Brands should do more than exist; they should matter.
In this podcast, I’ve sat down with visionary founders like Bruce Mau, Chris Do, Micheal Beirut and a host of others who know exactly what it takes to make people connect with a product, service, or company on a deeper level.

One More Question is a podcast lovingly created by the people of Nicework, a branding studio based in South Africa that serves a range of clients across the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
The world doesn’t need more lazy, boring, half-arsed, poorly-built brands. In this podcast, we explore what it takes to build a great one. We interview founders who have built multi-billion dollar brands and experts who know how to get people to connect with their products, services, and companies. If you’re looking for insight into the best ways to invest in and build your brand, this may well be the podcast for you.
Our past guests include Bruce Mau, Chris Do, Aaron Draplin, Marina Willer, Michael Bierut and Fredrick Öst.
One More Question is hosted by our founder, Ross Drakes.

In Episode #85, Ross is joined by Paul Worthington, President of Invencion
Paul has been in the branding business for over twenty years, led major branding programs across 4 continents, lived in two, had his words published by the likes of Fast Company, and won multiple awards along the way.
Previously head of strategy and client principal at renowned branding consultancy Wolff Olins, he now runs his own little-known strategic branding firm, Invencion, because his family matters more to him than long plane-rides.
Ross and Paul discuss how oversimplifying your audience will bore and repel them, how bravery is a prerequisite for growth and impact and how critical it is that the decision-makers understand branding and marketing when selecting and resourcing these functions.
