S5 | 385: Dispelling Myths About Funding Creative and UX: What You Think You're Getting vs What You Really Need with Dan Knuckey and Jason Bowman from The Office of Experience
About the Episode
Today we’re going to talk about Dispelling Myths About Funding Creative and UX: What You Think You're Getting vs What You Really Need, in a special episode brought to you by The Office of Experience, a design-driven, digital-first, vertically integrated and collaborative agency that believes in the power of ideas and the strength of people. This will also be the first of a quarterly outlook on B2B e-commerce and what brands should be looking out for there.
To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Dan Knuckey, Executive Creative Director, and Jason Bowman, Executive Director of UX at The Office of Experience.
