Potter commented, "Working in traditional advertising for the last fifteen years has given me invaluable experience with brand voice, creative development, and the marketplace -- but brands are now expanding well beyond advertising. Joining the team at Genuine is, for me, both a return to the digital-first world that I love, and a step forward with a creative, progressive agency that understands brand experience in a completely modern -- and genuine -- context."
