摘要
Good Time won beauty awards at Allure and Vogue, had loyal customers and was growing. Who Gives A Crap shut it down anyway, because every brief for it sat next to a brief worth a hundred times more. "You would never work on this."
Danny Alexander co-founded the toilet paper company that gives away half its profits, and tells Elizabeth Gore why a brand that was working still had to go, what happened the week the sales line went vertical in 2020, and why ten thousand mislabelled boxes shipped with a whoopee cushion inside.
