Scaling with Soul: Building a Authentic Content Agency with Fiona Bradley

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Fiona Bradley, the founder of FB Comms. Fiona shares the incredible story of how she accidentally started her Leeds-based boutique content marketing agency during the 2020 lockdown after a client contract ended. What began as a solo freelance venture quickly snowballed, leading to a team of 16 freelancers before she formalized the business into the full-service agency it is today.

Fiona opens up about her unique approach to client acquisition through omnipresent organic networking and LinkedIn engagement, her philosophy on working with "fun" brands to create scroll-stopping content, and the critical lessons learned from scaling too fast. She discusses the current focus on building airtight, standardized processes to ensure quality and replicability, all with the goal of creating a business that can thrive independently.
