Agency grow-getters: How to plan for scalable, profitable growth

Most agencies are set up out of passion. The goal is simple: Do great work. Work with great people. Do it their way. Earn enough money.

One minute it’s all fun and games, a lifestyle pretty rock ‘n’ roll. Now calendars are chock-a-block and the worry is about mortgages and payroll. They say as you multiply by three, things change and it gets tougher.

And we’ve seen lots of agencies ‘wing it’ when it comes to growth. Taking on more and more work, only to fall apart and lose clients. That’s why planning is VITAL. You need formal structures, processes, comms and management. Or you aren’t growing anywhere, let alone scalably or profitably.

In this Agency Work-shop, you’ll learn the phases of agency growth, the five pillars that make a scalable agency, how to make a growth plan and kick it into action and what numbers you should be tracking to get set, grow.

Content:

• Phases of agency growth
• The five pillars of a scalable agency
• Creating your growth plan
• Moving from plan to action
• The key numbers you should be tracking

This workshop will be particularly useful for senior managers in agencies (15-50 people) e.g. Client Service Directors, Finance Directors, Operations Directors, Production Directors.

We're delighted to be delivering this workshop in collaboration with The Agency Works.
