Speaking to a CCO and first time interviewing as a team. Any tips, advice, or things we should prepare for?

Make sure they like you and your dynamic. If they’re talking to you, they already like your work. Your personalities and shared ambition are the final piece of the puzzle.

I would do research on the agency and the work they're doing. I would also do research on the CCO and see what work they've done, so you can bring that up as work you admire (even if you don't) and the style of work you want to be doing. Be yourselves and show that you have chemistry and get excited about the role and what you can bring to it. Ask what they're looking for in a team and what would make you successful. Good luck!

If I’m talking to you it means you’ve probably already passed the technical stuff/experience/work check. What I’m looking for is the vibe check, chemistry, personality, personal drive, passion for the work, communication skills.
When did we start normalizing 10+ person “brainstorm” calls where 90% of the people on the call aren’t creatives, and could we please stop?
Tbh, could we stop with 90% of the big group brainstorm calls altogether
Should I be playing coy when doing cold outreach? My ultimate goal is to get on someone's radar for a job. Seeing some stuff along the line of 'just ask to get coffee and feedback on your book' but wouldn't I want to be (tactfully) upfront?
