Building “Creativity on Tap” for Modern Brands with Dana Hork

In this episode of Self Funded, Dana Hork, Founder & CEO of Beers With Friends, shares how she transformed her frustration with the traditional agency model into a five-day sprint business designed for modern marketers. Drawing on her experience at Wonder, Walmart, and Jet.com, Dana explains how she and her co-founder built a creative microagency rooted in trust, speed, and focus—offering “creativity on tap” without long retainers or bureaucracy. She discusses shared consciousness in co-founding, iterating toward product-market fit, and why senior judgment and perspective are more valuable than ever in an AI-driven world.
