Guy Utley from Tall Agency shares his journey from recognising his creative talents at school to founding a digital agency working with global brands like Lego and Shark Ninja, focusing on the critical importance of specialisation in marketing.
• The value of using specialists rather than generalists - "I wouldn't use a painter to fix my roof"
• How Google's algorithm now prioritises human-first content over AI-generated material
• Understanding your customers deeply leads to product innovation, as demonstrated by Shark Ninja's vacuum research
• The infamous "drunken pitch" story and what it taught Guy about authentic presentations
• Why the traditional pitching process is broken and how paid pitches could create better agency-client relationships
• The importance of flexibility in marketing budgets to adapt to rapidly changing digital landscapes
• How imposter syndrome can actually indicate you're pushing yourself in the right direction
