When Jeremy Carey thinks about growth, he thinks in terms of caliber and scale of projects – not monster overheads. Instead, for him and his business, Ironclad, it’s about culture, influence and the type of content that’s going to impact society.
How do you make it happen? You can always track growth back to a relationship. As founder of Ironclad, a digital cinema agency, Jeremy works with his team to make sure every touchpoint with the agency – from emails to swag to social media – is best in the world.
In this episode, Jeremy shares –
- Why a smaller city should never limit your growth potential
