Brent Couchman
How to create great work for clients like Facebook
In Episode #40, Ross sits down with Brent Couchman, Creative Director, and founder at Moniker.
Brent and his team at Moniker focus on connecting future-thinking brands to today’s challenges and communities. Their clients include Coinbase, Oculus, Coca-Cola, Google, and Facebook, among others.
Ross and Brent discuss how relationships can be the key to producing great work, why you don’t need a polished brand, and how to work with big clients when you’re a small agency.
