Bite-sized conversations to inspire you and your agency
Agency Bites
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
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.
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!

Some of the topics we’ve covered
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.
The BenchPress reports have continually highlighted pricing as a critical challenge for agencies. Now more than ever, it’s important to have a solid strategic approach to how you value your work to ensure you attract and win the right clients.
In a tough economic climate, pricing can be one of the first things to come under pressure, as clients demand more for their money. There’s no doubt that rates have an impact on new business - we see agencies discount, negotiate and often take on more than what they’re charging for simply to get deals over the line. However, these are short-term wins that can cause long-term challenges.
During these Agency Bites sessions, we’ll explore:
- What the latest pricing benchmarks mean for your size of agency
- The fundamentals of value-based pricing - and how to adjust your sales technique accordingly
- How to increase your rates for your existing clients
- The benefits of building out a niche and what this does to your conversion rate
- How to discount effectively
