Change the pace of your thinking.

In this episode I talk with Graham Robertson, author of the awesome book 'beloved brands' and over 20 years of experience at companies such as Coca-Cola, Johnson and Johnson, General Mills,… He knows his stuff. We talk about the rise of smaller brands, learning about your consumer, finding brand purpose, Mc-donalds, Nike and much more.

His amazing book ‘beloved brands’

The rise of small and mid-size brands or ‘craft' brands as Graham calls them

Nike’s recent campaign

How smaller agencies can play a new role in this world

Strategy is ‘thinking slow’. Execution is thinking fast
