I do not, nor will I ever, buy business! I sell on brand merits
49TH PARALLEL – SMALL IS BETTER
I personally conduct all sales calls for the company daily.
Small portfolio means the necessary time is dedicated to growing your brands.
Larger agencies with bigger portfolios tend to lose their focus – a new brand is given an initial strong push, and then usually garners less attention.
I don’t insist on being your Agent of Record, like most agencies. (In fact, I prefer not to be). This allows me to focus on building the brands where it counts, on the pavement, not from behind a desk.
