I wanna talk a bit about that, about your agency, and when you started Serfina, what parts of that big agency model did you know you didn't wanna recreate?
6:23
That's a good question.

I think there's an element of, I think- Things have been evolving for years, well before the age of AI, from a measure twice, cut once, to use the carpenter analogy, and kinda carefully build to the more iterative approach.
6:38
Like, you know, with especially digital forms of marketing, y- we can be more iterative and learn on the fly and adapt on the fly.
6:44
But that's also easier said than done, 'cause a lot of the larger agencies are set up from a systems standpoint not to be as nimble and not to be able to iterate and rebuild and reformulate as efficiently, especially when you have people spread across a number of different parts of the business and, and less able to focus and dedicate themselves.
7:03
So it becomes easier to talk about, easy to talk about being iterative and kinda responding and reacting on the fly to what we're learning in real time, basically having a perpetual test and learn mindset, if you will.
7:15
But on a s- in a smaller, more nimble setting, we can actually execute on that and actually be in real time iterating and updating and evolving, uh, work that's in market.
