Hi everyone,

I hope the beginning of January is not hitting you too hard and that your marketing budget is as big as can beโ€ฆprobably not.

In this episode, we dive deep into the future of work with our guest, Raffi Salama, the co-founder of Passionfruit, a marketplace that connects top freelance marketing talent with businesses ranging from startups to global giants like PepsiCo.

Some key takeaways:

  • The Future of Work: Raffi shares his vision of a future where freelancers can thrive without being tied to a traditional company structure.

  • Passionfruit's Journey: Raffi takes us through the journey of Passionfruit, from its inception to becoming the fastest-growing marketing freelancer platform.

  • Challenges in Freelancing: We touch on the challenges of finding and hiring freelancers and how Passionfruit is making the process easier for companies, while also creating opportunities for individuals who may not have a vast network to leverage.

  • Company Culture and Growth: Raffi emphasizes the importance of building a team that cares deeply about the domain and shares how Passionfruit has been strategic in its growth by initially targeting startups before moving on to larger enterprises.

  • Supply and Demand Dynamics: The conversation covers the balance between supply (freelancers) and demand (businesses) in the marketplace and how Passionfruit is navigating the shift from being demand-constrained to potentially becoming supply-constrained as they scale.
