“Internally, one thing I’m trying to push is not really getting comfortable with things. Something that’s very easy to do is, you get defensive of the way you do things and your view of the world… which prevents you from evolving, especially with SEO & content!”A big hello to all of you once again! In today’s special edition “bucket-hat episode” of the Flying Cat Marketing podcast, I chat with Nigel Stevens, CEO of OGM (Organic Growth Marketing).

He shares with us his experience of working with big start-ups, taking ownership for the right reasons, and his approach towards striking the right balance when it comes to hiring on both ends, the people he works with as well as the clients associated with OGM.
Nigel has this special gift of being chilled out and quite profound at the same time in how he expresses himself, which makes our conversation so interesting from the get-go. The icing on the cake in this episode is that it also features ‘Buddy’ the flying cat, who apparently agrees with Nigel’s ideas from time to time!
In this episode we talk about:
- Tips for landing new clients
- Importance of sticking to basics
- Regular introspection of work as an agency
- “It’s not done for you, it’s done with you”; a perspective
- Setting strategic directions to review the work being done
