Hi Anton, I have started a boutique dev shop in NY about 5 years ago and recently having a hard time getting new leads. Not sure if I need to hire a biz dev/sales guy? I have done all my sales myself since the beginning, but the industry has changed and I am not sure how to go about getting new leads.
Any advice will help. I am a father of 2 and want to make sure I am building a company and not a hobby.
Thanks!
Hey Anton, It will be interesting to hear a couple of sentences about the positioning of the company in the market of design agencies. How new agency is different from SFCD? Why did you make that decision to start something new?
John, we're restructuring our business a little bit. Clay is purely focused on the Bay Area startups providing them with on-demand design resources. The company is going to invest in some startups too.
The decision was made to diversify our business and we also wanted to have a more nimble team who would only do startup work.
SFCD is still around working with bigger clients and other agencies on full-stack design and development projects.
Are you the rebranding of sfcd? I saw some work in common
It is a new agency. There is some overlap now with the SFCD work, but we'll be replacing that soon. The current site is just a placeholder and we're working on our branding and a new website. More soon!
