Business
The world of publishing has changed drastically since The Agora started as a direct mailing company, nearly 40 years ago, in a small office in Baltimore.
Today, what began as a simple idea driven by a small group of passionate people has grown into a publishing powerhouse with a global footprint covering all corners of the world — Australia, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
In today’s The Big Idea podcast, Grant Perry speaks with The Agora’s International CEO, Erika Nolan and International Publisher Catherine Flannery about their vision for further global expansion and positioning The Agora as a group of international premiere media companies.
Some of the new territories that Erika and Catherine are looking to break into in the next 24 months include Japan, Poland, Mexico, and Italy… to name a few.
Establishing a new business in a foreign country will always be unchartered territory, even when following a clear (albeit unique) business model. However, if there is one thing that Erika and Catherine know, then it is that the success of this global vision depends on finding the right candidates — individuals with a certain caliber of talent and skill, and who can fold fluidly into a team of highly competitive people and begin contributing immediately.
