couple of years and wish him the very best!
one of the good guys of the business – he will be successful in whatever he chooses to do.
I’m sure the book will be a great read
What a laugh of a guy. Did a bit of time at an agency he headed up. A good time and good learning experience.
I think his ‘left’ hand turn on his journey of life , provides a nice inspiration for life after advertising. Let’s all be honest…….. we will all have one. Just look around how many plus 45 year olds are sitting around you…… Start planning folks it will happen and as someone fast approaching 45 time does fly by.
Nigel is one of the best I’ve worked with in over 30 years and I’ve heard of the great work of AIEF as well they are a top notch outfit. good on you nigel I look forward to seeing those 7000 Indigenous kids shine
