Today’s Productivity Stack: Danielle Reid

This week's Productivity Stack story comes from Danielle Reid who built her business while being a mom, and not just a mom and CEO, a nursing-the-baby on Zoom CEO. Her view? “We’re just going to get it done.” Not only that, she focused on authentic value systems to grow her business and forming bonds with her clients.

Prior to starting her own business, Danielle Reid was an accomplished marketing professional at a big six advertising agency. She worked with Fortune 500 companies, creating and managing campaigns for huge global brands like Nissan, Starbucks, and Coca-Cola. But she reached a point where she felt she could do more outside the confines of a corporate environment.

In late 2019, Reid launched her own marketing agency, DR and Associates, to focus on what she felt was an underserved niche of smaller businesses and nonprofits. Her business grew through the COVID pandemic, landed six-figure contracts, and scaled to a team of 14 full-time staff by 2023!

We sat down with Founder and Executive Director Danielle Reid to talk about her journey growing and scaling her agency and what systems, tools, and people were instrumental to their success.

Check out the challenges she faced, her detailed solutions, and swipe her Productivity Stack in our interview case study.
