The Spark: Ashley Johnson on Impulsive Adventures, Inner Critics and the Joy of Not Knowing
Description
In this episode of The Spark, Katy welcomes back Ashley Johnson, Head of Brand Narrative at Pentagram in London, for a playful, after-hours chat that reveals a more mischievous side to the celebrated writer and strategist.
After their in-depth Creative Boom interview, this follow-up is all about quick-fire questions, impulsive stories and surprising confessions that shine a light on the person behind the craft.
Ashley reflects on the moments that keep her on her toes, shares a travel tale that takes an unexpected turn, and drops a few wonderfully awkward nuggets from her younger years. There are laughs, a touch of vulnerability, and plenty of sharp insights about creativity, communication and the quiet power of words. It's warm, witty and just a little unpredictable—the perfect companion piece to her main interview, and a reminder that the best sparks come when you loosen the rules and let the conversation roam
