Okay, 2025 is four years from now. I think if you can measure success, if you can measure the work that you're doing, you're going to be just fine.

If you are putting work out there and then waiting for your client to tell you if it worked or not, I don't think you're going to do.

And then,

and do you.

And, do you

do and and and and and Welcome to the future podcast, a show that explores the interesting overlap between design, marketing, and business. I'm Greg Gunn.

Have you ever heard someone say that an idea has legs. What they're really saying is that it can

endure and stay relevant over time because that's what good ideas do. They stick

around. Our guest today is the CEO and co-founder of Acclaimed Ad Agency Mechanism.

Now, they do fantastic and progressive work for some of the best clients you can think of. Brands like Peloton, Jose Cuervo, and my

personal favorite, Ben and Jerry's. I could eat their brownie batter core all day, but I digress.

Now as a seasoned adman, our guest knows a good idea when he sees it, and he also knows how to present that idea to a client and be a true collaborator in the process. In this episode, our guest shares what he's learned from running an agency for more than 15 years.

He talks about the power of branding, building community, and why great storytelling is at the heart of his agency's success.

Now it's not often we get to speak with people in his position, so if you work at an agency

or aspire to start your own someday, then pay attention to this one.

Because to survive and thrive, it takes more than just putting out great work.

Please enjoy our conversation with Jason Harris.

Jason, I'm so glad to have you on the podcast and one of my reasons for having you on

is because I've not worked in advertising for a number of years now, so it's kind of nice to hear from somebody on the other side.

We're a service provider, a motion design production company for many years, and so it's neat to have you on the show and I think it's going to be great to hear your story about how you how you do what you do besides the different philosophies that you have.

So for people who don't know who you are,

Jason, can you introduce yourself?
