If you're in Cannes next week, come hear Kraft Heinz own Diana Frost share her thoughts on how Heinz sparks consumer obsession by tapping into its unique irrational truth. I love this work and creative platform the team has created. Talk is Thursday, 16:15 at the Rotonde Stage. Not one to be missed. Hope to see you there. #Cannes #Creativity #TheOnlyKetchupYoullEverNeedInYourLife

🚨 🚨 🚨 GIG ALERT: awesome opportunity on a super fun brand and team. Based in Chicago.

When you’re in the middle of the work, grinding everyday, building the future while optimizing the present, you can’t lose sight of the goal. This week, Kraft Heinz Commercial Conference was family time for the company. Love this moment to stop, reflect, and spend meaningful time with the people you work with, focusing on the future. We’ve accomplished a lot but the works not done. PS.. Erik Weihenmayer was one of the most inspirational speakers I’ve been fortunate enough to hear live. Grateful to Kraft Heinz for bringing a speaker that challenges you not just as an employee but as a human.

It’s national awareness week for MS and I wanted to share my personal experience. I started at Kraft Heinz 18 months ago. An exciting next chapter in my career. Almost 6 weeks into my new role, I was diagnosed with MS. Reconciling this diagnosis, physical therapy, the healthcare system and trying to land specialist appointments while traveling multiple times a month was pretty brutal. My wife, friends and my new family at KraftHeinz that I confided in were incredibly supportive and lifted me up. For me it started as what seemed like a pinched nerve, which led to me no longer being able to shoot a basketball which led to a few mris then a spinal tap. Multiple Sclerosis is treatable but not curable. Everybody’s body and experience is different. For me, it manifests itself in muscle soreness, neck and back pain and being tired. Treatments have advanced significantly and I have a plan in place that is aimed at preventing the disease from progressing. What has worked for me most is investing in my body — stretching, exercising, movement. I also now carry around a pillbox like my grandparents filled with my medication and vitamins I have been recommended to take daily. Stress is also a trigger for me as it is for everyone. Stress management has been critical for me and do this by ensuring I can be at my kids events, I seek harmony and partnership at work and assume positive intent. I try not to let thoughts manifest too long, I seek to address them and move on. It’s been a real learning experience for me — humbling, enlightening and strangely it’s been motivating. I rehabbed with PT for about 9 months and started playing basketball again in July. Something I never thought I’d be able to do again. I was actually blessed to share a court with my son Max in December. He killed all us old dudes for the record. So many people have let me know they know somebody with MS. It was helpful for me to connect with those people and hear what worked for them, what to expect, how to ask doctors the right questions. That made me compelled to share here in the event I can pass that forward. Everyone’s challenges are different and I feel blessed and fortunate that mine are under control. This is a public shoutout to many of my friends and partners that were patient and supportive when I wasn’t at my best while I was navigating pain, uncertainty, lack of sleep and quite frankly, fear. Every experience you can learn from and I feel stronger and more focused now than I ever have before — lifted up by family, friends, colleagues and being able to do work that I love. I don’t live with MS. MS lives with me. Word. #MSawareness #gratitude #thankyou #livewithintention

👏 👏 👏 Media is at its best when choices are driven by consumer insight, it is delivering messaging and stories that creatively ignite curiosity and interest in products and brands and when the plans have no dead ends. Digital experience is critical and love being able to partner with Justin Thomas the Kraft Heinz DX team and all our marketing partners to continue to evolve our digital brand experiences and the integration of Martech and adtech in meaningful ways. #ux #media #kraftheinz #digitalexperience #martech #design #partners
