James Killoran - The Mission Control

The Radical Global Marketing Podcast

James Killoran is the Head of Strategy at The Mission Control, an international, award-winning creative agency that is producing brilliant work for the global life science and healthcare sectors.

Headquartered in Northern Ireland, The Mission Control specializes in brand development and communication that engages with people, moving away from the “hard sales pitch” and demonstrating an understanding of the problems people have and being able to answer the hard questions. In simple terms, prioritizing the conversation over the sale, and building relationships.

In this episode:

James talks about his career journey as a creative marketer and we spent some time discussing how growing up in Northern Ireland, before moving to London and then the US has shaped both himself as a creative and his career in marketing.

He talks about the challenges and opportunities that come from focusing on the healthcare and life science sector, often breaking new ground for products that are new and unique developments.

James shares his passion for creativity and how the vision and values that have shaped The Mission Control are all part of the strategy to drive his agency forward.

We talk about some of the latest innovations in marketing technology, but James stresses the need for the human element to continue to be a central pillar of marketing creative.
