In this week’s episode, Monotype’s Bill Connolly sits down with James DeJulio, co-founder and CEO of Tongal, a “studio on demand” that boasts an impressive roster of clients like LEGO, PayPal, NBC Universal, and more. A former Hollywood producer, DeJulio shares his insight into the ever-changing world of advertising and content creation, and outlines the recipe that has grown Tongal’s community to more than 160,000 members.
