This week, we’re joined by award-winning copywriter and creative writer, Tom Elia, who graces us with his sonorous rendition of Peyton Manning’s “Chicken Parm, you taste so good.” It’s a campaign Tom created with his partner for Nationwide Insurance. Tom also gives us a tip on getting out of writer’s block and ruts with oblique strategies.
