In this special episode of the Dog ‘n’ Bone Podcast we interview controversial columnist and marketing consultant Mark Ritson on his views on agencies, tribalism in marketing and why ‘Fearless Girl’ should not be an award-winner. Mark also discusses his attitude to wealth, his love of sports cars and jam, and a disastrous meeting with clients in which he ‘spilled his guts’.
