The Growth Mindset: What It Looks Like at Front Burner

Growth is something we truly value at Front Burner Marketing, so much so that empowering growth is one of our coveted core values. Whether it’s helping our team grow, driving growth for our clients, or strengthening our agency as a whole. To us, growth isn’t just about hitting goals; it’s about continuously improving, finding new opportunities, and creating a culture that thrives. And let’s be honest, we love celebrating the incredible people who make it all happen. Because without them, none of this—team growth, client success, or agency progress—would happen. Let’s dive into how we approach growth and why it’s so important to us. 

What Does Empowering Growth Mean to Us?  

"We are committed to fostering growth and learning, both within our team and for our clients, ensuring sustainable success and continual improvement."

Growth for Our Team 

Growth doesn’t just happen by accident—it takes effort, tools, and sometimes, a little bit of trial and error. From paid training time to diving into industry advancements to providing the latest tools that make account work more efficient, we’re here to help our team build their skills and explore new possibilities. Because let’s face it, when our team grows, the whole agency benefits. 

Take Kendra Morvillo, for example. She joined us nine years ago as an Account Manager—without a marketing background, believe it or not. She quickly learned the ins and outs of managing client strategies and earned a promotion to Senior Account Manager, leading accounts with confidence and care. But her growth didn’t stop there. Over time, Kendra noticed ways to improve how we operate as an agency—and she didn’t hesitate to step up. Today, as our Director of Operations, she’s helping us run more efficiently than ever. 

Kendra’s story shows what can happen when you mix opportunity, support, and a little hustle. Growth here isn’t just about checking boxes, it’s about figuring out what you’re capable of and making it happen. Simple as that. 

For Our Clients 

Our clients’ success is our success. We’re always looking for new ways to help them grow—whether it’s uncovering hidden opportunities, refining strategies, or introducing innovative tools. Helping their businesses move forward isn’t just a priority; it’s how we measure our own success. 

Our approach is far more than just maintaining the status quo. Where’s the fun in that? We strive to push boundaries and look for ways to do things better. Maybe it’s a fresh approach to SEO that gets them ranking higher, or a new social media campaign that drives engagement. Sometimes it’s as simple as identifying a small tweak that makes a big impact. We thrive on digging into the details to uncover opportunities our clients might not even know are possible.  

Let’s talk about Karri Morrison—aka the Queen of Data. Seriously, numbers are her happy place. Give her a pile of messy data, and she’ll turn it into pure gold. One of Karri’s amazing talents is her ability to take all that chaos—spreadsheets, stats, you name it—and uncover hidden gems. Whether it’s improving a client’s process, offering a fresh perspective, or spotting problems no one else noticed, Karri’s got it covered. 

For Our Business 

Let’s be real—growing a business isn’t just about getting more clients. It’s about making sure everything behind the scenes works like a well-oiled machine. That’s why we’ve made it a priority to constantly refine our internal processes. It’s not glamorous, but setting clear standards and streamlining workflows means everything runs smoother—making growth not just possible, but enjoyable (for everyone involved). 

A huge shoutout goes to our Director of Business Growth, Jay Kozar, for making this happen. In just over a year, Jay has transformed how we approach growth. With more deals closing (yay!), he recognized that we needed to perfect our onboarding process and ensure every client gets the same rock-solid experience. From crafting detailed onboarding documents to revamping our proposal methods and even leveling up our internal marketing, Jay has been a total game-changer. 

It’s about building a foundation that supports not just where we are, but where we’re going. And with processes that work, a team that’s invested, and hard work, we’re making sure our agency’s growth is something we can all celebrate. 

Why Growth Matters

From giving our team the tools to succeed, to finding new ways to elevate our clients, to refining how we operate as an agency, everything we do is built around the idea of moving forward. 

When people grow, businesses thrive. If you’re looking for a team that values curiosity, creativity, and continuous improvement, we’d love for you to connect with us. Learn more about how we work and the amazing people behind it all by applying to join our Marketing Rockstars program.
