You can’t not deliver. You’ve got to come through on your promises, so find another way, even if it’s not what you thought you were going to do.
About Drew
- Growing up, he loved coding and had the goal of one day making video games.
- Attended Old Dominion University where he graduated with his degree in computer science.
- Throughout college, he worked for different departments on campus to help them make websites.
- He learned how to program in Flash and created a website promoting his ability to create websites.
- After he started getting a lot of clients, he decided to hire an additional web designer who helped him tackle the workload.
- Eventually, this “side gig” turned into a full-fledged business—his first client was his favorite band, which then led to him creating websites and promotional materials for other entertainers.
- In 2006, he rebranded the company as Grow Interactive, hired a few more employees, and began working on building out their client base.
- Grow is now an industry-leading creative agency that has worked with clients such as Google, Spotify, and EA Games, and has received top honors in international award shows like the Cannes Lions.
