Every creative project with a business objective has one thing in common whether it’s a marketing initiative; an innovative product feature; or a brand narrative designed to build a deeper connection with customers or your team. That one thing is their requirement for an intentional use of your marketing resources.
 
In our first conversation, Garrio Harrison will be discussing the importance of strategic planning with our guest Kurt Schmidt, President of Foundry and host of the “Schmidt List” podcast.
