About Matt Scaysbrook

Hey, I'm Matt :) In 2017, I switched from freelancer to agency owner. I went on to sell that agency after 7 years of working with clients like GoDaddy, Nando’s, Sage & Twinings. I know what it takes to switch, and also what it takes to make that switch a success. (through a lot of painful experiences!) I started freelancing in 2013. Took almost 4 years for me to take the leap into running an agency. I had no support and no clue what I was doing. And the biggest mistake I made was to think that doing it alone was a smart move. My agency really started to take off when I started to talk to other people. Other first-time owners, experienced owners, exited owners, you name it. All people who knew things I didn't and were willing to share just to help me out. Now I want to return the favour. So when you’re looking to go from freelance to agency, don't do it alone.
