How I Started an Agency at 17 - Carl Hewitt

What were you doing at 17? If you're anything like me, you were probably messing around in bowling alleys with your mates. However, that wasn't the case for Carl Hewitt, this week's guest on the Engaging Marketeer. Carl, along with his business partner Reece, set up a marketing agency at the age of 17. In this podcast, Carl and I discuss what it was like for him starting as a young entreprenuer in marketing. He speaks on the difficulties involved with securing clients, pricing and all the other pitfalls involved in starting a marketing agency. While his obvious business acumen is somewhat frustrating for a seasoned veteran such as myself, it was a privelege talking to Carl, who is clearly a very impressive businessperson.
