When Starting Your Own Agency is the Way to Go

After a handful of years in advertising, Industry Heroes Adam Puncochar, Nichol Hadler, and Jordan Hadler decided they wanted more. While they liked the agencies they had worked for, they couldn't find exactly what they wanted or needed so they decided to make it. 

Enter Joyce. These three Creatives - Nichol a Copywriter, Adam and Jordan the Designers - created an agency where they could work directly for their clients and get involved in all facets of the advertising process. When speaking to the students, they talked about the steps they went through in branching off on their won, as well as the ups and downs they've experienced - everything from winning their first account, to losing their first RFP (Request for Proposal.) All three of them credited the contacts they had made during their agency years for their ability to get Joyce up and running successfully. Yet another endorsement for that whole "don't burn bridges" advice we all hear... 

Thank you to all three of them for wrapping up our Industry Hero series for Fall quarter! We enjoyed Mikey the Boston Terrier puppy making an appearance as well. Everyone should have an office dog like her!
