RD Report
January has brought a reshuffling of larger brands. The key to the Blackdove and Foundation news and what I’m most interested to see, is how they go about making the platforms interoperable. The tall task of streamlining the end-to-end is the potential magic in it.
Have a watch of these NODE insights and interviews with:
Co-Founder Becky Kleiner
Director Phil Mohun
Technical Producer Loudsqueak
Today we will wrap up a truly milestone experience and carry that energy into tomorrow’s (Wednesday) The DAM Show! Stay tuned.
