Agency Growth Summit – July 2026

“Agencies are like sharks,” an agency mentor said. “If they stop moving and adapting, they die.”

Right now, a lot of agencies feel like they’re swimming hard and getting nowhere. Constantly in motion, juggling pitches, projects, and people – but not necessarily moving forward in the way they’d hoped.

Everyone’s busy. An agency leader told me that she’s always firefighting: “I have no nice, pleasant drives anymore. It’s always filled with potholes.”

She’d been stretched across too many roles, unable to fully step back and look at the full picture of the agency.

Another Founder said: “I feel stuck in these repetitive, unfulfilling operational work. I’m too stuck in the weeds, to focus on strategic growth.”

I discussed this problem with an agency mentor. “The biggest issue is often you as the Founder.” He said. “They’re doing the same thing, year after year, but you’re doing nothing about it.”

At the Agency Growth Summit, we’ll give you the perspective you need for scaling and/or exit. We’ll discuss:

• How do you grow profitably when the pressure is increasing?
• How do you move from “firefighter to founder” without everything falling apart?
• How do you make your agency more attractive to acquisition?

Because staying alive as an agency isn’t just about constant motion.

It’s about knowing when to change direction, when to go deeper, and when to let go of what’s holding you in place.
