What the transcript puts on the table.

I think it's been three years that I've been associated with DMAs in different forms and different at different levels.
The most like why I feel so connected with DMA is firstly the process is extremely transparent.
I think the body of work that overall comes is very inspirational and every year I wait when does DMA comes so that I get to see what agencies and companies are doing and get inspired and take that inspiration and do something better of their own.
