Shownotes

Today’s guest is Josh Campo, CEO of Huge. And if you think your to-do list is long, you might need to reconsider.

On top of the wider market disruption, Josh is overseeing all manner of change – still fresh from exiting IPG, Huge is navigating PE-ownership, integrating with Hero Digital and continuing its productisation journey.

On the integration with Hero, he explains why successful integration requires a complete rebirth of culture, not just simply blending two organisations together.

Pragmatic, candid and optimistic throughout, Josh also explores Huge’s much discussed productisation journey, the decline of time-based pricing, and why agencies must move beyond selling “done” and focus instead on outcomes, speed and commercial value.
