  • How Handle Conflict & Misalignment Among Agency Partners

    How Handle Conflict & Misalignment Among Agency Partners
    Jul 2 2024
    When an agency owner wants to make an important decision on behalf of the agency, such as what services to offer, or even whether to sell the business, it’s their decision to make. But if you have one or more partners, now you have to reach a consensus. And if you don’t have alignment among all partners, coming to agreement on anything will be hard, and potentially detrimental to the success of the agency and the partners themselves. How can you identify these kinds of issues before they arise, and if you’re already in conflict with your partners, what should your next steps be? That’s what Karl Heasman is here to help us with. Karl spent 25 years in the agency business, successfully exited despite having partner challenges of his own, and has since gone on to coach and mentor dozens of other agency owners and partners going through similar situations. He works with ambitious digital, marketing, and communications agencies, typically between $500k and $5m in revenue, to help them achieve their goals. Whether that be helping them navigate through a rapid period of growth, kickstarting the business after flatlining for years or preparing for a more successful exit. He’s an invaluable partner to help other agency owners tackle their growth challenges.

    Scaling Your Agency From 15 to 150+ People
    Jun 25 2024
    Whenever we talk with our marketing agency clients and audience, they share that their number one challenge is growing and scaling their agency. Not only is the task itself hard - figuring out what services to offer and market, how to adjust pricing to grow and attract new clients, and how to increase headcount accordingly - there are so many variables that affect agencies such as leadership, regionality, geography and more, ensuring that your solution to growing your agency has to be unique. But that doesn’t mean you have to invent it wholesale. This podcast is designed to talk to and learn from other agency owners so that we can apply those ideas to our own businesses, in this case: How have other agencies dealt with managing fully remote teams? Or maintaining culture or quality across teams, from the moment of onboarding on? That’s what Zach Boyette is here to help us with.

    How Retail Marketing - and Digital Agencies - Changed After The Pandemic
    Jun 18 2024
    One of the topics we talked about on Social Pulse Podcast: Hospitality Edition, with Tyler Anderson, was how the pandemic completely disrupted the hospitality industry, and how his agency adapted. But what about retail and e-commerce? What impact did a total, global lockdown have on those industries, and how have agencies adapted since? That’s what Kristina Kleymenova and Myriam Kader are here to help us with. These brilliant ladies have launched their own creative marketing boutique, helping brands to elevate their presence and create engaging content that leaves a lasting impression. Kristina is a creative producer who got her start on the set of the Netflix original "War Machine", starring Brad Pitt, and led her to film a reality TV show for beauty mogul Huda Kattan. She then joined Huda Beauty to lead content production. Myriam is a strategic marketing specialist with a decade of experience in the beauty and fashion industry. Working together at Huda Beauty, these two helped the brand navigate the challenges of the pandemic, turning that challenging situation into an opportunity for growth, and then did what all successful entrepreneurs do - they saw a need in the market for their skills and experience and launched their own agency together.

  • Structuring Your Agency to Win Using EOS

    Structuring Your Agency to Win Using EOS
    Jun 11 2024
    Think back to when you first started your agency. You’d discovered in yourself a real passion and talent for helping other businesses with their marketing and found success with client after client. But then you also discovered the realities of running a business: team meetings, net terms, hiring and firing, and managing employees. Suddenly you’re questioning whether to back to being a solo consultant, right? If your training and education was in anything other than business, how do you structure your agency to function as an effective business, and set you and your team up for success? That’s what Matt Heinz is here to help us with. Matt’s career focuses on consistently delivering measurable results with greater sales, revenue growth, product success and customer loyalty. He founded Heinz Marketing over 15 years ago and brought tremendous experience in sales and marketing to the business, but recognized early on he needed to bring in people, and systems, to help him tackle the business aspects of running an agency, and that’s when he discovered EOS - the Entrepreneurial Operating System - which offers businesses a framework on which to structure goals, measurements, and meetings. With that structure in place, Matt and Heinz Marketing has helped organizations such as Amazon, Seagate, Morgan Stanley, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and many others create predictable, repeatable sales & marketing engines to fuel growth.

  • The Agency Owner’s Dilemma: How To Replicate Themselves

    The Agency Owner’s Dilemma: How To Replicate Themselves
    May 28 2024
    Does this sound familiar? You, and perhaps a partner, started your agency years ago because you discovered you had a real talent and passion for helping your business clients with certain aspects of their marketing. You brought on one client, then another, and before you knew it you had a full-blown agency up and running. But as you’ve hired more staff and brought on more clients, your workload has only increased. And you’re just as involved in the day-to-day of your operations as you were on day one, leaving little time to think strategically about your agency. How do you train others to handle more of what you’ve been doing, and what processes can you set up to help? That’s what Jessika Phillips is here to help us with.
