Happy teams is a new podcast that seeks to teach business owners all about how to grow a thriving, positive workplace culture that boosts efficiency, helps retain your brightest and best talent and improves productivity across the field.
With remote working and mental health now more relevant than ever, creating a workplace culture that allows team members to feel engaged, included and motivated is extremely important. But, for this to work successfully, a number of things need to fall in place and knowing what fits where isn’t always easy. On Happy Teams, we talk to some of the best digital agency and tech company leaders about how they create a workplace culture that delivers.
We know full well that every business is different, so we cover all things from past success and failures, to how to cater your culture to individual personalities and why it is so important that businesses do all they can to make sure their talent is happy and feel at home when working for them.
Each episode, Prodigi’s founders, David and Bachir, will be sharing some of their top tips and interviewing a new business leader. We’ve learned a lot whilst making these podcasts and hope that you will too.

Digital Agency M&A: How hedgehog lab completed a successful agency merger
Paul, Head of Operations and Delivery at Hedgehog Lab, reveald the key ingredients to sustaining a high performing team culture following their merger with Netsells.
"Giving people a platform to work on good quality projects where they're understanding who the client is and what the background is and helping them see those things through to fruition gives them self-satisfaction," Paul explains, highlighting the importance of humanising the client-agency relationship.
Paul dives into four critical aspects of Hedgehog Lab's approach to building happy, collaborative teams post merger:
🤝 Cultural Fit - Ensuring new hires align with the company's values and work well with existing teams is essential for maintaining a cohesive culture, especially during a merger.
📣 Assumptions are Dangerous - Clear communication and well-defined processes are crucial to avoid misunderstandings and keep everyone on the same page, particularly when integrating teams with different ways of working.
🌍 Fostering Collaboration - Regular meetups, inclusive social events, and daily stand-ups help remote team members feel connected and engaged, even across time zones.
🔄 Feedback Loops - Multiple channels for sharing concerns and ideas, from one-on-ones with line managers to mental health support and anonymous surveys, ensure everyone's voice is heard.
Paul also shares his biggest post-merger learning: investing in a Professional Services Automation (PSA) tool from day one.
"Had we set ourselves on the front foot with that, maybe gone with a solution early doors, then that would've enforced a lot of the process that is required," he reflects.
🎧 Tune in to discover how Hedgehog Lab is leveraging seniority, collaboration, and a return to the office to drive the next phase of growth, and learn from Paul's experience uniting teams and processes post-acquisition.
