Corey, how would you describe your work model? What kind of activities, projects are you currently working on?
I run a full-service creative agency called Moonshot Agency and our projects span a diverse range of clients, each with their own unique needs. For instance, this week, we’ve sent a beautifully designed cookbook to proofreading, which we’re self-publishing for the owner of the best restaurant in North Wales. Additionally, we’ve just completed a dynamic website for a London-based recruitment agency and crafted brand guidelines for a health club, construction company and sent a variety of clients’ marketing materials to print and that’s just this week. On top of these, we manage social media accounts for a variety of clients, from restaurants to commercial decorators, ensuring their online presence is as compelling as their services.
What does your usual workday look like at Workland Laisvės? Which spaces, amenities allow you to maximise your productivity?
My day kicks off with a iced coffee from the fantastic coffee machine that fuels my productivity. I then settle at one of the desks overlooking the lounge area. The noise of others working around me helps maintain my focus and keeps procrastination away. The environment at Workland Laisvės I believe truly enhances my workflow, I had a similar space in the UK so I had to see what Workland offered and I’m impressed.
What habits bring you success?
Success for me hinges on routine and consistency. Having run this business for seven years, I've faced moments of doubt, staring at the ceiling and wondering why I continue. But it's navigating through these moments with a routine and a clear understanding of why I started that has opened doors to numerous opportunities. Staying consistent and persistent has been key to my success.
What are the greatest achievements, successes, or lessons learned in your work, or your personal life, that you would like to share?
My greatest achievement is undoubtedly landing our first client. At 19, my business partner and I were both unemployed and had only known each other for a week after meeting through Facebook Marketplace over a drone. While inspecting the drone, we chatted about our skills—me in design, and him in video and photo. We decided to team up and look for our own clients. A month later, we secured a monthly retainer with one of the top restaurants in the area.
This success enabled us to move in together and continue our journey. Seven years on, my partner now manages our UK team from Liverpool, while I’m building our European team and exploring new client opportunities in Lithuania.
As I started my journey to Lithuania I have also started a Tiktok documenting everything about my move and amassed a reach of 1.5million views within the first 28 days of being here, you can see more here: https://www.tiktok.com/@coreyfxl
A crucial lesson I’ve learned is to stay positive and believe in myself. Whenever we pitch for new work, I approach it with the mindset that we’ve already won the job. This self-motivation, coupled with an openness to rejection, has driven our continued growth.
How would you describe your experience at Workland and to whom would you recommend it?
Workland offers an environment with like-minded individuals in a creative space that significantly boosts productivity. If you’re seeking a workspace that motivates you more than working from home, this is it really. It transforms the routine of going to work into an inspiring experience.
