Julia Sheehan, Melbourne GM and James Walker Smith, Sydney GM, sat down with Mumbrella to discuss the 88-year-old history of Leo Burnett and how they are continuing to evolve the agency's HumanKind philosophy, why it's a place people come to stay, and how the pursuit of creative excellence is firmly grounded in delivering great business results for clients.
