A Smart Team with a Strong Pedigree

The Smart Brown Dog, Muse
The Smart Dog behind the Dog is one extremely dapper, chocolate-coloured Labradoodle called Rocco. Rocco has little hands-on (paws on!) training in procurement or marketing, but understands the dynamics and certainly knows how to present a compelling proposal. On first meeting Mark as a young pup, he found his way firmly into his affections with a cute penchant for licking knees. Whilst we don’t recommend this as a tactic for strategic sales teams, it certainly worked for Rocco.
A few years on, Rocco is an integral part of the Smart Brown Dog team; he’s a very good excuse to break away from the desk and head out for some thinking time. A loyal companion, he also likes to tag along to the occasional client meeting. Please note that Rocco is not on LinkedIn (yet).

We think these photos capture both the beauty and character of this corner of the world ( and the best spots for Smart Brown Dog to chase squirrels)
