Highlights from the conversation
- The concept is the most important thing, because that's really what paints a picture in people's heads
- We're always asking how can we exaggerate that idea? How can we make it really, really clear with every element?
- If you filter yourself, you run the risk of blending in with everyone else
- If you can use storytelling to bring those ideas to life in people's minds, then you don't need to convince them because they'll inherently understand it
- We look for people who are ambitious and naturally want to create brave work. We also, um, create an environment where it's okay to put your neck out and try different things
- Really being a cheerleader – giving people that boost and telling them that their work is really good

One More Question is a podcast by Nicework, a purpose-driven company helping people who want to make a dent in the world by building brands people give a shit about.
One of the things we do best is to ask our clients the right questions. This podcast came about because we want to share some of the best answers we have heard over the last 13 years. We talk to significant creators, experts and communicators we encounter and share useful insights, inspiration, and facts that make us stop and take note as we go about our work.
