926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

And so, you know, today, a lot of what I do and a lot of my focus and a lot of the reason why I go as hard as I do is because of them, you know, not only to honor them, but also to continue the legacy of family and keep building, you know, generationally.

Uh, business model is typical for the most part.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

I think where we differentiate ourselves is our approach to, um, our approach to the work essentially.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

So we work with early stage and small and midsize companies.

Um, and the focus is entirely on growth.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

So I like to refer to us kind of as the digital growth agency.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

And I say that differentiates us from other agencies because a lot of times nowadays people are chasing impressions of

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

you know, they're chasing, you know, reach instead of actually chasing the conversions and the impact on the bottom line.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

And I think our strength comes from the ability to synthesize creative production, actual paid media strategy, and the overall consulting and kind of, you know, market research side of things.

And so we, every meeting, you know, all three teams are in that office, they're, you know, they're together on the call, and we approach every client, kind of in a holistic manner.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

And I think that leads to a lot of, you

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

interesting things when you get down funnel, you know, because the understanding is deeper.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

Um, we are North of $1.5 million this year, which is, um, you know, which is a big jump from, from last year.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

Uh, it was about half of that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

So yeah, so we've scaled, um, you know, obviously scaling an agency under the traditional agency model is extremely difficult.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

Um, and I think that's something that we continue to try to find efficiencies in, but, um, and we're also seeing the agencies kind of, uh,

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

People are moving a lot of their teams in-house when it comes to marketing and growth, and we've seen that headwind.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

But I think at the end of the day, the ability to creatively approach problems that agencies have, I think, will always be an advantage to in-house teams.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
926 How Teen Launched $250k Record Label, Then Kidney Failure, Now $1.5m Agency

At least that's what we've seen so far.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I think there are, when you move in-house, there's just a different relationship between you and the client.
