One podcast, two Davids, and a deep dive into Dusted

David in conversation with David had all the hallmarks of a great interview. On a par with Frost, Oprah or Maitlis.

Or so our co-founder, David, told us after joining David Hoos from Spokane in Washington State, USA for an episode of the podcast Behind the Agency. They covered everything from Dusted’s early days as a fledgling design business to becoming the specialist strategic branding and digital agency we are today, working with some of the world’s most ambitious, innovative and game-changing businesses.

Dave (our Dave) shares his experience of growing a brand design agency – from saying yes to everything and why it worked (until it didn’t), on the hardest part of sales (and getting in the room), why specialising was so important, to how the good times (and hard yards) have shaped Dusted’s reputation over the last 20 years.

So, if you’re hungry for some extended Dusted lore (or just want to hear from someone who’s been in the game for 30 years), you can watch the episode here:
