Why Most Agencies Stay Broke with Ranmay Rath

I recently sat down with Ranmay Rath on the eCoffee with Experts podcast to talk about what it really takes to scale a creative agency sustainably—without burning out your team or rebuilding every project from scratch.

We dug into the evolution of Forge and Smith, and how that journey led to the creation of Refoundry: a low-code delivery platform that helps agencies streamline execution, empower non-dev team members, and finally get out of survival mode.

In this episode, we covered:

  • Why custom development was holding our agency back
  • How we replaced bottlenecks with repeatable, flexible systems
  • The role of low-code in helping teams scale without losing creative freedom
  • Lessons I wish I’d learned sooner about process, delegation, and agency leadership

It was a candid and practical conversation, and I’m excited to share it with anyone building (or rebuilding) an agency with efficiency and longevity in mind.
