## Resource

In this episode, I'm joined by Dillon Snyder , Creative Director at Vail Resorts. Dillon makes the case that much of today's marketing output has become the equivalent of "yellow page ads." We unpack why so much creative feels homogenized, how overemphasis on bottom-funnel tactics hurts long-term brand health, and why simplicity is often harder than complexity. Dillon also shares his vision for a "reset button" on creative: more collaboration between creatives and marketers, less energy on commoditized tactics, and a greater willingness to take risks that actually give audiences a reason to care. About: This podcast is produced by Port Side , a creative production studio. We help brands that move, create strategy-led, emotionally charged video campaigns.
