The Changing Landscape of Agency Work

The podcast discusses the shift in agency work from traditional in-house teams to a hybrid structure that includes contractors and fractional team members. Historically, agencies relied on full-time employees and specialists, all working together in a single location. However, with advancements in technology and the changing needs of clients, agencies have increasingly embraced a mix of full-time staff and outside experts to stay competitive. This adaptation allows agencies to offer a wider range of expertise and respond more quickly to sophisticated client demands.
