00:00 – 00:32 “Getting an understanding of how does the group of people who buy our product or service, getting an understanding of how they behave when they’re not in your ecosystem is like where marketing is going. Because like there’s only 24 hours in a day and there’s only so much like we only have two eyeballs and there’s only so much time. It’s becoming more and more competitive to earn someone’s attention. And so our kind of whole whole hypothesis is that by looking externally at the stuff that’s going on around your brand, that’s how you can get an edge. edge over other brands who aren’t looking at that.” — Charlie Grinnell
