Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Benjamin Petit, Co-Founder of Dysturb, located in Brooklyn, NY, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Dysturb is a creative agency producing global campaigns, experiences, and content designed to engage the audience and foster impact. We help public and private organizations express their environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and ethical values in favor of a more equitable and sustainable model of society.

Tell us about yourself

After covering humanitarian crises and conflicts for over fifteen years, the other co-founder and I launched Dysturb to use what we learned as photojournalists to create a different kind of agency.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

So far, we’ve created 80+ campaigns and experiences for purpose-driven clients. Our work has been produced in over 50 cities supporting various issues and identities, including climate change, gender equality, body positivity, diversity and inclusion, immigration, and more. We’ve also helped many cultural organizations create experiences that entertain, educate and inspire their visitors.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

To allocate and divide your time among a million tasks while keeping your priorities at the top.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Find a mentor: get pieces of advice, recommendations, and workflow tips from people who have grown a business.
  2. Look for investors and partners instead of bootstrapping.
  3. Once your prototype/product/service is ready, grow your business development team early in the process.
