Most brands don’t fail because they picked the wrong agency, they fail because they didn’t know when it was time to move on.
In this episode, Colby Flood talks with Behdad Jamshidi, founder of CJAM Marketing Connector, about what happens when your business outgrows its agency, and how to recognize the signs before performance stalls.
They unpack: 💡 The 5 levels of marketing partnerships (and how to know which you’re in) ⚙️ How to spot agencies that are sales engines vs. true operators 📈 Why brand growth often requires new structures, not just new spend 🤝 The communication gaps that quietly end client–agency relationships
Whether you’re scaling from your first freelancer to a full-stack team, or wondering if your agency can still take you further, this one’s a roadmap for making smarter partnership decisions.
