BRIEF ELEVEN - YCN - MOO BRIEFING - RICHARD MOROSS TALK

As it was outlined on my research plan a deeper understanding of the MOO company and its roots could be established by watching interviews with its founder, Richard Moross. 

Despite a fairly in depth brief and supporting project pack containing information on the company, I felt that it was necessary to understand some of the companies specifics and journey of growth as they could help to inform the direction my campaign takes. 

One piece of information I really want to find out is how the company name, MOO, was originally generated if it has any relevant to the company itself.



RICHARD MOROSS - GO GLOBAL CONFERENCE 

After a short time browsing the depths of the web I came across a video recording of the lecture Richard Moross, the founder of MOO, gave at the 'Go Global Conference' in 2011. In the talk Moross discusses the companies journey and some of the business strategies that were applied to help the business grow and prosper. 




NOTES 

While watching the video I took notes of information I felt was useful or significant;
