You're good at the creative side. That's why people hire you. That's why the business exists.
But the more it grows, the less time you spend doing the work you started all this for.
You're hiring. You're managing. You're running point on every decision the team can't make without you.
The back end of the business has taken over the front end of your week. You don't have to keep doing it this way.
You hire someone to fix the back end and they come back with the most efficient, automated, beautifully integrated stack money can buy.
Workflows everywhere. Automations stacked on automations. A tech investment that's elegant on paper and wrong for the agency you're actually running.
The back end gets "fixed." The creative workflows ruined.
That's the gap Mynt was built to close. Strategy and execution, sized to your business, that protects the creative work instead of overwriting it.
Mynt stays small on purpose. As we grow, other things come off Valentina's plat but not the strategy work with clients.
Every agency we work with gets the strategist layer, regardless of package size.
Most contractor turnover is a fit problem, not a skills problem. We screen for working style and personality before we screen for technical chops. The skills are easier to find than the right human.
We don't just fix the symptom you brought us. We figure out what's underneath it, what it's connected to, and what's keeping it alive. Otherwise the same problem comes back in a different shape.
Business doesn't have to consume the rest of your life. Operational stability is what makes creative freedom possible for you, your team, and us.

She shares her strategic POV and has high standards.
I worked with Valentina on 3 technology workshops for Deloitte.
She's a great listener, dependable, shares her strategic POV, and has high standards for her work. I would definitely work with her again.

Always thinking bigger than I knew was possible
Every time the Mynt team set up a new system, they were always thinking bigger than I knew was possible. The team has been incredibly crucial to supporting our growth.
I came from music education. Taught composition, electronic music, digital literacy. But "music teacher" was never the full picture.
I was running programs, leading teams across the building, collaborating on audits and school improvement plans, handling the website, running social. I just didn't have a word for what any of that was.
Then I left teaching, accidentally started a content marketing agency, and hated it. 🤪
But my clients were patient enough to let me follow my curiosity inside their businesses. They invited me into leadership conversations. Gave me space to experiment.
Turns out I'd been running their operations the WHOLE. TIME. I just finally had language for it.
Now I run Mynt Collective, where I help accidental CEOs of creative agencies go from being the Chief Everything Officer to having an ops team run the day-to-day, so they can lead on their own terms.
💚 The long game? Mynt will fund scholarships and donate to arts programs.
I've always wanted my work to be a way of giving back to the arts. I'm still doing that, just supporting creatives at a different stage of life. As business owners instead of students.

They're our secret weapon
Mynt transformed my project management tool into a highly customized solution for our client.
Their knowledge, patience, attention to detail, and creative solutions were key in helping us take an out-of-the-box solution to the next level. They're our secret weapon.

One level removed from the madness of my brain
Things feel so much more organized from an ops standpoint, and it's great to have someone to run ideas by that's one level removed from the madness of my brain.

Great listeners and patient
Mynt is so great at operations and systems. They're great listeners and patient.
They listened to my needs for my design agency and helped me create systems that fit my business. I wish my brain worked like theirs.
If you're a creative in need of tools and software to save you time, keep you organized, and sane — hire Mynt.
When you grow an agency past a certain size, the path forks. You either run a high-volume play or you price yourself out of small business entirely.
Both paths break what makes Mynt work.
Volume requires sales and relationship management as full-time roles. That's overhead. Overhead raises prices. Higher prices, price out the small business's we built this for. Premium pricing skips small business entirely and chases enterprise work, which isn't fun for us.
So we stay small. The team stays tight, prices stay reasonable for the agencies we set out to serve, and the relationships we have with everyone in our circle stay real.
Mynt was started by a former music educator who never stopped wanting to give back to the arts. Eventually, Mynt will fund scholarships and donate to arts programs, supporting young creatives at the start of their careers.
We'll tell you what we'd look at first.
