S07 EP29: The Omnichannel Potential of DTC that Transcends Apple's ATT w/ Polly Wong

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Polly Bickel Wong, President of Belardi Wong, a marketing agency working with affluent brands doing a mix of online and offline marketing.

Polly’s marketing career began with an awesome start. After graduating with an English literature degree, she worked as a PR in Publicis, then EvansGroup in Seattle. She was also recruited to Williams-Sonoma, Inc. where she worked with both digital and offline marketing. With her experience and finding fun in doing her craft, she became the president of Belardi Wong.

If you think that print and offline marketing is outdated, Belardi Wong disproves it with their amazing work with thriving brands like Allbirds, Birkenstocks, Serena & Lily, Buck Mason, Todd Snyder, and dozens of others. Consisting of 100 employees with eight VPs, each with their own pedigree, Belardi Wong is one of the industry’s leading marketing and creative agencies.

It’s an insightful episode as you’d hear Kunle and Polly talk more about the resurgence of offline marketing, its offerings to uphold the best customer experience and product promotion in a technology-dominated world, as well as strategies for maximizing both offline and digital marketing.
