Episode Details

We unpack what actually helps you succeed in your first 90 days at a fast agency and why “dazzle” often backfires. We share the boring basics that build trust, how to handle culture shock, and what to do if your probation period ends with a no.

Key Takeaways:

• The first 90 days in a new job are about risk reduction, not trying to dazzle
• Reliability is the fastest way to build trust
• Strong new hires ask thoughtful questions
• In a new role, accuracy should come before speed
• The first 90 days are easier when you observe first and challenge later
• A move from brand side to agency side often comes with culture shock 
• New employees should bring past experience without constantly comparing their old workplace.
• A successful probation period is often built on boring things done brilliantly.
