How Can You Scale Your Agency Without Losing Control?

⏰ 11am, Wednesday 10th September 2025

A strong pipeline can be just as dangerous as a weak one. It’s something Steve Parks, CEO of Convivio, is seeing play out in real time: “Agencies are finally seeing momentum – but they’re in headless chicken mode. Years of crisis have left them without the structure to handle demand, so founders are scrambling instead of leading.”
Instead of enjoying the rewards of growth, many leaders are stuck firefighting – they’re being pulled into the weeds and unable to step back. This can leave them feeling overwhelmed with no time to think, no space to lead and no clear structure for growth.
In this session Steve will explore how to structure your agency for stability, take advantage of global trends, and stop running your business in panic mode. A must-attend for any founder who wants to finish 2025 strong.

There’s a big difference between delivering a pitch and actually connecting with your target audience. This interactive session with Alex Wright, Maddy Allen and Max “Hoppy” Hopkinson is designed to help you bring public speaking tools into your pitching process – so your ideas don’t just land, they resonate.
Alex, Maddy and Max are all speaker coaches, presenters, and board members of The Keynote Club, a community and course platform that helps people become better speakers. “Public speaking is so critical to pitching,” says Alex, “and so it’s critical to the personal professional development journey of the people in agencies, too.”
In this high-energy, interactive workshop, Alex, Maddy and Max will take you through real exercises, not just advice. They will be sharing breathing drills, and confidence-boosting techniques you can start using right away to improve your pitching.

What happens when you stop treating LinkedIn like a tick-box task, and start using it as a serious growth channel?
“We literally had the best Q1 we’ve ever had this year,” says Dan Knowlton, co-founder of creative agency Knowlton. “We hit 388% of our profit goals – and most of our business came, and still comes, through LinkedIn.”
In this online session, Dan will pull back the curtain on how his team transformed their approach to LinkedIn – turning it from a spammy, low-impact channel into a high-performing client magnet.

“If something lands, we haven’t got a clue who’s gonna work on it.”
Sound familiar? You’re not the only one staring down the barrel of over-capacity and second-guessing when to make your next hire. So, when is the right time to hire – and how do you do it without risking your bottom line?
Sarah White, co-founder of Smile Digital Talent, sees this dilemma all the time, and in this session, she’ll be on hand to help you find a better understanding of when, and how, you should make that next hire.

⏰ 11am, Tuesday 23rd September 2025

More agencies are being pulled into international work, whether it’s a client eyeing expansion or a pitch that spans multiple markets. But once you’re beyond the UK, things get trickier fast: Who can you trust locally? How do you buy media or get reliable insight? How should you manage the brief without blowing the margin?
It’s the kind of challenge Maddy Park deals with every day. As MD of NewCom Horizons, a Madrid-based agency that partners with independents across the world, Maddy helps UK agencies deliver when the brief goes beyond home turf.
In this session, we’ll explore what it actually takes to operate internationally as an independent agency. From picking partners to managing margin, you’ll get a real-world look at the opportunities (and headaches) of going global.
