Have you ever fired big-name clients or let go of 80% of your team… on purpose? In this episode of the series 'Agency Success Stories - The Inside Track', I sit down with Gilad Bechar, founder & CEO of world-renowned, mobile-first growth agency Moburst, with clients including Google, YouTube, Uber, Dropbox, Samsung, and more. On the outside, Moburst looks like the dream: global brands, awards, acquisitions. But Gilad takes us behind the scenes to the messy middle: the year they were quietly bleeding cash, and the brutal decisions that followed. Firing big brand clients and cutting the team from 50 to 12 so the agency could survive and the painful reset that led to 230% YOY growth and then triple digit growth using startups as a lab to test ideas fast before rolling them out to giants like Google and Samsung. If you’re an agency or consultancy founder wrestling with profit, positioning, visibility, or the pressure to ‘go bigger’, this conversation is a very real look at what it actually takes to scale an agency that lasts.
