Hi, I'm Mark. That's me eating a dole whip. For two decades, I've lived and breathed agency life. Now, I'm making the experience better for as many people as possible.

I was the third employee at Metalab, an award-winning agency which now employs hundreds. I've also held senior roles at growing agencies in sales, account management, and operations.

Nowadays, I help digital agency owners grow their dream agencies through my consultancy, Tamaribuchi. I've helped dozens of entrepreneurs start off on the right foot, and I hope this book helps you.
