TIME: 1:30 pm — 2:05 pm
ROOM: El Dorado
Over the past 6 years I have grown my agency from a one man shop to a team of 14, working for some of the largest names in our industry. In that time a lot has gone right, but a lot has gone wrong.
In this talk, I’ll pass on what I have learned learned and how things change when you go from one person to two, to three, to five and to ten. I’ll cover the peaks and the pitfalls we ran into — pitfalls that could have been avoided if someone would have just taken the time to teach me some basic things.
As designers and developers we are not educated in business management, in HR, in contract negotiations. All of these things are important and change the way we grow our companies. This talk covers the good and the bad, and where we totally screwed up.
