When Jason Mitchell realized his college professors were still teaching TV-first strategies while every student in the room was glued to Facebook, he saw an opportunity.

That opportunity was the beginning of Movement, a social-first agency that has done award-winning work for brands like the NBA, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more.

In this episode, Jason shares the early bets and strategic philosophies that have helped Movement grow from a dorm-room idea into one of the most recognized social-first agencies in the industry.

We explore what it means to put social at the center of a campaign rather than treat it as an add-on, and why the best ideas often begin with strategic social listening.

Some of my favorite aha moments from our conversation include:

  • How Jason found his way into the journalism and advertising program at University of Colorado despite having terrible grades
  • How social listening led to a viral campaign (and a real arrest) for Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries
  • Why Klarna’s biggest brand barrier in the U.S. wasn’t competition, but disbelief over their core value prop
  • Jason’s secrets for setting up a great social listening system
  • How Jason would rebrand the movie-going experience to help people rekindle their love of cinema in an era of social media
