What might a decentralized creative economy look like that benefits large corporations, startups, independent talent, and ultimately — the customer?
Hear from Nicole Ayres of Jumpsuit Agency who is leading with an agency model powered by the independent network that did $500K revenue within her first year, and $8M paid out to independent creatives within 7 years with NO advertising (other than a recent creative project she supported) and NO employees.
How? By leading with emotional intelligence that nurtures innovative ideas, quality creative work, long-term client relationships, and the kind of brand risks that are driving the next generation of business.
AI is quickly changing the way work gets done. When the old ways are dying, when there is no plan, what is the best way to move forward?
Nicole says her best strategy right now is to build and evolve in public.
As her creative agency goes through it’s own metamorphosis, we talk about grieving change in business (not bypassing it), as well as building space to contemplate into new definitions of productivity.
If you’re a brand or operations leader, a startup founder, an independent creative, or an agency trying to bridge decentralized work — this episode is for you!
