Everything is Bigger in Texas! Check out the”Born in Texas” Video Podcast Recorded at TRG

Written by TRG

Iconic campaigns such as Don’t Mess with Texas, Southwest Airlines, Home Depot, Chick-fil-A, Dr Pepper, and FIAT’s branding rebirth took center stage at the Live from Dallas: Ideas Born in Texas podcast event, hosted by Fergus O’Carroll. Presented by TRG, the live recording offered more than entertainment, it provided a thoughtful look at the creative drive behind some of the most enduring and recognizable campaigns in modern advertising.

The event drew a full crowd and featured a panel of four industry leaders who shared insights and behind-the-scenes stories: Terrence Reynolds, Chief Creative Officer at TRG; Kate Rush Sheehy, Chief Strategy Officer at GSD&M; Derek Dabrowski, SVP and Head of Cold Brand Marketing at Keurig Dr Pepper; and Christopher Owens, Head of Brand Strategy at TRG.

All of these campaigns were born in Texas, where it became increasingly clear that the state’s distinctive attitude provides fertile ground for bold ideas and unrestrained creativity. The discussion underscored how Texas continues to shape the national advertising landscape, a place where originality thrives.

About the author

TRG

TRG has a five-decade winning streak of building iconic brands. Chick-fil-A. Ram. Motel 6. Schwab. The Home Depot. Orkin. Wonder Bread. Jeep. Our greatest successes are tied to some of America’s greatest stories – stories we’ve told.

Fiercely independent since our founding, we’ve built a culture that believes great work starts with paying the most attention. To the brand. To the customers. To the competition, the culture around us, and especially to one another. That attention is what fuels our ideas, our relationships, and our results.

We consider ourselves more than marketers – we’re in the memory-making business. More than activations and ads, more than media impressions, TRG creates long-lasting memories in customers’ minds. We’ve learned that this is the currency that moves markets overnight and over time. So we harness the power of emotion, paired with evidence-based principles, to write the stories that stick.
