Episode #52: Carrie Reagh & Patric Fransko – Social Mint & Eye Magnet Management

Carrie Reagh of Social Mint and Patric Fransko of Eye Magnet Management join the show for a special Cleveland agency roundtable edition to share how they started their agencies out of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. This is a true 21st-century episode: Carrie and I first met on Instagram via the #directmail hashtag, and Carrie and Patric first met via the #chagrinfalls hashtag. Thus began fantastic business relationships, and naturally over time Carrie connected Patric and I. It was super cool meeting up in person at Patric’s amazing Eye Magnet Management office in Chagrin Falls, a short drive away from where I grew up. This also marks the first ever Wild Business Growth Podcast to feature 2 guests from different companies. Carrie is one of the most friendly, intelligent, creative, and thoughtful leaders you’ll ever meet. Patric is incredibly insightful, ambitious, resourceful, and generous. This episode covers everything from what’s surprised them about entrepreneurship to the best restaurants in Cleveland. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

  • How Carrie runs Social Mint while working another full-time job
  • Patric’s background in the Navy
  • Their favorite client projects
  • Why the morning is best for creativity
  • What they’re most excited about in the marketing world
  • Why having a contrarian view can boost creativity
  • What Domino’s and Budweiser do so well in terms of marketing strategy
  • Why Patric spells his name without a “k”
