FRAME AGENCY IS 1!

Reflecting on our First Year in Business as a Creative Agency

As we celebrate our first year in business, we are filled with gratitude for all that we have accomplished over the last 12 months - It’s been an adventure!

The journey has been both exciting and educational, marked by valuable lessons and some inevitable mistakes. But most importantly, the love we have for what we do and the incredible clients we've had the privilege to work with. We'd like to take you through our journey and share some of the insights we've gained along the way.

3 Lessons we learned these last 12 months:

1. Networking is Key: Building strong relationships with other businesses, both in our industry and beyond, has been invaluable. Networking has not only opened doors to new opportunities but also provided us with a supportive community.

2. Continuous Learning: The world of branding and marketing is dynamic, and staying updated with the latest trends and tools is crucial. We've learned that continuous learning is a necessity to provide the best services to our clients.

3. Learning to Adapt: Our first year taught us the value of adaptability. The business landscape is ever-changing, and being able to pivot and adjust our strategies in response to client needs and market shifts has been essential.

& 3 Mistakes Made…

1. Working for ‘free’: This may have been us being really eager to get started, but we made the mistake of starting projects before getting paid which put us in some awkward situations. Note to self: ALWAYS get paid before any design work is done.

2. Not niching down: We wanted to keep our options open as we started and work with lots of different clients/businesses. This wasn’t a bad thing because it gave us a lot of experiences in different industries, but it made it challenging when it came to our brand messaging and finding our ideal client.

3. Doing TOO many things: As a team of 3, all with different skill sets, we offer a wide range of services. But this is also confusing for our audience. Always stick to the “less is more” motto when it comes to your services.

Our Love for the Work

Despite the challenges, we are deeply passionate about the work we do. The love we have for branding and content creation is what fuels us and pushes us to create amazing results for our clients. We love that we have the opportunity to help businesses establish their unique identity, tell their stories, and connect with their audiences.

Clients We've Been Fortunate to Work With

One of the most rewarding aspects of our first year in business has been the incredible clients we've had the pleasure of collaborating with. From startups with innovative ideas to established businesses looking to refresh their brand, each client has brought a unique challenge and an inspiring vision. We cherish the relationships we've built and the trust our clients have placed in us. They have not only made our journey fulfilling but have also given us the chance to witness their growth and success as a result of our efforts. Check out some of these client projects here.

Conclusion

Overall, our first year as an agency has been a wild ride! But through it all, our love for what we do and the genuine connections we've formed with our clients have been the driving forces behind our growth and success. As we look ahead to the future, we are excited about the opportunities to continue helping businesses build strong, memorable brands and are grateful for the journey that has brought us to this point.

Thank you for being a part of our story, and we can't wait to see what the next year will bring.
