Scott English: No BS — How an agency of two helped RXBar sell for $600m

One More Question

Highlights from the conversation:

David Ogilvy had lamented that if advertising agencies were a dairy farm, you had more milkers than you had cows.

We were removed from the people who were most invested in the brands that we served

I was shocked at how great the product was and equally sad about how poorly it was being presented

So even they themselves didn't come in to make shit up. They just defined what was already there, and focused on it

In a completely transparent electronic world where everybody's first step is to Google you, you'd better be telling the truth

But now brand has to be personality, it has to be what's your beliefs? What are your principles? What are your values? What's your stance on sustainability? All those come into play.
