Creatives on Speed is where Faster Ideas editor and founder Joanne Oatts talks to creative thinkers, makers and doers from all walks of life - about creativity and how they use it in their work.

This week: Jed Hallam, advertising planner and founder of music and culture project Love Will Save the Day, and ad industry initiative Common People.

We talk about:

• The origins of planning and what planners actually do
• Jed's career journey and initial impressions of the industry
• Early inspirations, and the New York and London clubs that influenced him
• Creating spaces where people can share their passion for music, and how that took him from DJing and events to creating Love Will Save The Day
• Developing opportunities for people from working class backgrounds to break into the industry through his industry initiative Common People
• Jed's favourite creative trick to kick start the brain
