Running an agency isn’t just about client work – it’s about building a sustainable business. We know the challenges: scaling effectively, securing the right funding, and, for many, planning a successful exit. That’s why we’ve designed “From Growth to Gold” – a day focused on providing you with actionable insights and genuine connections. For 2025, we’ve taken the best of our 2024 program and included even more room to exchange ideas through a series of focused roundtables open to all ticket holders.
So what does the event have in store for you?
Morning Kickstart: We begin with a keynote from someone who’s actually walked the path you’re on. They’ll share real-world experiences, not just theoretical concepts, giving you a fresh perspective on navigating today’s market. Then, we move into a couple of dynamic panel discussion – one with “New wave” social first agencies Campfire and Butterfly 3ffect & another with veterans from Apadmi, Tigerbond and the Behaviours Agency.
Deep Dive Roundtables: Forget passive listening. We designed the agenda to include interactive sessions. You’ll join a small group, led by industry veterans, to tackle the issues that keep you up at night. Want to understand how to leverage tech for growth? Or perhaps you’re exploring M&A strategies? We’ll have focused discussions on the following topics:
- Agency M&A roundtable – How is the agency M&A market evolving, are we seeing increased consolidation, and what strategic opportunities should agency owners consider to leverage M&A for growth?
- People-powered growth roundtable – How are agency leaders navigating the talent tightrope, balancing automation, rising costs, and employee expectations to create a thriving and engaged workforce?
- International growth roundtable – What are the key opportunities for agencies in high-growth markets like the US and Middle East, and what should you consider for success in these regions?
- AI & Tech roundtable – How are agencies leveraging AI and emerging technologies?
- Accelerating growth roundtable – What are the typical growth pain points experienced by agencies, and how can engaging NEDs provide valuable guidance and support to overcome these challenges and drive ambitious growth?
Looking Ahead: We’ll conclude with a panel discussion featuring the day’s speakers and experts who will try to sum up the key takeaways and offer their perspectives on the future of the agency landscape. This isn’t about vague predictions; it’s about providing practical insights you can use to prepare for what’s next.
Who is this event for? The agenda has been specifically designed for for agency owners who are:
- Looking to scale their business effectively
- Exploring funding and investment opportunities.
- Considering a future exit strategy
- Seeking to enhance their agency’s value
- Wanting to learn from people who have real world experience.
Due to the nature of the conversation, we purposely limit the event to a smaller audience. So make sure you secure your ticket soon!
