We work with companies all over the world, not just clients in Springfield, but we love working with local businesses as much as our international clients. We have clients located in Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Africa and the United States.
What is the biggest challenge facing your organization now, and how are you working to overcome that challenge?
Dealing with two years of the pandemic and recession has been our biggest challenge. We have been fortunate to be positioned in a growth industry during this time with many businesses shifting to e-commerce platforms and allocating more money to digital marketing.
What is the best business advice you’ve ever been given?
Don’t just build a company you love, but build a company that comes natural to your core strengths. There have been some tough times and difficult decisions we have had to make over the past couple of years. If you feel you must love your company at every step the weight of the company can become unbearable and will lead to disappointment, paralysis in decision making and failure. If the work comes natural, even in tough times, it will allow you to build upon your core strengths to sustain and even grow your company.
