As the title of the podcast suggests, Savage and Sylvie can get pretty loud about a lot of things: starting and scaling companies, building amazing products, cold plunges. The content on the show really runs the gamut.
But this week, the thing they’re talking way too loud about is great ads. The ones that make us laugh, cry, and yes, even buy. So they sat down with Lia Khayami Quiñones, a Creative Director at Known Ad Agency, to get the lowdown on her creative process, explore the soup-to-nuts production on a specific campaign for Ubisoft’s iconic video game series, Just Dance, and learn what brands stand to gain by making edgier content.

Hiten Shah is talking too loud about today’s B2B products being, well… kinda bad. He didn’t mince words. According to Hiten, most products aren’t working as well as they should, or they’re failing their customers completely. Either way, it’s got Hiten fired up.

Rand Fishkin is cofounder and CEO of SparkToro, makers of fine audience research software. He’s dedicated his professional life to helping people do better marketing through his writing, videos, speaking, and his book, Lost and Founder. When Rand’s not working, he’s usually cooking a fancy meal for the love of his life, author Geraldine DeRuiter. If you bribe him with great pasta or fancy cocktails, he’ll pull back the curtain on big tech’s dark secrets.
These days, Rand’s talking too loud about being a creative director for his very first video game (which has some overlap with the software development world, but also feels more creatively fulfilling), and how the cost of real estate directly corresponds to homelessness.

In elementary school, Dillon’s first office was in his parents’ garage where he made miniature skateboards, which were the beginnings of him selling products internationally. In college at the University of Southern California, him and his co-founder, Jarett Chen, created a location-based messaging platform called Spop. They created UNUM to help solve their marketing and creative workflow for Spop because they couldn’t afford to hire a creative agency.

Fiz’s favorite movie is Coming to America, which has influenced the stories that she chooses to tell by including beautiful cinematography that’s filled with richness. Olajide didn’t go to traditional film school—she studied psychology in college and wanted to be a forensic psychologist because she loved true crime, which led to her stepping into the TV world where she started at a TV shopping channel.

In 2010, Jesse and his wife, professional runner Lauren Fleshman, co-founded Picky Bars from their hometown of Bend, Oregon. Previously, Chris interviewed Lauren as a guest on Brandwagon. Last year, Picky Bars eclipsed $4 million in revenue. What’s unique about their business is they’re 90% direct to consumer, which is a pretty big number on the direct to consumer side versus the vast majority of competitors. They contract manufacture all of their products to about four different facilities in the Pacific Northwest, and they have 10 employees fulfilling all of their shipments in-house out of Bend.
