How Focus and “Quick Thinking” Helped Us Chalk Up Some Incredible Wins
2020 was a watershed year for the digital marketing industry. There were some agency owners who managed to score massive wins even as others struggled to adapt.
In this episode, Waseem and Chris bring to you their distilled wisdom on mindset, adaptability, and growth hacking.
When the pandemic struck, and the world first went into lockdown, Christopher found himself overwhelmed by all the disarray. The startup and business scene in London has been shaken up and he shares how quickly he had to find a new office within 10 days. He also shares how getting abroad in all for a break, helped him to “get his head right” so that he could resume with renewed gusto.
Waseem, on the other hand, was quick to realize that being nimble was the need of the hour. And, while he doubled down on content marketing and SEO, he added marketing automation and Google ads to his repertoire.
From staying productive and finding your own path in a work-from-home environment to focusing on your client’s biggest pain points, we reveal some golden nuggets that can catapult you miles ahead.
As owners of fast-growing businesses, Waseem and Christopher call out some of the common mistakes made by agency owners and share how you can strategize growth even in the most challenging markets.
