Digital Agency Owner Live Q&A - How I Grew My Agency Beyond Word of Mouth & More

Who Are We?

***

We're a bunch of digital agency owners, right from the heart of the North. From the cobbled streets of Yorkshire to the vibrant buzz of Manchester, we've seen and felt it all.

We started this group because we realised something pretty simple: there's power in numbers and shared experiences. We're all navigating the same waters, facing similar challenges, and celebrating similar wins.

Instead of going it alone, we thought, "Why not come together?" And so, this community was born. Our goal? To help each other out, share some laughs, and make the journey a little less bumpy. It's a no-frills, straight-shooting space where everyone's welcome, and we've all got each other's backs.

What's it all about?
Let’s be real. Running a digital agency has its own set of challenges. Sometimes it feels like you're pushing uphill, trying to get new clients without relying on the same old referrals.

Sometimes it just feels lonely, working late nights without much of a sounding board. We get it.

That’s why we’re bringing together folks who’ve been in the same boat for a relaxed evening of chatting, questions, and some genuine advice.

Who's This For?

Straight talk? This is for any digital agency owner who's felt the pinch of trying to grow by themselves. If you've ever:

• Sat late at night wondering how to find that next client without relying on your mate Dave's word of mouth.
• Felt like you're playing a solo game, missing the camaraderie of having colleagues to chat with or brainstorm.
• Tried to explain your daily grind to friends or family, only to get blank stares or well-intended but off-mark advice.
• Faced the creeping weight of stress, thinking about the nitty-gritty details of running an agency.
• Wished for someone to give it to you straight, share some solid advice, or even just nod in agreement at your frustrations.

Well, you're in the right place. This evening is for you. Whether you're a seasoned agency owner or just starting out, come on over. We're all about real talk, shared experiences, and finding our way together.

Here's what you can expect:

• Real advice on getting clients: It’s tough out there. Let’s talk about practical ways you can grow without always waiting for that next referral.
• A break from the solo grind: Meet others who know the grind. Share a drink, exchange stories, and realise you’re not alone in this journey.
• Understanding from peers: Ever felt out of place amongst your friends? Here, you’ll be surrounded by folks who know the highs and lows of running a digital agency.
• Less stress, more solutions: It’s easy to get overwhelmed. Let’s talk about ways to handle the stress and find real-world solutions to everyday challenges.
• Keeping each other in check: With so many things on our plates, it’s easy to lose track. Let’s find ways to keep each other on our toes and accountable.
• Simple networking: No frills, no pretense. Just an easy evening to meet others in the field, share a laugh, and maybe even strike up a fruitful connection.

Getting there:
Piccadilly is your nearest train station. If you're driving, just park at the nearby Ducie Street private car park. Easy peasy.

A bit about the vibe: This isn't some stuffy, formal event. It’s about grabbing a drink, maybe some snacks, and just diving into good, honest conversations with people who get it. If you're tired of sitting in your home office and just want to chat with some folks who get the day-to-day of digital agency life, this is for you.

So, pop on over, have a drink with us, and let's have a good old chat about the ins and outs of our world.

Interested? Just RSVP on Meetup.

See you on the 3rd of October!
