How it works

Agency Bites is an exclusive series of online events that bring together groups of agency owners to discuss a particular topic, where they can learn from and support each other. Join us.

Who’s it for?
  • Ambitious agency owners or Managing Directors
  • We split the sessions by turnover size, with some groups for those with a turnover over £1m and some for those under £1m.
  • People willing to share. Our events are interactive

Great conversation

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

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

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.

What other people say

I was fortunate to be invited to an Agency Bites session with Rory. I had a thoroughly fascinating morning. Left and spent the next 48hrs completely re-jigging and re-framing my sales funnel. So much gain and insight. A great way to start the morning!

Next event:

Get your business thriving without you

In the latest Benchpress survey, only 18% of agency owners stated that their business would continue to grow without them there. That means that the vast majority have work to do when it comes to creating a business that truly works without them. 

This is particularly important if you plan to sell your business in the future, as in the case for 47% of agencies under £1m. Your business will be more valuable if you've built a team that can run things without you involved. Even if you're not looking to sell your agency, building this capability will give you greater freedom over how you spend your time. 

Of course, this is easier said than done, which is why we're bringing together agency leaders to discuss what they've learned on their journeys so far. 

During these Agency Bites sessions, we’ll explore:

  • The five key steps to building a business that thrives without you
  • Traits of agencies that will continue to grow without their owners
  • Practical steps to help you on your journey
  • How to avoid common pitfalls
  • The four different types of leaders and what prevents owners from moving to the next level

We'll be splitting the sessions by turnover size, to ensure you're grouped with others relevant to your stage of business.

For those with a turnover of £1m+, sign up for Thursday 8th or Wednesday 14th August

For agencies with a turnover of under £1m, sign up for Tuesday 6th or Thursday 15th August.

Note these are all interactive workshops (cameras and microphones will be on). Please ensure that you’re ready to participate in this way on the day. Thank you.
