    About BenchPress

    In 2012, we began our agency benchmarking report – BenchPress. The aim was simple; to take an accurate snapshot of agency life in the UK and to share insight and analysis with ambitious agency owners. 

    BenchPress has grown to become the largest survey of UK independent agency owners and is a great way to benchmark yourself against your peers.

    We love working with agencies

    In this fast-moving, digital world, many agencies focus on short-term results driven solely by return on investment at the expense of their people, their customers, and even themselves.

    We believe there is another way. We believe profit and sustainability should be at the heart of growing an agency.

    We’ve worked with hundreds of agencies over the years, typically those with between 8-80 staff. We love providing agency owners with insights and best practices so they can make better decisions.
