As we start gearing up for a new year at Waters Agency, I find myself reflecting (at 30,000 feet over Iceland) on the journey we've undertaken together at Waters Agency throughout 2023, but also since we started the company six years ago.

Sometimes you have to slow the pace down to get where you need to be, and that’s ok.
Our team's ability ..read more
