A small collection of things I’ve made or run that have been useful to agency founders at different points. Some are ongoing, some are time-bound.
The Agency Loop
A recurring peer survey of UK agency owners, with commentary on what’s actually happening beneath the headlines. It looks at sentiment, performance, constraints, and trade-offs – not best practice or theory. Useful if you value signal over optimism, and are prepared to sit with data that doesn’t flatter easy narratives.
Try This
One actionable idea to improve your agency in your email every two weeks. Useful if you want something concrete to try, rather than more things to think about.
Utilisation Calculator
A simple model for understanding capacity, recovery, and why “busy” so often fails to translate into progress. Interactive calculator I built for an event I ran. Useful if your numbers feel fuzzy, but the consequences don’t.
Podcast (archived)
A short, limited-run podcast speaking to founders who had sold their agencies — about what actually mattered, what didn’t, and what surprised them. It’s no longer active, but the conversations still hold up.
No Dumb (Agency) Questions (archived)
An experiment in creating a low-pressure space for agency leaders to ask the questions they often avoid asking publicly. It’s informal, uneven, and not always running. Useful if you value honest answers over polished ones.
