Luke Woodhouse

In Episode #56, Ross is joined by Luke Woodhouse, Creative Director at Ragged Edge.

After working in branding agencies in London and Sydney, Luke landed at Ragged Edge and saw an opportunity to help build a team and an approach for people who care less about how things are, and more about how they could be. Whether at scale or scaling up, Ragged Edge works with businesses with the conviction to challenge the status quo.

Ross and Luke discuss how to build a brand on a single idea, using story to build your brand, and how to build creative confidence.

Highlights

The concept is the most important thing, because that's really what paints a picture in people's heads

We're always asking how can we exaggerate that idea? How can we make it really, really clear with every element?

If you filter yourself, you run the risk of blending in with everyone else

If you can use storytelling to bring those ideas to life in people's minds, then you don't need to convince them because they'll inherently understand it

We look for people who are ambitious and naturally want to create brave work. We also, um, create an environment where it's okay to put your neck out and try different things

Really being a cheerleader – giving people that boost and telling them that their work is really good
