How to build a big email agency

Creating an agency is scary on its own. Expanding it to 20, 40, 70 employees is terrifying. Is it worth it? Or should your agency stay small and boutique? This session will show you the experience of EmailSoldiers – one of the biggest email agencies in CIS or even Europe that has been working since 2014 and has 80 people on board. We’ll share how we’ve achieved this milestone: processes, structure, fears, successes, failures, side projects, company merges, and more. You will be able to relive these six years with us, feel what we’ve gone through, and decide whether this path seems to be yours as well.

Key Takeaways
