“Question: what do you get when you combine a rockstar with an astute business brain? Answer: Jonathan Leafe, the man who has had the biggest impact on my thought processes since Mark Zuckerberg in 2008.
Through spending regular, focused time with Jonathan, I was able to go from having an agency business that could become something, to a creative agency that really is something. He injected enthusiasm, confidence and fascinating business insight that has enabled my agency to change significantly, not only during the couple of years he spent with us, but also in the time afterwards. I often find myself thinking: “what would Leafe do?” when presented with a challenge, and that usually helps me get to some fantastic solutions. Many people say they’re creative marketing rockstars, I’ve only come across Jonathan who genuinely is.
