This week, we celebrate the small businesses doing the quiet, essential, extraordinary work.
The ones who never had the luxury of inefficiency — so they got really, really good at what matters.
They move faster because they have to. They stay closer to their clients because they want to. They invest in fewer people, more deeply, because they know that's where results actually come from.
Small isn't a limitation. For some, it's a deliberate decision — a commitment to keeping people at the center of everything.
We recently wrote about how the agency model is shifting and what we keep coming back to: the best partner isn't the biggest. It's the one who shows up with curiosity, capable and ready to align from day one.

Happy National Small Business Week to every team punching above their weight — with care, clarity and conviction.
