   Empowering small creative studios to secure ideal clients and grow sustainablyWith my co-founder, Sean Doyle, we’re dedicating ourselves to helping founders of small creative shops thrive in a world where revenue instability, undervaluation, and unpredictable client demand often hold them back. Drawing on 30 years of agency experience and decades of behavioral science research, I’ve developed transformative methodologies that empower purpose-driven founders to grow their businesses with confidence and clarity.My role is equal parts strategist, mentor, and problem-solver. From leading high-impact workshops to building peer-led cohorts, I work closely with agency founders to uncover growth opportunities, streamline client acquisition, and position themselves as indispensable partners to their clients.At Slingshot, everything we do is rooted in empathy and practicality. I understand the challenges of wearing multiple hats as a founder because I’ve been there. That’s why we\'re not bringing you the consulting model of throwing something over the wall and sailing off into the sunset - we\'re dedicated to making founders\' lives easier by solving one of the most pressing and important problems facing creative shops, and we\'re going to walk toward that goal with you every step of the way in our community.
