Jenny HaGUEST

Ed HackneyGUEST
that's also okay it's like where should you use these levers like the dsp has a better geo-targeting layer than sometimes we have so like They need to be, when they, we can take a lot of briefs where they're like, okay, I want to narrow it down to this perfect instance of people using all of these parameters.

Ed HackneyGUEST
But actually, you might be better starting wider with us and then using the geo within the platform.

Ed HackneyGUEST
Or you might be better having that here and then like unleashing it within the platform.

I remember stealing like old, like the VHS camcorder and sellotaping it to my bikes and trying to make videos and stuff before you even had a computer to edit them on.

Ed HackneyGUEST
And my first kind of role in London was working at a agency that had about like seven or eight radio stations.
