Agency Bites

How it works

Agency Bites is an exclusive series of online and in-person events that bring together groups of agency owners to discuss a particular topic, where they can learn from and support each other. We cover topics that are at the forefront of agency owners' minds right now - such as new business, profitability, client retention or pricing - to name just a few.

These sessions are completely free of charge to join - no catch, just an hour or two spent with topic experts plus other agency owners who might be in the same boat as you.

Who’s it for?

These interactive sessions are ideal for ambitious agency owners or Managing Directors. People get the most out of Agency Bites if they're willing to talk about their challenges and share knowledge with other agency owners.

We also split the sessions by turnover, with groups for over £1m agencies and others for under £1m. This allows our content to be targeted to the stage of business your agency is at right now.

When do the events run?

You can catch Agency Bites throughout the year, usually once a quarter. Agency Bites 2025 is kicking off with an in-person networking breakfast, hosted in Brighton, Bristol and London. Find out more details below.

I was fortunate to be invited to an Agency Bites session with Rory. I had a thoroughly fascinating morning. Left and spent the next 48hrs completely re-jigging and re-framing my sales funnel. So much gain and insight. A great way to start the morning!

Great conversation

Discuss and learn from other amazing agency owners. A big part of what makes Agency Bites so special is the agency owners we’re able to bring together. We connect people that have something in common – whether it’s their location, size of the agency, or the challenges they’re facing.

Top insights

As well as working with hundreds of agencies, we also run the largest survey of independent agency owners in the UK – BenchPress. Run annually, the survey and report highlight key trends, stats and averages for agency owners to benchmark their performance. Join us at Agency Bites to hear the very latest findings from BenchPress.

The best start to your day

Our events are normally in the morning, giving you a chance to start your day with a dose of inspiration. We find doing them in the morning means you’ve got a clearer head and you’re less likely to get pulled into the day-to-day running of your agency. We suggest blocking some time out immediately after to digest what you’ve learned and turn your ideas into actions.

Increasing profit

We reveal the level of profit agencies should be making. This includes what the most profitable agencies do differently, and the profit habits that set them apart.

Pricing secrets

We share pricing secrets from the UK’s top-performing agencies. Including showing how you can scope projects and price effectively so that you win the right type of work.

Managing projects

We discuss ways to stop profit leaking out of your agency mid-project, including the mistakes that nearly every agency makes and how you can avoid them.
