As we grow our studio, we want to allow both our good and bad experiences, and necessity to shape our agency's identity and processes.
Here's how we've started to define our brand in line with such a flexible future vision.

In preparation for our first project pitch we have a new homepage which is a bit more client-centric and we've shifted a few pages around on the site.
Wish us luck... 🤞

Currently working on a dashboard to display some #open metrics. 📈
Turns out it's a good exercise for figuring out what and how we should be tracking things internally.
"What gets measured gets done"
Transparent companies are becoming more popular, but it's a trend still limited mainly to #openstartup SaaS platforms. We think that these ideas can be applied to the context of an agency to increase trust and openly share what we learn.

We'll start as we mean to go on, which means our #craftcms website is open source 🌟
Feel free to do whatever you want with it. Just don't steal the photos of our faces to use in hilarious photoshops 😬

We have chosen to work fully remote from the outset (even though we both live in Manchester) and were heavily influenced by companies like @GitLab. Here are some of their reasons for going all-in on remote: buff.ly/2PBSYB2
We're serious about this transparency thing. We'll be recording everything we do in a timeline which will always be available on our website.
Imagining this page in 12 months' time is 😍

We've already started creating our TBD handbook and it's completely public 🎉
Eventually this will contain all of our internal processes so you can see how we do what we do

First job, figure out what to do next...
☑️ Website
☑️ Social accounts
☑️ Mailing list
➡️ Incorporate / accountant?
➡️ Insurance?
➡️ Go large 💰 on advertising?
Yo, @mattgrayisok and I are launching @tbdstudio
We’re creating a remote web design studio that uses transparency to keep it in check and moves forward based on its positive and negative experiences.
Check it out!
