I asked my question but slightly reworded for context: “There’s a plan at the moment to define the future of Birmingham for the next ten years. That’s a ‘big idea’. You’ve talked about how ‘little ideas’ are better. If you were the creative director for that project (“no pressure then!”… laughs) what would you do?”

“That’s your job!” (more laughs)

“Pride – Birmingham needs to have more pride – I’d focus on that” – paraphrased, but that was the thrust of it!

I’d be interested to know if he thinks you could/can even brand something as huge and odd as a city – and if you should even bother.
