Break The Tiranny Of Big
Big problems don’t need big solutions. They need long lasting ideas build of small ideas. These small ideas are made of small actions that change people’s behavior and make a brand feel personal. To succeed in these actions you have to be humble, empathetic and interested in people’s lives.
