Kevin Frank - Creative Leader (ex-Apple, LinkedIn) and Author of Raising Creative Teams
Kevin Frank has spent three decades leading creative at some of the world’s most iconic brands, from launching global campaigns at Apple to redefining brand and culture at LinkedIn. Along the way, he’s earned recognition from Cannes, D&AD, and AdAge’s In-House Agency of the Year and Best Places to Work lists.
In this episode, Kevin opens up about the hard lessons of leadership, why relationships matter more than awards, and the moment at Apple that changed how he saw creative direction forever. We also talk about his new book, Raising Creative Teams, and why the best creative leaders are in the business of helping others shine.

This is Awaiting Approval. A podcast about the messy, human side of creative leadership.
Hosted by Adam Jennings - a creative director with three decades of experience leading teams for Apple, Microsoft, Paramount, LinkedIn and more - this show features honest, unscripted conversations with the leaders shaping design, storytelling, and innovation today.
These are the conversations you don’t hear in keynotes. The ones about imposter syndrome, trust, failure, confidence, and finding your voice as a leader.
Whether you’re just stepping into creative leadership or you’ve been at it for years, Awaiting Approval is your place to feel seen, challenged, and encouraged.
Awaiting Approval is a Cordial Fox production.
Hosted by Adam Jennings
