  Why My Agency Doesn't Sell Packages

  Sep 28, 202626 min

  Packages sound simple: give clients a few options, let them pick what they need, and make the sales process easier. So why has Whitney spent years running an agency without them? In this episode, Whitney gets into the age-old agency debate around packages and why they can create more problems than they solve. She breaks down why PR agencies need to look beyond a list of deliverables, what clients are really paying for, and why letting a client prescribe their own marketing strategy can get you into trouble.

  The REAL Reason I Can Work From Anywhere

  Sep 21, 202626 min

  What if you could spend three months traveling through Europe without taking three months off work? In this episode, Whitney gets candid about what it actually takes to run an agency while working from wherever you want. She shares how she structures her days while traveling, why she treats work hours like she would in a traditional office, and how strong systems allow her team to operate without her hovering over every task. Because working from anywhere sounds glamorous, but the freedom to make your own schedule only works if you’re willing to give yourself a strong structure.

  Sep 14, 202627 min

  Every client has critics. But what happens when those critics become organized, persistent, and loud enough to potentially influence decision makers? In this candid episode, Whitney tackles one of the more challenging realities of PR: representing a client when people are actively working against them. She explains how to understand what the opposition actually wants, turn their criticism into better messaging and keep control of the narrative when going silent feels like the easiest option. Most importantly, Whitney explains why transparency, professionalism, and consistency are your best tools when the haters get loud. Connect with Whitney on Instagram Connect with Whitney on LinkedIn

  Living Abroad for 90 Days Changed How I Run my Agency

  Sep 7, 202632 min

  What happens when you take your business out of its normal environment for an entire summer? You start noticing things you probably would’ve missed sitting at your desk. After spending the summer working and traveling across Europe, Whitney came home with a different perspective on how she works, how her team operates, and how brands connect with people. In this episode, Whitney breaks down what her first real experience with digital nomadism taught her about productivity, communication, team dynamics, and her role as a business owner. She also digs into the differences she noticed between European and American consumer culture, and how stepping outside your usual environment can make you question which parts of your business are truly strategic and which ones are just habits you’ve gotten very comfortable with. In This Episode, We Cover: What working from Europe revealed about Whitney’s habits, productivity, and role as a business owner How travel and time-zone differences can expose strengths and weaknesses in team communication The consumer and branding differences Whitney noticed between Europe and the U.S. Why stepping outside your normal environment can challenge assumptions about how your business “has” to operate What Whitney learned from testing out the digital nomad lifestyle while still running a company If you’re building a business and occasionally wondering whether the way you’re doing things is actually the best way, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

  The Huge Opportunity I Almost Passed On

  Not every client is the right client. The sooner you learn to spot red flags—and trust your instincts—the less time, money, and energy you'll waste trying to force the wrong fit. Using two very different client experiences from this summer, Whitney breaks down what she looks for before saying yes, the conversations that reveal whether a partnership will actually work, and why protecting your team is just as important as winning new business. In This Episode, We Cover: The client red flags you shouldn't ignore Why thorough vetting saves bigger problems later How honest conversations set better expectations from the start The impact difficult clients can have on team morale How to make smarter client decisions with long-term growth in mind If you've ever questioned whether to take on a client or walk away, this episode offers practical guidance to help you make that decision with more confidence.
