RELEVANT QUOTES:

“I don’t think there’s such a thing as a low engagement category. If we are asking people to hand over their hard-earned cash, uh, in exchange for a product or service, then it’s simply not that engagement. You know, it’s, it’s something that we, we as brand owners have to respect. I think we’ve got to deliver solutions that, um, that can engage with people all the way through their journey.”

“The purpose has to sit at the heart of the engagement between the brand and that that end user because if it doesn’t have a reason to exist why would I buy it? Why would I engage with it? I have hundreds of choices plus I can choose to find my own making a solution myself necessarily.”

“Everyone is managing their own individual brand platforms.”

“I think that demonstrating your empathy with the person that’s trying to solve a problem can come in 70 different ways. And that’s what tends to generate those little moments of gratification, because that person feels that you actually care as a brand. You prepare to take action based on that.”

“The constant changing is always massively and refreshing. And I think anyone in any creative industry probably feels that same constant refresh of the challenge, which is brilliant. I would have to say that the work I do now is by far the most rewarding.”
