 Barbara GeczyCustomer Analyst,This is Milk Sometimes it’s healthy to take time out to reflect on your own achievements, for to quote Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Once upon a time, two women came together with a shared idea. Looking around, Angela Prentner-Smith didn’t see anyone else in Scotland offering a business transformation service, so she decided to step up and give it a go.
That once upon a time took place just a few years ago and in the subsequent months, a lot has happened. The idea has taken seed and that seed has grown into a business development agency called This Is Milk. Two and a half years and 20 clients later, we’ve surpassed milestones that we could previously only have dreamed of – and this is just the beginning.

 This is Milk Founder Angela Prentner-Smith, shares her start-up story and advice for anyone looking to start a new business. Where did it all begin for you? Right after my graduation, a position came up, that really threw me into the project world, where we were trying to deliver our services around the needs of the customers. In those days we were just starting to talk about user experience, digital customers and delivering end-to-end solutions in an online way. Over the first 10 years of my career I worked on countless projects, but I was continually frustrated with the lack of customer focus on programs. Me and my co-founder Gillian believed we could do better, so that was when we started to build the concept of This is Milk
 Angela Prentner-SmithManaging Consultant, This is Milk Looking back on the night This is Milk really set off - with a speech from Nicola Sturgeon. Back in October, This is Milk launched as a company with a celebratory night in the Orkney Enterprise Centre in Govan. It was a fun night attended by many - including the Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon.
 Angela Prentner-SmithManaging Consultant, This is Milk This is Milk...a business change consultancy – but how did we come up with the name? If This is Milk has any frequently asked questions, the one that tops the list is “How did you come up with the name?”
The truth is the name was the end-result of some serious deliberation about our brand. It went a little like this. Gillian (This is Milk’s co-founder) and I began by batting about some ideas about what and who we wanted to be, then taking the time to refine those statements into the words that best described how we wanted to appear to the world. We wanted to be different, to stand out from the crowd, to be a breath of fresh air. At the same time as thinking about what we were going to call ourselves, we were also considering our Vision, our Mission, our Ethics, and our Visual Style. |
