About this episode

Adam Brown, Founder and President of Sircle Media, discusses how his team works with brands in traditional retail distribution. The conversation focuses on the relationship between social activity and a brand's sales performance, including the sales velocity retailers expect. Adam also distinguishes social interest from social media.

The hosts and Adam consider how creative work serves a brand's business, and the risk of focusing on the artwork without enough attention to its purpose. They discuss the potential value of a boutique agency with a narrow specialty. Category experience is another consideration when choosing an agency, alongside its understanding of the social networks themselves.
