helping agencies grow stronger - without losing what makes them brilliant
I work alongside agency leaders to strengthen the commercial and operational engine behind the work - and to step in when an important pitch, project or period of change needs senior leadership.
I offer hands-on support, strategic oversight, and no-nonsense support across the things that actually move a creative business forward.
Most of my clients are navigating some kind of shift - growth, restructure, delivery overload, new opportunity, or internal change.
If that sounds like you - we’ll probably work well together.
HOW I HELP AGENCIES
-
Strengthen the commercial model and make better decisions about where growth should come from.
THINK:
Growth strategy, forecasting and financial planning
Commercial modelling, pricing and margin sense-checking
Positioning, proposition and offer development
Pipeline and new business systems
Team structure, capacity and founder dependency
Recalibrating when the market or business changes
-
Making the work better by making it easier to get out the door.
THINK:
Workflow and project journey mapping
Scoping, costing and commercial controls
QA, approvals and decision frameworks
Tools, templates and operating rhythm
Roles, responsibilities and handovers
Delivery systems that reduce person-dependency
-
I won’t sell you a ‘how to win your pitch’ strategy - you’re the experts in your field so that’s your job.
When the pitch matters and the team is stretched, I lead the process from the inside - protecting the brief, the team and the margin.
THINK:
Pitch qualification and go/no-go decisions
Translating the brief into clear workstreams
Team, timeline and client management
Commercial and production feasibility
Budget, scope and margin discipline
Submission, presentation and follow-through
Pricing: 5% of projected gross margin per pitch (minimum fee applies).
-
Sometimes you just need someone to run the show. I lead major campaigns, partnerships, activations, and brand experiences from briefing through to delivery.
Think:
End-to-end project direction
Client and partner management
Project planning, team management and oversight
Budget and margin control
Start with the pressure point
Some clients start with a focused Working Session or diagnostic. Others need an embedded Growth Partnership, pitch lead or project director immediately. We will choose the lightest and most useful intervention for the situation.
not ready for hands on support?
Start with one of the practical agency Tools: the Pipeline Stress Test, Agency Positioning Fix, Commercial Health Check, New Business Engine, Pitch Process Fix or Project Delivery Toolkit.
Thinking about what comes next for your agency? let’s talk.
You don’t need a polished brief. Tell me what is changing, where the pressure sits and what you are trying to build. Send a note, or book a call.
