The emPOWER Breakfast Podcast with Rosie Arnold Is Out

In this episode, host Athene Parker sits down with the legendary Rosie Arnold, a creative force in the advertising industry and one of the few women to have held a senior role in a major creative department. Rosie began her career at BBH in the early ‘80s and went on to shape some of the industry’s most iconic work across multiple decades, later becoming creative partner and head of art at AMV BBDO. Today, she’s a creative consultant, mentor, and artist, splitting her time between London and Cornwall.

From the dizzying heights of industry acclaim to the quiet devastation of personal loss, Rosie shares with profound honesty. We journey with her through the defining chapters of her life - from leading award-winning campaigns, to sitting at her husband’s bedside as he battled a rare form of leukaemia, to finding solace in art and nature.

This episode is a moving, profound, and inspiring listen - one that celebrates not just Rosie’s courage, but also reminds us to approach our work and our lives with heart, resilience, and unwavering authenticity.
