For twenty years it was Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Universal Sony and Vodafone. You learn how digital works at a scale where the decisions are big and the mistakes are expensive, and you come out able to look at a business and see the whole system at once: how the sides connect, which one to start on, what'll move it and what only looks like it will.
What I wanted, in the end, was to put that eye somewhere it counts. The honest version is that I was made redundant more than once. I kept going back to the corporate world and it kept letting me go, until I stopped taking it as rejection and started taking it as direction. The roles that kept ending were never meant to be mine. So I built something that is: the same calibre of thinking those big brands paid for, pointed at founders building something of their own, from South West WA.
