The quickest way to level up your work? Do the basics BRILLIANTLY

BRILLIANT BASICS

Bread and butter… does it get any simpler? Probably not. But it was this simple snack that inspired me to write this very blog post.

I read an interesting LinkedIn post a few days ago from my pal Sam Parker over at WIZZFX. He talked about interests away from work and the contrast they provide (good article, look him up on LinkedIn as he posts often 👌🏻).

For me, my major passion (away from audio and music) is football; previously as a player and now as a coach. I coach a non-league adult mens team (Clevedon Town at step 5 in the pyramid for anyone that’s interested).

One of the key things we often focus on is “doing the basics brilliantly”.

INSPIRATIONAL LUNCH


When buttering my piece of plain white bread (to go with my soup for lunch), this phrase popped into my head. It doesn’t get more basic than bread and butter…

But just HOW GOOD is it?! I mean, it made my soup that’s for sure.

And that’s my point today. The basics, the staples, the foundations… when done brilliantly and used in conjunction with something else, can create tremendous results.

Don’t overlook the basics of your audio - be it radio imaging, podcast production, FX, whatever. Because if you get them NAILED, they’ll be the bedrock of your successful audio branding.

And if you need support with those things, check out our work over at Little Monster Media. We'd love to help 👍🏻👹


Until next time, I’m off to eat my lunch.

Adam.
