And then continued with some of the most life-changing career advice we’d ever been given.

It was a balmy day, and about thirty degrees when Max Learmont and I (Vince Usher) entered the Beresford pub to record episode three of our new strategy and creative podcast ‘Son of a pitch’.

Instantly Adam’s eyes lit up, and the advice started to flow.

Just a taste of what you can expect from the podcast series recorded to glean insights from the world’s best strategists and creatives.

But, the fun doesn’t stop there…

(A minds-eye view) In of each guest’s unique way of thinking through problems and creative solutions is revealed through a problematic brief. Some, surprisingly taken on the fly…

Which is of course, free.

Get acquainted with our three flagship episodes available TODAY, and released weekly on Itunes, Spotify, and Stitcher.
