What kind of agencies does NowNextWhy work with?
We specialise in working with creative, digital, marketing, and design agencies that are ready to grow, evolve, or exit. Whether you’re scaling a creative agency, refining your positioning, or preparing your agency for sale, our advisory services are built to support founder-led businesses in the creative industry.
How can a strategic agency audit help my business grow?
A 360° agency review helps uncover what’s holding your agency back. From operational inefficiencies to unclear positioning, our strategic agency audits deliver actionable insights across clients, culture, profitability, and growth strategy to improve performance and increase long-term agency value.
I feel stuck as a founder - is this for me?
Yes. Many agency founders feel overwhelmed or isolated at key growth stages. Our leadership coaching and board advisory provide ongoing strategic support, acting as a sounding board for business decisions, helping you scale with confidence, and preventing founder burnout in creative agency leadership.
How do you help agencies grow profitably?
We focus on improving agency profitability through strategic planning, pricing optimisation, service mix evaluation, and margin analysis. Our growth advisors identify where value is leaking and how to fix it, ensuring you scale your creative agency without sacrificing profit.
How is this different from standard consulting?
Unlike general business coaches, we offer sector-specific advisory for creative, marketing, and digital agencies. Our approach blends strategic planning, leadership coaching, brand clarity, and M&A expertise, all tailored to the unique challenges of agency founders. Whether you need a growth roadmap, an agency audit, or exit planning, our support is deeply contextual, founder-first, and built to deliver long-term value.
I'm thinking of selling my agency, can you help?
Absolutely. We offer full-service M&A advisory specifically for creative agencies. From agency valuation and sale readiness to buyer profiling and post-acquisition integration, we help you prepare for exit, increase agency value, and navigate the emotional and strategic side of selling your agency.
