It is the start of a new era for Agency Mavericks in 2026! In this season opener, Troy Dean sits down with Taylor McMaster, founder of DOT & Company. Taylor shares her incredible journey from a frustrated agency owner to creating a "category of one" by specializing in fractional account management. We also dive deep into the recent breaking news: DOT & Company has been acquired by E2M Solutions.
In this episode, you will learn the critical difference between a struggling generalist agency and a scalable specialist. Taylor reveals the math behind successful account management (hint: 80 clients is too many), how to maintain premium service standards, and why her due diligence process during the acquisition was actually a breeze. Plus, we discuss how AI is shaping the future of client services and why playing the long game is your biggest competitive advantage.
