The Agency Horror Show
by Pilar Suquilvide & Mila Di Bella
The Agency Horror Show Running an agency is scary. Not in the jump-scare way, more in the "why is our biggest client paying 90 days late" way. Mila and Pilar have spent years inside agencies running ops, projects, clients, and the finances nobody wants to look at. Now they're pulling back the curtain on the stuff that doesn't make it onto LinkedIn. Every episode gets real about what actually happens behind the scenes, with recurring segments: AI Obsession: what AI is really changing for agencies, and what's just hype. Kids with a Wallet: agency finance horror stories, and what to learn from them. Confession Booth: anonymous stories from listeners who've survived their own agency nightmares. No polished thought leadership. No humblebrags. Just two people who've been there, talking candidly about the chaos, the money, and the parts of
