Resources: ReCourses

ReCourses

ReCourses - David Baker has been working with creative service firms as a business management consultant since 1994. He has been a frequent speaker at industry conferences such as HOW, AIGA, PRSA, Counselors Academy, and MYOB, and a frequent contributor to industry publication like Critique, CA, HOW, and Creative Business.

I myself, like many people who set out to start an agency or design firm, knew more about art and design than business management and financial measures. But any service business, like an advertising agency, is a business, and it’s not easy to run a successful one. David is a proven business management expert, but his specialized understanding of the creative services industry makes him unique to help agencies and design firms run like the professional firms they ought to be.

I’ve hired David both for Newfangled and to guide me as I established AgencyCritique. This resource post would certainly also fall into the “recommendation” category if his services were specifically oriented to web strategy. Nevertheless ReCourses is a recommended service to any agency that needs help keeping the ship on course.
