Point of view
Attention is only valuable when it creates momentum.
Senior from day one.
Strategy is set by the people accountable for the work—not handed off after the pitch.
Media is a growth lever.
Earned, owned, and paid attention work together and answer to commercial outcomes.
Culture comes before campaign.
Audience understanding earns relevance before budget is asked to scale it.
