Rise of the micro-agency continues
Today Stephen Davies (aka PRblogger.com) joins the growing list of former agency digital PR peeps to launch their own specialist agencies/consultancies with new venture 3WPR. I did the same in March this year with Shed and I haven’t looked back since. Yes, it’s a bit scary and strange at first but you soon get used to working differently and dealing with all that extra stuff that comes with setting up on your own.
Personally, I absolutely love the freedom and flexibility it gives you in your work. Since setting up Shed I’ve had the time to meet loads of really smart people, start working with a few of them and even cook up my own ideas for some web based things. As well as doing all that social media and digital stuff that I genuinely love.
Good luck Stephen and thanks for calling Shed disruptive.
PS It was Ged that called Shed a micro-agency and it’s kind of stuck in my mind.

I'm a digital creative/strategist/doer that blogs about all kinds of stuff that usually involves brands, digital marketing, technology or cats.
Congratulations Stephen, and also Jonathan – nice site btw!
These recession hit times are definitely the right moment to start this sort of venture…although I’d like to believe there is still room for us medium sized independents

renaissance chambara | Ged Carroll - Jargon Watch: Micro-agency
[...] Micro-agency: this is one that Jonathan Hopkins picked up that I came up with when talking about his agency Shed. It was a blatant steal on the concept of micro-brewery – a small brewing pilot-plant based business that competes in a niche, specialism or on quality with larger more-efficient brewing operations. To me the analogy for agencies was obvious, smaller and more dynamic than even a boutique agency, but bringing more to the table for clients than a freelancer with a good tax accountant; the trick is picking out the micro-agencies from around the industry.
