In this special episode of The Big Swing, our host Sam Barcroft, is joined by one of his key business partners from Barcroft Studios, Chief Creative Officer Alex Morris to relieve the highs and lows of growing - and then selling - Barcroft Studios.
The company was founded in 2003 in Sam’s spare bedroom in Tottenham, London in 2003. With a background as a picture editor for UK tabloid press, Sam’s goal was to create a picture agency that would break global news stories. Little did anyone know that the company that Sam & Alex would sell for millions of pounds in 2019 would be a multi-award winning, multi-media digital production company and agency that had pioneered original online content for a global audience of millions, and perfected the art of leveraging that short-form expertise to create world renowned long form documentaries for the likes of Netflix and the BBC.
In this episode:
How hard is diversification - balancing cash flow and commercial risk … the importance of culture - intangible aspects of the business (like office space) … the pros and cons of raising money for your business
