Great conversation
Discuss and learn from other amazing agency owners. A big part of what makes Agency Bites so special is the agency owners we’re able to bring together. We connect people that have something in common – whether it’s their location, size of the agency, or the challenges they’re facing.
Top insights
As well as working with hundreds of agencies, we also run the largest survey of independent agency owners in the UK – BenchPress. Run annually, the survey and report highlight key trends, stats and averages for agency owners to benchmark their performance. Join us at Agency Bites to hear the very latest findings from BenchPress.
The best start to your day
Our events are normally in the morning, giving you a chance to start your day with a dose of inspiration. We find doing them in the morning means you’ve got a clearer head and you’re less likely to get pulled into the day-to-day running of your agency. We suggest blocking some time out immediately after to digest what you’ve learned and turn your ideas into actions.
Increasing profit
We reveal the level of profit agencies should be making. This includes what the most profitable agencies do differently, and the profit habits that set them apart.
Pricing secrets
We share pricing secrets from the UK’s top-performing agencies. Including showing how you can scope projects and price effectively so that you win the right type of work.
Managing projects
We discuss ways to stop profit leaking out of your agency mid-project, including the mistakes that nearly every agency makes and how you can avoid them.
Our next topic -
Maintaining a healthy profit margin
Our first BenchPress report of 2023 revealed that average gross profit has reduced to 40% (for £1m+ agencies) and to 36% (for agencies under £1m). This means agencies have fallen even further behind the target gross profit of 50% or more. Many are ‘at risk’, with a gross profit percentage of 30% or less.
In periods of economic uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to maintain a healthy profit margin, which is why our first Agency Bites sessions of 2023 will explore this important topic in more detail than ever before.
Join us to discover:
- The five levers you can pull to increase your profit
- How the top-performing agencies achieve a gross profit of 60%+
- Simple changes to increase your profitability right away
