The unconventional agency model with Ginny Nicholls

ByKelly Molson

In this episode of Lifestyle is a Plan, I’m joined by Ginny Nicholls, founder of Interim Digital, a collective of senior freelancers helping agencies and brands solve business challenges with speed and expertise.

After nearly a decade in agency roles and years as a freelancer herself, she built Interim to challenge the traditional agency model, offering businesses on-demand access to proven specialists without the overheads or lengthy recruitment lead times.

Ginny came into my world after I read in a Prolific North article that she’d recently hit the £1million t/o with her business, Interim Digital. Now I know this podcast isn’t all about scale, but the fact she’s done this with zero employees really stood out to me!

What you’ll discover in this episode

  • The unconventional way Interim has been built
  • How to double down on natural strengths and outsourcing weaknesses
  • Why avoiding traditional hiring and people management works for Ginny
  • Ginny’s belief that people management is a major distraction from productivity
  • Why value-driven team curation is so critical
  • How to build a business exactly on your terms

If you’re exploring a more flexible, founder‑friendly approach to running an agency, this episode is a must‑listen.
