This week we are delighted to be joined by advertising legend, and theUp.co investor, Sir John Hegarty. He gives us a tour of his remarkable career in advertising, from getting involved in advertising as a result of a love for ideas right the way through to Levi's 501 campaign and introducing us to Audi's famous "vorsprung durch technik" phrase. He also talks about how advertising is a great world for those who want to understand the fundamentals of business and how to manage the creativity of individuals whilst balancing the success of their business. Charlie and Sir John delve into the power of having a brand vs just a business whilst also touching on what it takes to create a memorable brand. Sir John also lays out his investment strategy that he deploys at the Garage Soho, with a key focus on product because as we learn earlier in the episode, there is only so far marketing can take you... This episode really does have so many valuable lessons that can be applied to your work and personal life, enjoy!
