The Handbook: The Agency Operations Podcast

Our new podcast The Handbook: The Agency Operations Podcast endeavours to create more community for agency operations people – a place where we can hear from our peers and other experts on best practice, experiments, successes and sometimes failures – and also a place to celebrate our journeys into operations.
Before we kick off with the interview series, Harv Nagra, our host, and former agency operations leader talk about his own journey into operations.

Agency folks, welcome to The Handbook: Trailer

Agency ops can be lonely – you might be the only person in your agency that works in operations, and you might end up having to figure things out on your own – rather than having a team of people to support you and bounce ideas off of.
That’s where our new podcast, The Handbook: The Agency Operations podcast comes in.
We’ll be talking to fellow experts and operations leaders about agency life – discussing the challenges keeping us up at night, as well as strategies that help make things run a little bit smoother.
Each episode, we'll have a guest speaker who brings a fresh perspective and gives us plenty of food for thought.
