The latest episode of our nineteen Unfiltered video series is now live, featuring Matt Franks, MD of DRPG UK and chief operating officer of DRPG Group.
In a candid conversation, Matt reflects on stepping into his new leadership roles following the group’s recent board restructure, and what it means personally to manage the UK business – taking the reins from founder Dale Parmenter in the role.
We discuss how DRPG is navigating a period of international expansion and organisational change, the importance of communication and culture as businesses scale, and the leadership challenges that come with making difficult decisions.
Matt also shares his perspective on the differences between the UK and US markets and staying focused on DRPG’s own goals in the rapidly evolving agency landscape.
Watch the episode now. And stay tuned for our final nineteen Unfiltered episode of Series 1 next week.
