The AdCast Podcast 71 - "See Beyond Someone's Resume" with David Bates of Bokeh

Going Forward

David Bates is the founder, CEO, and Creative Director at Bokeh, a global integrated creative agency built to craft brand stories that drive connections and bridge the gap between traditional and digital media. David started Bokeh as a side-hustle when he was 22 years old and working for Google as a video producer, not too long after Bokeh’s inception, David left google to pursue Bokeh full-time. What started as a few guys making wedding videos has turned into a widely successful, nationally recognized creative agency. Aimed at developing compelling content for every storytelling platform, Bokeh specializes in providing cinematic marketing, branding strategy, and creative design to both startups and commercial enterprises. Bokeh has provided their services to some of the most exceptional teams and industry giants in the world; working with companies like Apple, Google, Spotify, Airbnb, Instagram, Facebook, Coinbase, and Bumble- just to name a few.

In this episode of The AdCast Podcast, David and I discuss the true spirit of Diversity and Inclusion, how to make universally good creative, seeing beyond someone's resume/experience and looking towards their potential, the marketing benefits of having connections across the world, color vs culture, approaching clients in a non-threatening way, and much more!
