A tale of two agencies with Atomic Smash - Behind the Screens #8

This week Nic and Nat sit down (remotely, of course) with Piers and Dave from Atomic Smash - a Bristol-based specialist WordPress and WooCommerce studio. CookiesHQ and Atomic Smash are nearly the same age, and have had very similar journeys towards similar goals, so they dig deep into this alignment.

Piers and Dave started Atomic Smash fresh out of university, where they’d met and become best friends. They share their experience of building a business with someone you have a close relationship or friendship with, and share their tips for ensuring that dynamic stays healthy.

This interview is right off the back of Atomic Smash’s 10th birthday and a fresh rebrand - Nic and Nat quiz Piers and Dave on the the what and the why, and how this new look goes beyond the cosmetic and puts their brand values front and centre.

The group share their experiences of working together in the early days of each agency, as well as taking on that first member of staff, moving through to how they’re presently engaged in growing and strengthening a team remotely.

Finally, they close by reflecting on how difficult it is to avoid the pitfalls of comparing yourself to other agencies as you grow, and their plans for the next 10 fantastic years of Atomic Smash.
