Great panel. Examples of "the trials and tribulations" of a startup engaging with a big brands, i.e., behaviours for brands to avoid. There are a lot of startups that spin their tyres engaging with brands because purchase cycles, product marketing cycles, pr cycles are all too long for new companies. Also getting brands to realize small doesn't equal free.
