Key Takeaways:
- There shouldn’t be a disconnect between the data analysis and branding – they are interconnected.
- There is no such thing as knowledge without creativity.
- Nothing replaces the human heart and human conversations.
- The job is not to ask questions; the job is to understand silence.
- If you torture data long and strong enough, you get a really good sense for what is oging on
