Q&A
What is the question you like to ask yourself before embarking on a new project?
To get myself totally motivated, I ask myself how I can help create a brand strategy or innovation that will solve a real consumer problem and in some way make people’s lives better, while also serving to make money for my client, maybe even getting them promoted from the success of our work together.
