🔑 Key Takeaways
- Parker’s agency journey started with Facebook Ads and a beer with the founder of BrüMate.
- Being good at media buying doesn’t make you ready to run an agency—operations, hiring, and leadership are critical.
- Building the right team was the biggest unlock: hiring smarter people, building pods, and using strengths-based org design.
- The shift from freelancer to agency took nearly two years and required serious rethinking of roles and SOPs.
- Creative is now the most powerful performance lever—media buying alone can’t scale brands anymore.
- Tuff Media operates using a pod system to maximize quality, communication, and client satisfaction.
- Success came from creating systems for growth—particularly paid acquisition with strong creative hooks.
- Parker emphasizes focusing on “what works” (70%), adjacent opportunities (20%), and innovation (10%)—inspired by Google’s strategy.
- Great agency culture and strong client relationships reduce churn and increase retention.
