I launched my own production consultancy a lil while back. Part rep shop/part production co. Taking on projects that could provide value to agency and brands. Things like micro websites, web apps, online ads. We’ve even taken on some video projects for agency case studies. Keeps the lights on. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for getting a better quality pipeline of projects? Preferably direct to small brand clients. Any tools you might recommend? HubSpot inbound make any difference?
