Whether you're looking to refine your agency's focus, improve your content strategy, or optimize your operations, this episode is packed with actionable advice from a rapidly growing agency.

Episode Insights:

💡 Niche down to grow faster: Focusing on B2B scale-ups allowed Dapper to create targeted content and marketing strategies.

💡 Balance specialists and generalists: Having a strong generalist who can oversee the entire marketing funnel is crucial in B2B marketing.

💡 Create in-platform content for LinkedIn: Short video clips (1-3 minutes) that provide value and address prospect problems perform best.

💡 Focus on building problem awareness, solution awareness, and authority in your content.

💡 Aim for high visibility frequency: Post 4-5 times a week, including 1-2 videos, to stay top-of-mind with your target audience.

💡 Use paid promotion to ensure your content reaches your ideal customer profile (ICP).

💡 Start videos with strong statements or results to immediately capture viewer interest.

💡 Implement proper time tracking to optimize business operations and profitability.

💡 Leverage your existing team for sales support: Involve consultants in the sales process to handle tasks outside of client meetings, freeing up the founder's time for strategic thinking and key client interactions.
