Carl Smiths' Biggest Lessons from a Lifetime of the #AgencyLife

Carl Smith has done and seen it all. He's worked his way up the ladder at a big agency. He's gone off to start his own agency, growing it to millions in revenue with thought leadership in his niche. Finally, he's taken over an organization that brings together agency owners all over the country. What's the most important thing he's learned through his trials and tribulations? Tune in to find out. About Carl A theater major who decided to act like he understood business, Carl spent 14 years in advertising before launching his digital agency, nGen Works, in 2003. nGen ran for 12 years, constantly experimenting with different models of management and team structure, including the Jellyfish Model which was flat before flat was cool. Towards the end of nGen’s run, Carl attended the very first Bureau event and fell madly in love with the concept of building community in the web industry. So much so that a few years later he closed nGen to take over the Bureau in 2016. Now Carl spends every day connecting digital professionals to give them the support they need.
