3 Things We'll Never Do Again As A Digital Marketing Agency

from Engaging Marketeer · host Darren Jamieson

“What’s the point in a web designer being there?” That’s the question Darren asks when a client says, “I love this site - just copy it for me.” If you’ve ever had a client or prospect tell you how to do your job, promise “future work” instead of payment or pitch you a 50/50 “partnership” deal… this episode will hit close to home. In this week’s episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren shares three painful lessons from over 16 years of running a digital marketing agency - three things he’ll never do again. From “partnership” deals that sound too good to be true, to giving away work for free, these are traps that every new web designer, freelancer and business owner needs to see coming. If you run a creative or marketing business, this is a must-watch before you agree to another “great opportunity.” About your host: Darren has worked within digital marketing since the last century, and was the first in-house web designer for video games retailer GAME in the UK, known as Electronics Boutique in the States. After co-founding his own agency, Engage Web, in 2009, Darren has worked with clients around the world, including Australia, Canada and the USA. iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/engaging-marketeer/id1612454837 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenjamieson/ Engaging Marketeer: https://engagingmarketeer.com Engage Web: https://www.engageweb.co.ukSupport the show: https://engageweb.clubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
