Podcast cover

Build a Better Agency Podcast

In this episode of the Build a Better Agency Podcast, Drew McLellan interviews Michael Farmer about the challenges and opportunities facing agencies today. Farmer shares his insights on how agencies can be more profitable by focusing on the scope of work and pricing, rather than simply trying to minimize costs. He argues that agencies need to shift their focus from delivering deliverables to solving business problems for clients, and that independent agencies are well-positioned to compete with larger holding companies by being more strategic and client-focused. The conversation explores how agencies can better communicate their value to clients, avoid the mistakes of holding companies, and position themselves for success in the future.
