Description

How do you create a highly efficient agency without losing flexibility or quality?

In this episode, Harv Nagra sits down with Jinny Mitchell-Kent, Joint Managing Director at Great State. With nearly 20 years of experience at agencies big and small—including global powerhouse AKQA—Jinny shares how she’s applying lessons from her big-agency days to a 100-person team.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• How moving from COO to MD changed her focus from internal projects to building client relationships, while maintaining her focus on performance and excellence.
• The strategies Great State uses to compete with much larger agencies by staying lean and adaptable – from scaling up the team quickly when required, to creating a flexible delivery framework.
• Practical tips on managing costs, tracking profitability, and keeping teams running smoothly.
• How Jinny is championing inclusivity with initiatives like the Great Women’s Network.
