I was running a small creative studio in Moldova. We were generalists doing motion design and live action for everybody. Video for brands, as they say. Most of our work was international, but none of it came from a system. Clients found us, referred us, brought us in. A US studio brought us in on the marketing for their NASA project (opens in a new tab) that way. Good work kept arriving without a system. And one day it stopped. So it goes. I was not running a small creative studio anymore.
Later, working with the Creative Industries Association of Moldova (COR), I saw the same challenges appear across creative businesses from small markets. Pretty much everyone in such circumstances made the mistakes we did with our studio. Mostly lack of positioning and sales systems. This insight is what later became the Move to Market Strategy and led to me founding the MTM Network—a community of creative studios that run their studios in a conscious, data-driven way.
