Creators Block Podcast

What is the Creator's Block Podcast?

Stop us if you've heard this one before: A marketing strategist and a designer walk into a bar. (Sort of.)

Justine Timoteo and Marcella Jalbert, come together each week as hosts of the Creator's Block podcast with different perspectives, but a common goal.

They want to empower marketers and agency creatives -- designers, developers, content creators, and everyone in between -- with honest conversations about doing the work, big ideas, and agency life.

They stage interventions. They philosophize. They answer questions. They debate. They rant. They rave. 

So, settle in with your earbuds and a cup of coffee, and enjoy!
