Quotes

The Evolution feature was "like an atom bomb," it is "the most seen branded viral video ever." 

Evolution was a web only feature and it "delivered an ROI better than what we would have had during the Superbowl." 

"Advertising, when it works, is all about understanding your audience."

"Lack of faith is why marketers aren't running to spend huge amounts of money on the web yet." 

"There is not many people hitting the sweet spot between digital and traditional marketing, but the ones who do are so cool I almost can't stand it."
