#27: Tabletop director Catherine Millais on working in a technical creative field, creative briefs, & self-advocacy

Director and Creative Producer Catherine Millais & I dig in to what ideal relationships with agencies & clients look like, brief preferences, negotiating raises, navigating in male-dominated spaces, and life in a creative pursuit. Catherine Millais is a director at Chuck Studios, a creative production studio that specializes in Tabletop Content, headquartered in Amsterdam. "Tabletop direction" means that Catherine has worked on a plethora of food commercials, including McDonalds, Pomidorka, Honig, and more. We get in to what it’s like being one of few women on set in a highly technical environment, imposter syndrome, working in a creative profession, and asking for raises. At one point I mention negotiation scripts, I’ve used Ramie Sethi’s (found here) if there are others you’ve tried, please do let me know!
