Do you like the idea of starting your own creative agency, but don’t know where to start? Does the idea of having staff and offices put you off? Are you worried that you lack the necessary business-savvy? And do you fear that it will consume your every waking hour? Then this is the book for you.
When John Ashton started an agency from his kitchen table in 2012, he had no clients, no cash and, worst of all, no clue. Yet within a few years he had hit half a million pounds turnover and had a huge roster of clients. Better still it was a lifestyle business that really worked for him – he only worked a 25-hour week and was better off and happier than in his previous solo career.
The key to his success was building a fully flexible agency model that utilised remote-working freelancers. He calls it the KitchenTable Method.
