Each year, RGD asks a different Canadian design agency or studio to tackle the conference identity. In these shorter episodes, host Nicola Hamilton will speak with some of those folks—past DesignThinkers Design Partners. In this episode, Hamilton catches up with Hans Thiessen RGD. Thiessen leads the design team at Rethink—an agency that’s been named AdAge’s Creative Agency of the Year, one of Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Creative Agencies, and Strategy‘s Creative & Design Agency of the Year five years in a row, and counting. Rethink was the DesignThinkers Design Partner in 2017 and Hans was on the team that executed that work. Listen in as they recount that process—and the speed bump they hit along the way.
