Are you putting your authentic self across in your marketing? Is there something holding you back from telling your story?

James Martin, Founder of Made By James and Creative Partner at Lincoln Design Co. joins us in this episode to share his journey from accidental entrepreneur to successful agency owner.

Made By James was a beautiful accident. Once he began to tell his story and started to reveal the inner workings of his talent, James found himself picking up 100+ logo design clients a year through his content marketing. The money was coming in, but something was missing.

I last caught up with James at Adobe Max in 2023. At the time, his partnership with Lincoln Design Co. was a mere concept. Now, that partnership has come to fruition, and it’s been a match made in heaven.

We get the behind-the-scenes on how James has been able to get to where he is today. James opens up about his past and we learn how he has been able to take ownership of his flaws and channel them into positive outcomes. And he shares plenty of advice for agency owners who want to take things to the next level.

Covered in this episode:

How James Martin was able to overcome the challenges of his past and build a successful agency.
Becoming a creative partner and not just an order taker.
How social media has changed the creative business landscape.
How to be truly authentic on social media.
The behind-the-scenes on James’ partnership with Lincoln Design Co.
How James was able to shift to charging fair rates for his services.
Why creatives and agency owners aren’t sharing their stories and how they can overcome those blockers.
