In this episode, Karl Dunn, the Creative Director for Nissan at TBWA/Chiat/Day came on the show to discuss the story of GT Academy.

Cool interview! I had a stab at GT Academy at one point, having formerly done some online F1-racing with some success, but some of these GT Ninjas were just ridiculously fast.
Fantastic idea, brilliant execution, and a massive result for both Nissan, Polyphony Digital and TBWA.
This sounds good for me! Nice job!
