Working with our clients, we bring our best at LeftTurn through collaboration and innovation. We work as an extension of our client's teams and get to understand the business in-depth so we can bring an outsider's point of view and educated suggestions. Doing this requires constant learning and questioning why things are the way they are. To do this requires continuous left turns and staying curious. In this episode, we explore what this means and how we differ in our approach from other agencies to best support our clients.
