As one attendee said...“The sort of event you really want to attend: great people, good conversations, and useful connections. Highly recommended.” 🤩

Event Themes: Growth / Profitability / Operations
--
Join fellow agency directors and decision-makers for an engaging day of networking. Not only that but this exclusive mini conference will be filled with insightful and interactive sessions to boost your business too!
As your agency grows, so do the challenges – higher expectations, larger overheads that require greater control, bigger clients with more complex needs, all needing processes that scale.
How do you ensure your operations enable success? 🤔
This event will help you make the transition from scattered systems and inconsistent workflows to a well-oiled, data-driven machine. Whether you’re just starting to build a stronger foundation or fine-tuning your established processes, this is your chance to learn from experienced agency leaders.
Join us to chat about running agency operations like clockwork, new biz and sales tactics, generating healthy profits, keeping clients happy, attracting top talent, staying sane and anything else that goes into building a successful agency.
As another agency said, "The events are very well orchestrated! Ideal mix of learning, connections and actions." Not only that, but almost all attendees at previous Gatherings would recommend them to a friend or colleague, with most giving us 9s and 10s out of 10! ⭐️
Grab this opportunity to grow your network and boost your business.
This even is purposefully intimate so spaces are limited - be quick and grab your spot before they all go!

Profit-First Agencies: Balancing Creativity with Financial Success
Your agency thrives on ideas, but let’s be real—creativity alone won’t keep the lights on. Profitability matters just as much. The challenge? Keeping your finances in check without bogging your team down in spreadsheets or killing the creative spark that makes your agency great. Whether you’re looking to tighten up your budgets, improve profitability, or just run a smoother operation, this session will give you the tools to make it happen. Here’s what we’ll cover:
> Make sure billable work actually gets billed.
> Keep budgets in check without the headaches.
> Use data to drive better decisions.
Session 2 - Paul Barnes (MAP Accountants)
Financial Confidence for Digital Agencies
If you want to grow your profits, to be confident about your cashflow and ultimately to scale successfully, you need to become financially mature. And the bigger you become, the more this matters. But what does good financial management look like for your agency? You have a distinctive vision for your business, which means you need a distinctive financial plan and benchmarks to get you there. And that means making finance a core part of your business, not a support function. Stop comparing yourself to other businesses, start getting clear on what results you want and confident about how to get them. Paul Barnes has been helping digital agencies achieve this for years: discover his simple methodology and scorecard, and start your own journey to financial maturity.
