Govind Shepley, owner of Twentyone06, explores how leaner is meaner when coping with the COVID-19 downturn

Small business owner Govind shares an insight into how his bespoke design agency is eliminating negativity in the face of adversity, focusing within and challenging his existing methods, throughout COVID-19.
“Grasping the neck of creativity during difficult times is crucial for survival when being an owner of a small business. The previous year saw my team diving headfirst into creating new F&B concepts, injecting life into existing ones diving into new markets and curating a collection of winning client testimonials, so we anticipated much the same for 2020. We raced into this year signing one to two projects a month and with several in the pipeline, something I consider to be a fantastic achievement for a small agency. From the offset, we had hunger for more in 2020 and COVID 19 hasn’t changed that.
