I shared a few thoughts in a LinkedIn blog post about a few things I've been brooding over in the last couple of weeks. In my recent production for PUMA, I worked with an amazing team I didn't regret liaising with. Though everyone seemed to be fascinated by the final commercial, I was a lot more intrigued about the process. Here are 3 things I learned.
