Quotes
Demand efficiency as a definition, is the evaluation of all of the different micro surfaces and growth levers throughout the buyers journey and how they all stack up together.
Build a brand that’s extensible, you can still have fresh ads that are being changed up as long as the underlying brand foundations were created in a way that allow for creativity and experimentation.
When you combine curiosity, grit, and drive together, it doesn’t matter what they know and what they don’t know. Because they’re going to figure it out and try.
