Today’s guest is Mojo Supermarket’s President, Armando Turco – talking about reinventing his passion for agency life. 

After a standout career at BBH, a transformative spell at Vox Media, and a client-side role in the disruptive world of Oatly, Armando swore he’d never go back to agency life. But as you’ll hear, never say ‘never’. 

He shares how working client-side changed his entire perspective on what agencies get wrong – and what they can get right. From embracing experimentation to staying close to the work, he explains why you don’t have to trade creativity for control.

He also unpacks the power of optimism and how leaders can ignite your passion, no matter how experienced you are.
