In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, host Ranmay sits down with Jeremie Durand, Founder / Business Development Manager at Beanstalk – Growth Marketing, to explore how he built a thriving remote-first digital agency from the ground up.
Jeremie reveals the challenges and breakthroughs of growing an agency without a physical office, how his team uses a virtual office system to foster collaboration and communication, and why company culture and core values have been key to client retention.
