Wake Up Call: 9 lessons learned leading a digital agency through several years of rapid growth
BCI Webinar
9 years ago Ryan accepted a role to join Dan Fallon and team at a small independent PPC agency in Bath called SearchStar.
Over the course of the next 5 years the team grew from 18 to 60, they multiplied revenue by 4 times, retained profitability levels and successfully sold to a Global Localisation company.

Our usual online format is an interactive ‘meeting’ but for this series we’re running webinars so that it’s easy to listen in while prepping for the day ahead or while having your breakfast! Cameras and mics will be off but you can ask your questions through the chat box or submit them beforehand.
