To find out more and book click here.Dan started as an engineer and then moved over to running a photography business. Dan got a studio early in his career. When he started, there was a group of local businesseswith a shared space where he started with a desk. Then, as others left, he took over more of the space to make it his studio. Sam likes a few things on his website, especially the call to action “apply to work with us”. Dan said he got the ideafrom the book “Booked Solid” by Paul J DiGrigoli It gives the impression that he is so busy that you have to apply to work with him as he is so busy. Dan has upended his about page, making it entirely about the visitor, not about him. Marcus asks about the video and Dan said he got into this due to demand rather than it being something he wanted to do. Dan outsources any work he gets in. So, he works as a creative director, but the sub-contractor films and edits the videos.he says there are lots of freelancers out there who can work with you. Dan says that estimating the edit time is one of the most challenging parts of a video quote. Marcus asks Dan about his style and he says his style develops as you shoot rather than trying to force a style upon your work. Sam asks Dan about his niching as his work is very niched. Dan says this is largely based on his background and who he knew when he was an engineer. Although initially he was very general, he then focused on a niche. Dan said he found that once he niched, everything became much easier in terms of marketing and getting referrals. Dan said the secret of niching is also that you don't have to stick to your niche with your work, only in your marketing. Sam also discussed the idea that niching allows you to charge more as you are a specialist, not ageneralist.Dan has a group he has put together called fathers of Focus. This is a group for photographers that he runs. Dan wants to help others. He finds that the business side of the business is something he enjoys and has lots of experience with. While many photographers don't feel confident in this area. So the group is to bring photographers together and give them confidence in running their business. The group is aimed at family focused men.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Does your emotional attachment to your agency makes it difficult to make growth decisions? When you remove emotion from the mix and make decisions objectively, your realize more growth. After 21 years of running his business, today's guest realized he needed emotional distance and accomplished this by creating an alter ego who could assess the agency from an impartial point of view. This experiment proved remarkably successful. He's come to realize his true role in the agency and that much of it means working for his team, rather than the other way around. George Arabian is the CEO and founder of NVISION, a full-service digital marketing agency based in Toronto, Canada. He shares his journey into the world of digital marketing, how he managed to stop making decisions based on emotion, and how his transition to agency CEO has meant a bigger focus on how to help his team be the best they can be. In this episode, we'll discuss: Experimenting with innovation to stay ahead. Niching down does not mean limiting your agency. Becoming a true leader by working for your team. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world. Check out e2msolutions.com/smartagency and get 10% off for the first three months of service. Experimenting with Innovation to Stay Ahead George's passion for technology began at a young age when he started building computers. At just seventeen, he received what he humorously recalls as a request to "build an internet"—actually a website—for a local hockey shop owner. He quickly Immersed himself in learning html and put 500 hours into that first web project that paid him $400. One job led to another, eventually George started his own agency and has been running it since 2004. The digital landscape has transformed dramatically since George built his first website. Today, AI has helped make website creation faster than even before. However, what has remained constant throughout his journey has been his spirit of experimentation. For him, being in the digital marketing space is like being a "mad scientist." So he encourages his team to test new ideas and approaches in order to uncover novel solutions that set them apart from competitors. This experimental philosophy naturally led George's agency to expand beyond websites to integrate various marketing strategies—including SEO, advertising, and content marketing—into their service offerings. Why Niching Down Doesn't Mean Limiting Your Agency As he starts trying new services to expand his offering, George has found it very hard to narrow down that offer. On one hand, he feels genuinely and equally curious about SEO, CRM, email marketing, etc. On the other, he fears niching down will inevitably lead to boredom. Rather than forcing himself into a traditional service-based niche, George developed an innovative solution. He decided to center his agency around a conceptual focus: "creating human connection." This strategic pivot allows his team to maintain a clear, unifying purpose while still accommodating diverse projects and creative challenges that keep their work engaging. This approach is proof that niching down doesn't have to mean limiting yourself. It can enhance an agency's ability to experiment effectively. With a clear focus, an agency can explore an array of strategies and tactics within their niche, fostering a culture of innovation without sacrificing excitement or variety. The result is a business that remains creatively stimulating while still offering clients a clear understanding of the agency's unique value. How Emotional Distance Helps Make the Shift to Agency CEO As agencies grow, the challenges become more complex. Owners soon need to make a shift in focus from day-to-day operations to strategic leadership. Making the transition to Agency CEO was quite challenging for George, as he tried to detach himself from operations after twenty-one years of running the agency. It's a pretty common challenge for agency owners. For George, this deep emotional connection to the agency often led to rushed decisions as he stressed over the well-being of his team members. To create the necessary emotional distance, George developed a second more objective persona. One day, he arrived at work embodying this detached perspective, pretending it was his first day at an unfamiliar agency. Through this lens, he observed operations critically, documented his findings, and identified previously overlooked gaps and inefficiencies. With this approach, he was able to re-conceptualize the agency as an independent entity that required optimal functionality rather than as an extension of himself. The results soon started to show as he built an entity where the team no longer turned to him for every decision. Although he admits not being needed was harder than he'd anticipated, he recognizes that this step not only enhanced operational efficiency but also fosters a culture of trust and collaboration. Why Being a True Leader Means Working For Your Team Beyond emotional detachment, transitioning to the agency CEO role requires embracing delegation as a fundamental component of both operational efficiency and team empowerment. This shift fundamentally inverts the traditional hierarchy—you'll find yourself working for your team rather than the other way around. Your primary focus becomes supporting their growth and development, removing obstacles, and creating pathways for their success. The sooner you implement this mindset shift, the sooner you'll cultivate leaders within your agency who can shoulder responsibilities that once fell solely on you. This allows you to step back and concentrate on strategic agency growth. This evolution doesn't happen overnight but develops gradually as you enhance your leadership capabilities through continuous learning, reading, and engaging with a community of like-minded agency owners. The more you participate in this process, the more you'll develop your ability to articulate and communicate effectively. How to Clearly Define Your Role in the Agency George clarified his role as agency CEO through a classic mastermind exercise—listing both his most and least enjoyable tasks to identify what he should delegate. This straightforward but powerful assessment helps reveal an owner's true passions. In his, case, it was mentoring team members, creating content, and supporting the team in landing major clients. Clearly defining these roles helped George focus on moving the agency forward and provided the necessary boundaries recognize when to intervene and when responsibilities belonged to others. While George acknowledges he's still not quite where he'd like to be, that clarity has brought him more freedom. He also embraces the fact that this doesn't mean all his problems are solved now. However, the perpetual problem-solving cycle isn't a flaw but rather the essence of agency work—an environment where strong problem solvers naturally thrive and find fulfillment.

Do you freak out a little bit at the idea of narrowing your focus to speak to one specific client? Because if you do that, wouldn't that mean you're losing out on other potential clients? So today, we are talking about a word that you've heard a lot about that probably makes you roll your eyes. But in 2025, this word is more important than ever. I'm talking about niching. Through my many years in business, I've seen clients flat out reject the idea of getting radically specific about who they serve. Because what if? What if I'm missing out on potential clients, but I love working with so many different types of people? Me too, my friend. Me too. But here's the deal. There's a truth about niching down and the clients you're actually losing by trying to talk to everyone. Want to hear more about The Expert Up Club?

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Is your agency in need of a rebrand? Many of us are accidental agency owners who threw together a brand without fully understanding our niche or service offering; starting with just a basic name and logo. As the agency evolves this may signal the need for a strategic brand refresh. Today's featured guest runs a rebranding agency and shares the scenarios that could justify a rebrand, the difference the right will name make for clients to differentiate you, and share some rebranding strategies to keep in mind. Jim Heininger is a seasoned agency owner based in Chicago who runs two agencies: Dixon James, a strategic communication and change management firm, and the rebranding specialists known as the Rebranding Experts. With over 25 years of experience in the public relations industry, Jim discusses the importance of building a strong agency presence, why your name matters, and when is the right time to think about a rebrand. In this episode, we'll discuss: 2 big reasons agencies rebrand Why names matter for brand differentiation. Things to consider before renaming your agency.

Jim built his career in the agency environment, spending 25 years in public relations working for some major agencies like Bushman Hillard and Ketchum. Later on, he worked for McDonald's as a communications strategist tasked with helping them get through some brand issues they faced at the time. His time at McDonald's taught him a lot about the perspective on agencies and how to form great client relationships to get the best work out of your agency. This time proved transformative for his career, it was when he had the opportunity to start his own agency and also when he started learning more about branding. Jim defines a brand as the comprehensive collection of experiences and assets that define a company, extending far beyond visual elements like logos to encompass customer experience, brand promises, and their fulfillment. While a brand ultimately exists in customers' minds, and you'll never be able to control how customers perceive it, you can influence that perception. Influential figures like Steve Jobs understood the importance of brand narratives and greatly admired Nike, which has mastered the art of branding by creating a strong identity that transcends their products. Businesses should actively manage their brand perception rather than allowing external forces to dictate it. Hence, it is only logical they consider rebranding once the brand no longer represents their business. 2 Big Reason to Consider an Agency Rebrand According to Jim, agencies are the business category that most frequently undergo rebrands. It makes sense, given so many are accidental agencies. Many agency owners begin as skilled practitioners who establish a business in response to growing client demand, often resulting in a created brands that may not stand the test of time. There are two common reasons why founders consider a rebrand: Make it all about the business, instead of yourself. Many agencies initially build their brand around the founder's expertise. As the business grows, however, there's often a strategic need to highlight the broader team's capabilities, reducing client expectations for direct founder involvement in every project. Niching down. Another common scenario prompting a rebrand is when an agency decides to niche down its services. While owners might worry about alienating existing clients through rebranding, Jim notes that clients typically focus more on service quality and results than brand aesthetics. Rebranding is not merely a cosmetic change; it is a strategic decision that requires careful consideration. If your current brand fails to differentiate you from competitors or clearly communicate your value proposition and target audience, it could be time to rebrand. Success lies in approaching it as a strategic initiative, involving key stakeholders, and maintaining focus on innovation and market relevance. Ultimately, a well-executed rebrand not only revitalizes an agency's image but also reinforces its commitment to delivering exceptional value to clients in an ever-changing environment. Why Names Matter for Brand Differentiation If we look around, we're surrounded by big brands with names that didn't necessarily mean much before their success gave it meaning. For examlpe, did “google” even mean anything before 1998? It's natural to ask ourselves then if a name is really that important. For small businesses, yes, a name is very important because it's your opportunity to put something compelling out there, capture the audience's attention, and differentiate your business. Nowadays it's getting harder to name a corporation, as it seems the good names are all taken. This has led to a trend of using unconventional names, which, while potentially memorable, risk confusing potential clients. The balance between distinctiveness and clarity has become a critical consideration in the naming process. Jim's approach to rebranding starts with a name that is packed with meaning, is exciting to the client, and inspires them to put together a cohesive elevator pitch. A well-chosen name should serve as a foundation for effective storytelling, enabling businesses to communicate their value proposition clearly and memorably. Things to Consider Before Renaming Your Agency A name serves as the first point of contact between a brand and its audience and should encapsulate the essence of the agency's mission, values, and unique offerings. There's a lot of work to be done before landing on the perfect name, like understanding your differentiators, your promise to customers, and the legacy you want to leave. Understanding these elements correctly will help you come up with a clear brand promise and a word that represents that promise and brings it to light. Additionally, think about the type of word you want. Do you want a descriptive word? Do you want to coin a term? Or maybe borrow meanings from existing words that can be contextualized within the industry? Naming, therefore, becomes a strategic endeavor that requires a deep understanding of the agency's strengths and the value it offers to clients. Just remember the approval timeline associated with trademarking a name can take up to a year, which is why agencies should be confident in their chosen name and conduct a thorough review process, ensuring that it not only resonates with the brand's identity but is also legally viable.

Learn how to niche down and drive predictable growth. Today, we're diving into the secret weapon behind some of the world's fastest-growing companies niching down. We'll explore why businesses that specialize getting laser-focused on who they serve and how they serve them tend to grow faster and more sustainably. Joining me today is Joe Beecroft, one of the driving forces at Predictable Profits, where he's helped countless entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses. With a track record that includes helping 15 companies land on the Inc. 5000 list, Joe knows what it takes to succeed. He's here to share some incredible insights on how niching down can lead to massive growth. Let's get started! In this episode you will: Niching down allows businesses to focus on a specific audience, making marketing, sales, and operations more streamlined and effective. Specialized businesses tend to command higher prices and retain clients longer due to their expertise in solving targeted problems. Defining a clear market, specific problems, and a unique process creates a powerful foundation for scalable growth. Businesses that align their messaging and offerings with their "super consumers" see higher retention and referral rates. Trying to serve too broad a market leads to inefficiency and missed opportunities for deeper market penetration.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a lawyer who is looking for some advice on starting a firm? In this episode, Tyson interviews Ashley Garbe Smith, an attorney and founder of AGS Law, which specializes in dental transitions. Ashley shares her journey of starting her law firm during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.Ashley provides some insights on the benefits and lessons learned from narrowing a practice as it relates to running a law firm. For Ashley, who used to work in the dental field, niching down in the legal space to do dental transitions was a familiar thing. For those who are hoping to narrow down a practice field, it is good to think about areas you already have expertise in. Did you focus on a specific practice in law school? Did you spend a year articling for a specific lawyer and learned the ins and outs of that field? Play to your strengths when you are thinking about narrowing or niching down your firm.It is no surprise that lawyers are very busy and suffer from burnout quickly. Ashley and Tyson chat about the importance of self care for lawyers. Most lawyers wear many hats and dedicating time to self care will not only allow you to last longer in the business but have a better outlook on life. Schedule self care into your busy calendar and make it known to your colleagues the importance of it. This can help you stay on track to dedicating time to it and show others that it matters to you so they respect that time.Listen in to learn more from Ashley!03:01 Niche Practice Area Dynamics 04:58 Client Expectations in Niching 05:50 Benefits of Specialization 12:04 Challenges in Valuing Law Firms 13:08 Importance of Self-Care Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.Connect with Ashley:Website Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn
