A new era is unfolding in brand marketing as Greg Wise and Charlie Riley sit down with Rob Biederman of Asymmetric. As digital marketing becomes crowded and returns diminish, Rob reveals why B2B and B2C brands are rediscovering the real-world impact of out-of-home strategies. The conversation traces Rob’s experience as co-founder of Catalent, his perspective as an investor, and the partnership that brought him to OneScreen. Listeners hear firsthand why repeat buy behavior and low customer satisfaction drew Rob to the fragmented world of billboards—and what it takes to measure true ROI in the absence of digital tracking.

From pinpointing the right inventory for ABM, to the unexpected effectiveness of brand recall in the wild, Rob breaks down how marketers can defend, prove, and scale offline channels. He shares why out-of-home isn’t just for “alcoholic beverages and concerts,” but a critical lever for B2B brands targeting decision makers. The episode closes with Rob’s tactical advice for those looking to break free of online performance ceilings and create omnichannel marketing that gets noticed—and remembered.

Rob Biederman is Managing Partner at Asymmetric, an early-stage venture firm with a presence in New York City, San Francisco, and Boston. Before founding Asymmetric, Rob co-founded and was co-CEO of Catalent Technologies, a company enabling frictionless talent deployment, and currently serves as its chairman. His experience includes roles at Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital. Rob is also a Harvard Business School Executive Fellow and the author of “Re-Imagining Work: Strategies to Disrupt Talent, Lead Change, and Win with a Flexible Workforce.”

Aaron Keller didn’t hold back. In this episode, Beyond the Billboard co-hosts Charlie Riley and Greg Wise sit down with the Capsule co-founder to dissect the human and economic layers of brand. Aaron lays out a philosophy grounded in the idea that “brands are living members of our community”—containers of trust and meaning that shape culture and behavior. The conversation touches everything from billboard placement in Maplewood, Minnesota to the strategic suspension of merino wool products by Patagonia. He explores what happens when brands try to be everything to everyone, and why too much focus on bottom-of-funnel tactics can trigger the marketing equivalent of a restraining order. This episode is loaded with stories, sharp metaphors, and marketing reality checks from one of the most thoughtful minds in branding.

Aaron Keller is the co-founder of Capsule, a special projects agency based in Minneapolis. Capsule works with brands like Patagonia, Hydro Flask, and QuickTrip, offering research-driven design and brand strategy. Aaron is also the author of The Physics of Brand, a columnist for Twin Cities Business, and describes himself as a “curious investor.”
