Agency Coaching

Stop me if you’ve heard this before…
“I’ll start an agency, work with awesome brands, do the work I love, make a ton of money, have plenty of time for family, surfing, etc…”

Now that you’re in it, is that vision playing out how you thought it would?

Trust me when I say, I get it. That was my story also.

As a coach for creative agencies, most of the work we do together addresses one, some, or all of the following… positioning, processes, pricing and profits, people, and personal balance with your agency. (Can you tell I love alliteration?)

Other Areas We Might Tackle…

While they feel unique to you, most agency owners struggle with similar challenges:

  • Agency scaling

  • Operations, systems, and procedures

  • Recruitment and team structure

  • Financial health, pricing, and profitability

  • Client DNA and business development

  • Culture, leadership, and remote teams

  • Marketing, messaging, and positioning

  • Niche’s, specialties, and client diversification

  • Technology, automation, processes, and integrations

  • Strategic partnerships

  • Mergers and acquisitions

If these challenges sound familiar, it’s time we had a conversation.

No Cookie Cutter Coaching Here…

I don’t believe in a “one-size fits all” approach, and I don’t offer a “92 steps to _______” solution. If that’s what you’re looking for, there are plenty of programs out there and I’m happy to recommend a few. Since every agency is different, I believe your challenges and goals are unique to you. Therefore, your coaching should fit your specific needs. Some owners are better suited for one-to-one coaching, while others thrive in a group environment. Whichever is best for your needs, both environments focus on your specific goals and challenges.

Your Path...

My goal is to work closely with agency owners and their teams to find the most success possible, now and down the road. Success isn’t a one-time event, it’s a process and a series of points along a path. Your path might be a crazy twisted-up ball of yarn or a slightly curved string – the choice is yours.

  • When I work with an agency and recognize their need for outsight from an experienced coach, I immediately connect them with Steve. His experience and insight are second to none.

    – Don Seckler, Peak Inbound Marketing

  • By end of year we will have increased our gross profit by over 50% from the pervious year. Not too bad for covid/ and for my complacent state of mind.

    – Lila Schneider, Let's Be Media

  • I've struggled to find coaches that know the agency world and agency challenges, and Steve and the Sounding Board group have been fantastic. It is truly a community that welcomes you, knows what you're experiencing, and can help you make decisions that better your business.

    – John Himics, First Ascent Design

  • Steve genuinely cares about the health and well-being of your business and you as a person. He has been a tremendous help with everything from getting crystal clear on my profit margins to developing powerful talks for my speaking engagements. Thanks to Steve, I feel like I have stronger insight into my business and better tools for growth in the coming year.

    – Anne Popolizio, Social Squib

  • Having a place to talk with Steve and the other experienced business owners allowed me to relax and take action with a select number of tactics and targeted approaches. These are now the effective habits that I will carry into the future. I am grateful for what I have learned from Steve and the regular meetings with a great group of business owners.

    – Bill Milnazik, Axis Visual

  • Steve's insights, combined with his genuine eagerness to share and learn, have been nothing short of transformative. Engaging with him and absorbing his expertise on agency operations has truly catalyzed my perspective on running Grayson Sky. I highly recommend any interaction with him – it's a chance to evolve, inspire, and be inspired.

    – Peter Mastrogiacomo, Grayson Sky

Ask Yourself...

If we’re having a discussion in three years, and you’re looking back over the work we’ve done on your agency together, what impact do you need to see – personally and professionally – for you to feel fulfilled about your progress? Paint that picture for me…

Why Wait?

A year from now,
you’ll wish you had started today.
