Key Quotes by Jesse:

• [When you create an ad campaign,] it’s not about how many people see it—it’s about the right people seeing it. And when you’re working with different brands, you have to figure out what the most important thing is for them.
• Operating inside the world that we live in today, you can be hyper-niche. The most important thing is to identify your target market and really home in on it, because if you don’t put out the content you want, then you’re not going to get the people that you want.
