Welcome to a special solocast episode of Build a Better Agency! In this midyear trend report, hosts Drew McLellan and Danyel Newcom McLellan dig deep into the evolving landscape facing agency owners in 2025. Leveraging data, global industry perspectives, and hands-on agency experience, Drew and Danyel break down what's really impacting agencies right now and what to keep your eye on as the year unfolds. This episode covers the biggest drivers reshaping the agency world—from economic and political disruptions to shifting client and employee expectations. Drew and Danyel explore findings from the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer, including the global “crisis of grievance,” and detail the unique opportunities and obligations business leaders face as the most trusted type of institution. They reveal how financial trends, M&A activity, and even compensation expectations are shifting, providing a realistic look at growth, profitability, and future planning. You'll also hear a candid analysis of client dynamics and new business trends: increased buyer skepticism and demand for transparency, shorter contract terms, and the rising importance of social proof and niche expertise in attracting and retaining accounts. Internally, the episode explores changing workforce norms, a renewed focus on employee development and mental health, and innovative staffing strategies to increase agility and resilience. Rounding out the conversation, Drew and Danyel highlight where agencies are finding success—including the explosive impact of AI, new roles like creative technologists, the resurgence of retro campaigns, and the growing power of influencer and creator marketing. Whether you're preparing your agency for exit, acquisition, or simply striving to thrive during uncertain times, this action-packed episode provides practical, actionable insights to help you build a stronger, more sustainable business.

In a recent essay for The New York Times, former Vibe editor-in-chief Danyel Smith recounted a 1997 incident where Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly threatened her life over a cover dispute. Smith claimed that after she refused Combs' demand to review his cover photos before publication—citing company policy—he responded by stating he would see her "dead in the trunk of a car." Following this threat, Smith involved her lawyer, leading to an apology faxed from Combs. Shortly thereafter, Vibe's offices experienced a theft of servers containing the magazine's content, which Smith suspected was an inside job possibly linked to Combs' associates. These revelations have resurfaced amid multiple recent allegations against Combs, including sexual assault and abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy told me I'd might end up 'dead in a trunk' over approval of magazine cover, claims editor | Daily Mail Online

Danyel Bischof-Forsyth, Chief Technology Officer at 7 Brew Coffee, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to share her experiences leading technology transformation in a rapidly growing company. With 35 years of technology experience, including 28 years at Hallmark Cards and 5 years at Tyson Foods, Danyel brings extensive expertise to her role at 7 Brew Coffee, a drive-through beverage company experiencing explosive growth. Danyel explained that 7 Brew Coffee is expanding from 180 locations at the start of 2024 to 330 by year-end, with commitments for 3,000 future locations. Each location generates over $2 million in revenue, creating what Danyel describes as "growth like a rocket ship." To manage this rapid expansion, she has implemented both technological and human solutions. This includes daily stand-up meetings, monitoring systems for KPIs, ticketing systems, and comprehensive analytics. The daily stand-ups, led by a certified project manager, use a Kanban board to track progress and surface issues quickly. Danyel noted that while team members were initially skeptical about daily meetings, they've embraced the practice over the past year as they've seen its value in problem identification and cross-team learning. When it comes to problem-solving and ideation, Danyel emphasizes the importance of preparation. She actively maintains a network of fellow technologists in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) space to learn from their experiences. Before brainstorming sessions, her team researches industry practices and clearly defines the problem they're trying to solve. In balancing speed with thoroughness, Danyel uses the metaphor of "pouring concrete" - distinguishing between decisions that will have long-lasting implications and those that allow for experimentation. She considers factors such as system interconnectedness, organizational impact, and reversibility when determining which decisions require more rigorous analysis. When building her team from scratch, Danyel prioritized "high learning agility" as a key characteristic, knowing team members would need to handle diverse responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. She also strategically brought in specific expertise in project management, cybersecurity, and full-stack development. Danyel shared a valuable lesson about coaching less experienced team members, realizing she needed to adjust her questioning approach. Rather than assuming team members had already considered certain angles, she learned to help them develop their own problem-solving framework through more foundational questions.

I wanted to wait until after the holidays to talk about this topic because it's a bit heavier than what we usually talk about on the show. But it's something that Danyel and I have noticed weighing heavily on a lot of you since COVID, and that is agency owner grief.  It's true that many of you have experienced quite a lot of loss and change these past few years  — with the way we work, how well our business is doing, AI, our overall productivity, and so much more. It's a lot of change to handle, and for many of us, we haven't taken the proper time to actually acknowledge our grief and begin to let it go.  But without taking those first steps, that grief will continue to take hold of us and affect us in all aspects of our business — and even our personal lives. Many of you report being restless, unable to focus, depressed, uninspired, feeling heavy, and burnt out. And it's all because we're burning the candle at both ends without taking the time to acknowledge just how much change we've gone through in the past 5 years as agency owners.  So I hope you'll join me and take some time to take stock of everything that's happened from 2020 to now — the good and the bad — and start to recognize just how much we've gone through so we can collectively learn to grieve and begin to let go of the bad to make more room for some good.  A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

 The state's highest court will soon decide whether a man convicted of killing his infant son more than 20 years ago will get a new trial.The case involves the controversial medical diagnosis, shaken baby syndrome. In 2003, a Gwinnett County jury convicted Danyel Smith of murdering his two-month-old son, Chandler. The state's medical examiner ruled the boy's death a homicide, caused by blunt force trauma. Prosecutors told the jury it was a “shaken baby” case.In April 2024, Smith pleaded with Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Ronnie Batchelor to grant him a new trial following nearly two weeks of testimony from medical experts who testified the child's death points to biological issues.“I asked myself if I could live with that decision for the rest of my life and the answer is no,” Smith told the court. “Only a guilty man would plead out.“Not every tragedy is a crime,” Smith said. “I'm not a murderer. I did not kill my son."Read the full story here:  https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/01/16/georgias-highest-court-hear-case-dad-convicted-killing-infant-son/

In the last solocast, we reviewed the agency trends that most affected agency AGI in 2023. This week, we're pulling back the curtain on the major trends rocking agency owners and their teams in 2024 — and giving you tips to stay ahead of them. We'll give you a reality check on misguided expectations around agency valuations and sales. And we'll explore why daily timesheets and utilization metrics are so crucial for retaining your rock star team members. Another big trend we unpack is moving back towards more in-office collaboration and nurturing agency employee fatigue through meaningful face time, employee retreats, and using in-office time more intentionally. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and proactively build your agency's future, don't miss this deeper look at the key trends shaping the industry this year and beyond. And to catch up on all the other trends we unpacked, be sure to check out Part 1 from last month's solocast.

There's more M&A activity amongst agencies than ever before. As agency owners get older and running the business becomes more stressful, many owners are running out of gas and looking for a reset. This means there has never been a more perfect time if you're looking to buy an agency. And if you're looking to sell, it might go faster than you anticipate. We know that M&As are stressful on both sides of the deal, no matter how much you plan ahead. So this week, we're taking a deep dive into the whole process — how far in advance to plan your sale, valuation, succession planning, dealing with the emotions behind it, and much more. Even if you're not planning to sell your agency right now, eventually, this will become a reality, and it's always better to be ahead of the curve.

This week on Our Body Politic, Farai Chideya revisits some of her favorite conversations with three authors. She starts with award-winning journalist, producer and author Danyel Smith, whose book Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop offers insight into Danyel's career in music journalism and highlights Black women's seismic - and sometimes underrated - influence on the world of pop music and business. Farai also talks with MacArthur Grant Award winner, Harvard professor and author Tiya Miles about one family heirloom from the enslavement period that remarkably stood the test of time. Then, Farai interviews Carmen Rita Wong, writer, journalist, finance expert and author of Why Didn't You Tell Me? A Memoir. Wong candidly shares how discovering a series of family secrets surrounding her heritage led her to re-examine her race and culture and forge a new path for authentic self-discovery.

It's that time of year again — we're going over the top agency trends we're noticing so far in 2023 and going into 2024. A lot has changed since the last time we went over the data, which means we have a ton of information that you'll hopefully find valuable and can use as a compass for where to lead your agency through the rest of the year heading into 2024. As we exit the pandemic era and move into the AI era, there's a lot to consider in how agencies function regarding what our clients want, how fast our sales cycle moves, how we hire, where we should focus our biz dev, and more. One thing is certain — many agency owners like you feel re-energized and reinvigorated coming out of 2022. Let this episode be a ray of light that gives you an extra boost of encouragement for the rest of 2023, and keep that momentum going for as long as possible.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis sits down with Academy Award winning screenwriter and acclaimed horror auteur Jordan Peele, who's here to discuss his latest genre-bending film “Nope.” Then we revisit our recent conversation with actress Chloë Sevigny about her take on “quiet acting.” And for The Treat, we listen back to Danyel Smith's take on the ‘80s R&B hit “No Parking on the Dance Floor.”

This week Write-minded is exploring the ways authors place themselves into stories with broader cultural or historical contexts. Guest Danyel Smith has done just that with her new genre-crossing book, Shine Bright, that's both an examination of black female music artists and those artists' impact on Danyel. Books like these are popular and often difficult to pull off, since writers must be aware of the balance between journalism and personal story—which is why Shine Bright is such a satisfying example of how to do this style of writing well. As a bonus, this episode also offers up a music fandom, an inside story about Whitney Houston, and a peek behind the curtain of Danyel's journey with this book. Learn more about your ad choices.
