Brand Design Masters - Personal Branding, Creative Entrepreneurship, Small Business Marketing & Career Success for Designers and Content Creators21 Mars 2022

Daniel Clydesdale & Eilidh Dunsire - Creating and marketing a successful interactive website design agency

Most agencies use the expected social media platforms to promote themselves, but this couple took a different path from the usual Facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin posts to help them find potential clients. In choosing to leverage their Youtube channel “Design Break” they’ve been creating a different kind of buzz.

In this episode we chat about:

• How they use social media platforms to promote their brand

• Why they chose to jump “across the pond” to America rather than focusing on larger clients closer to home in the UK

• Splitting their time to give equal focus to both their agencies offices

• How they maintain strong ongoing relationships with their clients

• What a typical projects is for Dunclyde

• How they balance having their husband/wife arm-in-arm process and including clients in their process

• Niching down their category focus to 2 main industries

• How tech startups focus on features rather than benefits to their peril

• What’s it’s like to work with your spouse in an agency setting

• How having a personal time away from work and from each other helps in setting boundaries

• How they achieve psychological distance between work life and home life, especially during COVID

• How they manage global time differences to work with their team in California

• Why they dropped some of their social media platforms and leaned into Youtube

• How they create video content that helps their audience with Webflow features

• How setting a strict schedule to video content creation helps in achieving better content

• How to overcome the struggles in building an agency
