Dust off your compass and prepare for adventure. Las Vegas has never felt so nautical.
Episode 2 of Ocean's 18, Season 3 spotlights Till Diestel, Managing Director/Chief Creative Officer at Serviceplan Germany, who was the 2024 LIA Jury President for Ambient & Activation | Billboard | Poster | Print.
In Nobili's words, "My seven questions dock at the harbor of Till, finding clear answers and the crystalline view of a creative turned Managing Director, who still believes that working in advertising is the best job in the world. Hailing from Hamburg, the Chief Creative Officer of Serviceplan sees the highest level of craft encapsulated in the pages of a print ad. For him, old school never stopped being new school."
From the words of your host, Simone Nobili, "this year marked filming the third season of the Ocean Series at London International Awards in Vegas. The heist into the minds of the LIA Jury Presidents is a spin-off of Transatlantic, a video podcast with a lot of water in it— though, ironically, we’re in the middle of the desert. I’ve come to believe that if you look carefully, you’ll find holes all around Vegas where I’ve dropped the anchors of my questions. When LIA first asked me to bring Transatlantic to the event, I gave my “yes” through the words of Nicholas Pileggi, the writer of Casino. I’ve been a fan of LIA for years and have always felt that Vegas is the perfect location for such an award. In the circuit of award shows, LIA is truly the last standing festival solely dedicated to creativity. If it had a face, it would be that of Keith Richards—the last bulwark of rock. This is where I anchor my Transatlantic and gush out the blue rivers of The Seven Seas Interview, a format I created where each question is shaped by art, poetry, music, literature, and life. Because, in the end, there’s nothing more fascinating than a piece of the human soul in the middle of the desert. It’s everything in the middle of nothing."
