Work Hard. Care Hard with Dave Brown, Vimeo

If everything feels urgent, nothing is important.
Dave Brown explains how clarity—not effort—is what actually moves the business forward.

What happens when you mix Amazon’s obsession, Square’s cultural magic, and Vimeo’s cinematic storytelling… then add a co-founded record label, some punk-rock zines, and way too much soda? You get Dave Brown.

In this episode of Marketing Mischief & Mayhem, Russell Quinan sits down with Vimeo’s VP of Brand & Creative to talk about the messy balance between creativity and performance, why “work hard, care hard” is the only marketing mantra that matters, and how to protect fragile creative teams in the high-stakes B2B world.

Along the way you’ll hear about mixtape shout-outs from Frank Ocean, why copywriters are secretly designers, and why pizza should never be mistaken for overtime pay.

If you’ve ever wondered whether true creativity can thrive inside the corporate machine (spoiler: hell yes), this one’s for you.
