Thursday 23rd January 2025 – 9.30am to 5pm
The British Library, Kings Cross

Small agencies always seem more frazzled than big ones.

In the early days of your agency you are like a bandaged-up kamikaze pilot with missing teeth. You are tired and dirty, always being dragged in 100 directions – taking off on random missions at a moment’s notice.

But as you grow, things become smoother.

You become a team of handsome BA pilots. Starched uniforms and perfect smiles. You operate on a schedule, taking off and landing exactly on time.

Agency Growth Summit is a conference where you can meet people who have transitioned from scrappy start-up to scaled agency – as well as other folks who are currently somewhere on that journey.

​Getting to £5m requires a different kind of dice-rolling 🎲 than getting to £1m. Kamikaze missions will never get you across the chasm. Join us at Agency Growth Summit to find the inspiration you need to take you where you want to go.

Grow your agency to a scaled success story

The Agency Growth Summit is a day that will help you get inspired, and meet other people that you can learn from. It’s aimed at agency leaders and their leadership teams – but anybody can come. It’s a blend of interactive talks and group discussion.

  • Our venue is the Knowledge Centre at The British Library. We have the entire building, so you will explore the venue interacting with different agency leaders. We mix up the groups so you meet different people.
  • We poll you before the event to see what you want to talk about.
  • We make sure all the talks are original and interesting. We facilitate questions and reflections throughout.

Agency Growth Summit – FAQs 🤖

Q: What actually happens on the day?

We start the event at 9.30am , so try to arrive by 9am.

The day’s format is pretty simple: you will spend some time hearing from guests with interesting stories that you can learn from, and you will also spend some time in small groups discussing your journey with like-minded agency leaders.

The event is hosted by Agency Hackers facilitators who make sure that everybody with something interesting to say gets heard. (We poll attendees before the event, so we know who to ‘pick on’ on the day.)

We will serve tea, coffee and sweet things to keep you going, but please eat a sandwich before you arrive. The schedule doesn’t leave us time to serve lunch, unfortunately.

Q: Who will I hear from? Who are the speakers?

The people you’ll hear from are all agency leaders with interesting stories to tell about how they’ve achieve agency growth.

We also decide who to spotlight based on the information we capture in the weeks before. (Look out for our emails!)

We will publish the line-up a few weeks before, but mostly we hope that you will trust us to select interesting folk from our audience. We find that the people who choose to attend our events are overwhelmingly on fascinating journeys that will resonate with you.

Also, the ‘talks’ aren’t really linear presentations. They’re more like structured case studies, with lots of questions and reflections from the audience.

You could potentially call them ‘fireside chats’, but these are not rambling cosy conversations. They are planned and structured . We put a lot of work into researching our guests, out of respect for your time.

Q: Who can attend?

This event is mainly for agency owners and leaders – but it’s potentially of interest to keen “second in commands” who might be responsible for growth.

Basically, anybody can attend if you think it looks up your street.
