Key insights from the founder of a 22 year old business
Season 1, Ep. 68

In 1999 while studying Computer Science at Exeter University, Alastair Banks started a digital marketing agency (Optix Solutions). 22 years on, he is still in business with a team of almost 20 covering all aspects of ‘Digital' and are recognised as one of the leading agencies in the UK.
Building that company from 5k to ¾ of a million turnover, he focused heavily on his personal brand.
