At StarkSouk, we believe that great work happens when everyone honors their commitments without the need for follow-ups. This reflects our mutual respect and builds a foundation of trust and accountability.

Our Experience shows that project managers spend up to one-third of their time, and sometimes as much as 50% in a bad week, on follow-ups. This includes sending reminders, making calls, chasing down responses, and trying to delay client deadlines.

Our Approach

We believe there's a better way. By eliminating the need for follow-ups, we can create a more efficient and collaborative environment. Instead of over-investing in management layers, we aim to focus on collaborating with people—especially creatives—who don’t need constant reminders and Project managers who can focus on real work rather than chasing deliverables.

Here’s how we operate:

1. Self-Responsibility: If you commit to a task, it’s your responsibility to see it through without needing a reminder.
2. Punctuality: If you can’t make it to a scheduled meeting or deadline, inform the team before the time passes. Simple, proactive communication is key.
3. Timely Responses: If someone asks you a question or needs information, respond promptly. If there’s a delay for any reason, communicate it as soon as possible.
4. Respect for Time: Respect your team members’ time by not leaving them waiting for responses or updates. Timely communication is a mark of professionalism.

This is how we achieve early operating efficiencies, and it’s the standard we expect from our creative partners, just as it is for our in-house teams.
