Agency Spark Podcast with Ellen Jantsch

The Agency Spark Podcast, hosted by Sara Nay, is a collection of interviews from thought leaders in the marketing consultancy and agency space. Each episode is designed to spark ideas you can put into practice for your agency today.

In this episode of the Agency Spark Podcast, Sara interviews Ellen Jantsch. Ellen leads the team at Tuff, a 10-person remote growth marketing team for hire. They team up with startups and small businesses to help them prioritize high-impact growth campaigns to quickly identify the highest ROI channel and then scale it.

Questions Sara asks Ellen Jantsch:

  • What made it motivated you to actually take action and launched Tuff in the first place?
  • What’s the difference between focusing on things like Google ads or Facebook ads versus positioning yourself as a full growth agency?
  • You’re focused on revenue and not ad spends — what do you mean by that?
  • When clients aren’t patient enough for strategy and long-term SEO growth, how do you get some of those quick wins in place?
  • Are there some resources that you would recommend for other agency owners there?
  • How are you determining what roles you need to fill before you’re actually going out and looking for these positions?
  • Are your growth marketers the main point of contact for your clients?
  • How many different engagements can a growth marketer run at once?
  • Where have you found your growth marketers and channel experts that you’ve hired?
  • What does a typical workday look like for you as the founder?

Agency Spark Podcast with Thomas Hess

The Agency Spark Podcast, hosted by Sara Nay, is a collection of interviews from thought leaders in the marketing consultancy and agency space. Each episode is designed to spark ideas you can put into practice for your agency today.

In this episode of the Agency Spark Podcast, Sara interviews Thomas Hess. Thomas and his wife run an agency called Mawazo Marketing. At Mawzo, they work with owners of B2B companies who want to grow their business. They help them with a concrete digital strategy, a website that saves on operational costs and an online marketing system that generates leads.

 

Questions I ask Thomas Hess:

  • What’s the meaning behind the name of your agency?
  • What inspired you and your wife to start your agency?
  • How are you generating leads currently?
  • You believe that there’s an opportunity for marketing consultants and agencies to sell with the focus on cost reduction versus simply promising leads – will you expand on that?
  • How do you make a website more than just a brochure and how you make it fully functional for a business?
  • When someone comes to you thinking they need something as simple as a new homepage, how do you approach this?
  • What are the main pieces that you’re working on defining in a strategy engagement before you move into any marketing tactics?
  • How do you educate prospects or clients on the importance of strategy versus just diving into an unrelated tactic?
  • What really drove you to go all in on a project management tool?
  • What would you say has been the number one value of creating systems and processes?
  • What is one thing you wish you would have known when you started your agency?
