Frap Rap | Episode 18: Rene Bell Adams (RMB44)

Aaron Goldman reconnects with Rene Bell Adams in an all-new Frap Rap to revisit the early days of digital advertising and catch up on everything that's happened since. Rene (aka "RMB44") reflects on working with major brands like Chevrolet, Kellogg's, and Network Solutions, navigating the rapidly evolving digital landscape, and the importance of building great teams. She also shares how those experiences helped shape her journey from agency life to running her own marketing business in Florida. As always, there's an Apartment Crawl speed round and another epic freestyle, this time with Chicago sports nostalgia. Plus, a special appearance by Rene's dog, Zeus!
