Do you want to start your own company? Or play it safe at "big corporate"?

Andrew and I talk about agency life and the struggles with running our own shops. We talk about profitability and how that relates to agency and client happiness. And, as past freelancers ourselves, we also talk about the relationship contractors play and how to effectively manage those relationships.

Andrew gets into some odd YouTube fetishes and conspiracies from his own YouTube fame and how it invaded his life (it's not as bad as it sounds)

We get into the intricate workings of both /Archive Digital and Mellenger Interactive and the different ways we manage operations and offer value to clients. John touches on strategies in product and service delivery and the problems teams face in doing so. Asking questions about process, expectations and deadlines is key.

We touch on team culture and keeping work exciting for everyone involved. The importance of offering the best perks to staff/partners and maintaining a "People Over Profit" attitude is so CORE to the success of every company in our space. Andrew talks about the main differences between working at "big corporate" vs starting his own agency and working with people he wants to and the cost that comes along with that.
