Fuku’s Post

The last 8.5 years at D5 and Song were invaluable. From Super Bowl to experiential, creative to measurement and media planning, I learned so much from all the amazing humans that have made D5/Song a powerhouse. UFA is an end-to-end creative marketing firm focused on helping growth stage brands graduate from niche to mass market competitor. Many companies at this stage are rapidly expanding through new product and service offerings or expanded distribution channels or geographic footprint. As the ambition of the business grows, the game changes and it becomes clear a new marketing playbook is necessary to succeed. My ambition is to be the best partner in the world for brands as they navigate these major mindset, strategy and executional adjustments. Chubbies Shorts is a great example and I couldn't be happier to be partnering with Rainer Castillo marie malette and team. They’re poised for incredible growth and already taking the steps to elevate how they compete in the broader lifestyle apparel market. They’re a bold brand with strong values, world class product and talent. We’re only just getting started but I’m thrilled to see our partnership develop. It’s a season of change in the marketing world. I hope to influence how the creative industry evolves to create better outcomes for the talent behind the work and also the brands who commission it. If you’re a founder or a marketer and think this sounds like where your brand is today, let’s connect. If you’re freelancing, looking for a new gig, or an old friend and want to say, Hi, hit me up. More to come.

Always going above and beyond. Availability and flexibility.

Great example of how a team works as a single unit over a fairly long time frame. while they're celebrating 3rd anniversary in a new avatar, I have seen them working together as far as my memory serves - more than 10 years for sure. So, what's the mantra to stick together as a team for over a decade 1. Complete autonomy and sense of ownership. Decision making including very strategic ones such as partner selection is done with everyone agreeing to the same. 2. Total transparency - everyone knows everything about the company including access to the CEO's email ( not advocating this as a best practice though 🤣), but nothing can be a greater example of transparency 3. Direct and no nonsense communication style including arguments 4. Complete flexibility in working hours. Family priorities come first for everyone and other team members support the person who needs time away automatically. These are few of my impressions as an outside observer who has seen this team through ups and downs.

Team Player Yesterday I went into the local high street. I joined a few people waiting at the pelican crossing to cross the busy road (obviously). After a few minutes, I realised that it was taking “longer than expected”. It became evident that no one had pressed the button! The people joining the waiting queue of people had likely assumed that the first person had pressed the button. 🚦🛑 So I walked round, pressed the button, hey presto the green man was flashing and about 15 people were able to cross the road. 👈 🚦 It wasn’t tricky. It just involved being curious about why something wasn’t working as expected then taking responsibility to take action. 🧐 This simple act actually helped approximately 14 other people. 👫 So the next time you take action when you can’t be bothered or feel that it’s not your responsibility, remember that it could be helping your team, the elderly or people who need a break. Be a team player by leading the action. Share a story of when a simple act helped others. Even your story could put a smile on someone’s face. #team #action #teamplayer #leader

Part of a ecosystem to develop omnichannel strategies to gain and manage opt-ins. Particularly interesting when moving into new TA's with new customer groups and for biotechs (focused on rare diseases) from the US who are moving into Europe and require more digital-heavy GTM models. Still seeing the need for providing strong omnichannel campaigns to firstly gain the opt-ins, but then make strong use of the opt-ins once they are gathered.

I've also valued peer recognition over any other thing. 🏆 . Awards and metric accomplishments are great and show talent, hard work and personal ability. Peer recognition displays culture and is really a true indication of organizational health (both accomplishment and a team that values others). . It's so rewarding to see it when it happens organically! . #teamwork #recognition #success #leadership

Seeing your team recognized for their outstanding effort and execution on a company-wide level is one of the greatest moments as a leader. So proud of you, Resa Mueller, for once again showing the company how it’s done! ✅ #corevalue #levelup #salesleadership

Managing a cub event might seem like a small task, but it's no less than managing a company. The group of very different characters in cubs, just like a company, are pushed together for a common goal. Learning and having fun is the ultimate objective in cubs, and these two things happen in every successful company. Every group has its share of shy, outgoing, and determined individuals. Some may not even want to be there, but in the end, they all have fun. The same goes for a Cub leader and a Managing Director- both roles come with their own set of challenges, but they are equally fun and rewarding. Whether it's leading a group of cubs or a team at work, the key is to keep everyone motivated and focused on the end goal.

Sales can be a challenging field, often described as a "dog eat dog" world. But what makes it all worth it? The power of teamwork! There's nothing quite like the camaraderie and solidarity that comes from working alongside colleagues who have your back. With a supportive team, we become stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to tackle any challenge that comes our way. Here's to the power of teamwork!
