JobsWorth - Richard Cooper

This week on JobsWorth I’m sitting down with Richard Cooper, Founder and Managing Director of Essex based marketing agency, The OnCrowd. When Rich landed his first job in the early noughties, marketing looked very different to what it is today. He’s seen a whole heap of changes over the last two decades and as his own business celebrates its thirteenth anniversary the pace of change is only getting faster. In this episode I ask Rich what it was about marketing that lured him in in the first place, why after seven years of working in industry he decided to jump over the other side of the fence and work for a creative agency and we discuss the events that led him to starting The OnCrowd in the first place.Just five years into running his business Rich became a Dad. We talk about the transition to fatherhood and the impact it had on worklife balance, boundaries and his definition of success. Rich’s wanderlust has taken him all over the world but we explore why he chose to set up shop in Leigh on Sea and what it is that makes the local community so special. It’s this sense of community that has become the catalyst for a very special project Rich and his team have been working on and fortunately for us he was very happy to tell all. Please enjoy...
