— A taste —

Most marketing content covers strategy, brand, and copy because those are the parts that look interesting on a podcast. Almost nothing covers what happens after the brief is signed off, when the work actually has to be made by real people in real time, which is unfortunate because production is where most campaigns quietly succeed or quietly fail. A great brief shot badly is a worse outcome than a mediocre brief shot brilliantly, and the people who have learnt this lesson did so by paying for it on someone else's budget.
