As a marketing consultant, I was up to my eyeballs in branding and advertising for the next seven years. In my mid 30s I decided that I needed a change of scenery and signed up to journalism school. Half way through the program, me and Brett Luft pieced together a beta concept for Notice and we've been tinkering with it ever since.
