Best Practices for Cold Outreach with Ross MacRae

Episode notes

Cold outreach is tough, but necessary. Whether you’re in commercial film production or working inside an agency, building relationships with new clients is key to staying in business. To break down what actually works, Ross MacRae, founder of Agency Source and a veteran in lead generation, joins the show for a back-and-forth exchange of cold outreach best practices. Together, we trade insights on what’s working, what’s not, and what to flat-out avoid. From LinkedIn and email to other methods tailored for creative teams and production companies, this episode offers a sharp, tactical breakdown of real-world outreach strategies. It’s a practical, punchy conversation built from experience, mistakes, and a few strong opinions.
