Working notes

A short list of the things we keep insisting on across engagements.

— Notes

Real margin math first

No paid-media plan goes live until we agree on the contribution margin we're working toward. It changes the brief.

— Notes

One language at a time, when needed

We translate carefully. A bilingual brand is not a translated brand; sometimes a campaign is best in one language and silent in the other.

Operators in the room

The hospitality work always has the line-level operator at the table. Brand decisions have to survive a Friday night at the pass.
