This Week's Agency Insights

Every week, we share content to help you run your agency business.

What's Top of Mind

  • ​Good doctors are patient-centric, not patient-pleasing. – The same applies to agencies. Here's how to shift from inside-out to outside-in across five dimensions of your business.
  • πŸ“‹ You're shaping what we build next. We've read every response so far. Ivona and the team have already jotted down summer podcast topics based on what you've shared. And, we're also expanding into new formats like Instagram and TikTok as a result! If you haven't weighed in yet, now's the time. 5 minutes. It means the world.

Thanks for telling us who you are.

Add "AgencyHabits" in notes to claim the pricing.

"VeraOps helped me reconnect with people I genuinely wanted to talk to but had simply lost touch with over time. It’s a simple idea, executed thoughtfully, and it’s already changed how I approach business development." -- Mark DePace, Co-Founder & CCO at Ghost Robot, an integrated creative studio for Google, Arhaus, Away.
