We are an experienced account manager (with agency and internal experience) who specialise in working with busy marketers/agency owners who want to grow, are struggling to maintain your client’s needs and workload and are spending too much time juggling capacity and planning rather than doing!
We are a client services director for you/your agency.

- Allow you to focus on winning the business whilst I focus on the wider marketing, offering and delivery

- Helping to manage the client day to day and make sure they are happy, up to speed and catered for
- Being a conduit when needed between the client and the marketer, where needed (not a blocker)
- Keep up communication between all parties, coming up with ideas, solving any issues, keeping everyone up to speed
- Generally there to get sh*t done (the delivery!), to progress the client and the project/workload

Tips & Thinking
Guest Post: The ‘Silly Season’ Shortcut: How Agencies Can Close Deals Before Year-End (Without Cold Outreach)
Guest Post by Dave Plunkett, Collaboration Junkie We’ve officially hit “silly season” in agency land. Everyday there’s a new event to head to, pitch decks are flying, pipelines are being endlessly agonised over, and almost every agency owner I talk to is desperate to pull a few extra deals over the line before the year wraps up. It happens every single year around this time. Panic sets in and the knee-jerk reaction is to throw extra budget at outbound or send a barrage of cold LinkedIn messages to complete strangers. (Spoiler alert: it rarely works, and you usually just end
Is your marketing business in pain? The warning signs your operations need attention
If you were in pain, you’d probably seek some expert advice, wouldn’t you? You’d want to know what was causing it, what you could do about it and, ideally, how to stop it happening again. But what if your business was in pain? Who would you ask then? Because businesses can have their own aches, pains and niggles. And when you’re running a marketing business or agency, those problems can sometimes creep up on you without you really noticing. Until suddenly, you realise you’re juggling far too much. What might business pain look like? It could be something quite straightforward.
What Is Account Management, really?
And why every marketer needs “Another You” Quick question. When did you last have a full day where you weren’t juggling client emails, chasing a supplier, prepping for a pitch, and trying to actually do the marketing you’re meant to be doing? If you’re anything like a lot of marketers and agency owners out there, the honest answer is: it’s been a while. And that’s not meant as a criticism. I try and keep Friday’s for CEO/my business time where I can, but it doesn’t always work out that way. You didn’t start your business because you love herding cats,
The other R&R …
Rest and Relaxation is key of course, and especially over the Summer months and when we have heat waves, but what about the other R&R? Retention and Relationships! In today’s business world of sometimes hard to win and easy to lose in terms of opportunities and new business, retention and relationships are so key. According to Dentsu – Retaining existing customers is 5 to 25 times more cost-effective than winning new ones, making it the primary driver of sustainable revenue. Balancing customer retention and new business acquisition is critical in the UK market – so how do you do this?
Your sanity called and it needs a holiday!
Have you got a holiday booked? And if you have, are you planning on taking your laptop? And if you are taking a laptop, is this through choice or do you feel you have no choice? If you feel you have a choice, why is that? Time to switch off Picture this, you are on the beach, drink of choice in hand, a book on the side to pick up and read if you want, sunglasses and lotion close by …Sounds perfect right? In this picture, then imagine your bag or your hotel room or safe. It is empty in
The hidden truth about agency growth: why more clients won’t fix your problems
The hidden truth about agency growth – 5 areas to consider 1. The illusion of growth Your agency can be busy and still not be growing. A full pipeline, full team, and packed calendar might look impressive (and great for screenshots), but tight margins, stretched delivery, and constant pressure tell a different story. More clients don’t fix operational gaps—they expose them. More emails, more deadlines, more “quick calls” that are never quick. Suddenly your day is less about strategy and more about juggling.
