"The best partnerships aren't built overnight. Sometimes the real magic happens in version two or three."

That's one of my favorite takeaways from my awesome conversation with Mike Kitts for episode #3 of FaceTime 5! We had a blast. 

After 13+ years with the Golden State Warriors, Mike recently joined Elevate as President of Global Sales & Solutions. 

We talked about:
→ What made Elevate an opportunity he couldn't pass up
→ What teams really need from their agency partners
→ Why the best partnerships evolve over time
→ And why coming up with a truly original idea might actually be harder than executing it

Big thanks to Jess Smith for nominating Mike and keeping the FaceTime chain going!

And we're headed to the brand side next. Mike nominated Kamal Bhandal from invisalign/ Align Technology. So Kamal - i'll be giving you a call soon!
