One More Question

Carly Ayres - Great work comes from honesty and commitment to process

Episode Summary

In Episode #5 of One More Question, captain of the Nicework ship, Ross Drakes chats to Carly Ayres about climbing into a boat with holes and setting sail for the horizon, focussing on process to create interesting work, and being completely transparent throughout the process so that others can learn from you. Ross and Carly take us through HAWRAF’s journey from inception to conclusion, and the lessons learned - creating robust processes and why they are important, why you should price your work correctly, and how founders lose sight of their original vision, not ending up where they want to be. Thinking of starting an agency? Starting a new project with an agency you haven’t worked with before? Think you’ve lost or strayed from your vision? If any of these hit home, this isn’t an episode you want to miss.
