Guidance from the Frontlines of Growth, Global Expansion, and Acquisition
Growing a successful agency isn’t just about hustle. It’s about smart positioning, scalable systems, and knowing what not to do. Whether you’re building momentum, expanding internationally, or preparing for acquisition, I offer direct, experience-based support to help agency leaders break through growth plateaus and build lasting value.
Over the years, I’ve documented key lessons from building, scaling, and selling agencies in my Epiphanies series, real-world insights drawn from the trenches. Before you decide on your next move, I encourage you to explore those articles. They offer a raw, honest perspective on what it really takes to grow with purpose, navigate complexity, and avoid the hidden traps most agency owners never see coming.
With over two decades of agency experience, including founding, scaling, acquiring, selling, and advising agencies worldwide, I bring a battle-tested perspective to your toughest decisions.
Growing Your Agency
Build Smarter. Avoid the Pain. Focus on What Actually Scales.
Most agency owners get stuck working in the business instead of on it. I’ll help you break out of that cycle and build a model that scales beyond the founder’s energy.
What we’ll cover:
- Positioning and specialization: how to attract high-value clients who want what only you offer
- Service productization and pricing strategy
- Processes and systems that free up leadership time
- Talent strategy: who you need next, and how to retain them
- Setting and hitting your first (or next) $1M, $5M, or $10M revenue milestone
2: Taking Your Agency Global
Expand into New Markets Without Losing Your Soul or Your Margins.
Are you thinking of going global or working with multinational clients? I’ll help you navigate the complexity of cross-border operations and confidently pitch bigger deals.
We’ll work through:
- Structuring your services for international clients
- Navigating cultural and operational differences
- Building global delivery models and partnerships
- Winning RFPs and aligning with global procurement teams
- Managing time zones, expectations, and global reporting standards
3: Preparing for Acquisition
Position Your Agency as a Strategic Asset, Not Just a Client List.
If you plan to sell in the next 12–36 months, now’s the time to get intentional. I’ll help you prepare your agency to maximize valuation and make the exit process smoother for you, your team, and your buyer.
Our work includes:
- Evaluating your business model through the lens of acquirers
- Cleaning up contracts, dependencies, and client concentration
- Creating transferable IP, documentation, and systems
- Understanding the numbers: EBITDA, multipliers, and real-world scenarios
- Finding and vetting buyers aligned with your goals
