About this Event

Agency Folk Mastermind Lunch - 15th October
--
Note: This exclusive and intimate event is for agency leaders (directors and decision-makers) with 50+ team members. For more information, please see below.

As the wise African proverb tells us...
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
--
Running a bigger agency comes with bigger challenges - and bigger opportunities. This exclusive lunch brings together a hand-picked group of agency leaders who understand what it takes to scale, lead, and thrive with 50+ people in the team.
Over a private dining experience with no more than 10 guests, we’ll dive into the real conversations that matter:
> How to attract and retain top talent
> Winning new business (without burning out your team)
> Keeping clients happy (and staying profitable)
> Navigating growth pains, tough decisions, and market shifts
> The realities of leadership – the highs, the lows, and the stuff that keeps you up at night
Expect frank, no-fluff discussions with people who ‘get it’. It’s like group therapy for agency leaders - where every conversation is supportive and confidential (Chatham House Rules), challenges are shared, and wins are celebrated.


💡 Why join?
1. Connect with equals – Sit down with other leaders of bigger agencies who understand your world.
2. Learn from the hive mind – Leave with actionable ideas, fresh perspectives, and maybe even a breakthrough or two.
3. Build meaningful connections – This isn’t networking, it’s relationship-building.
4. Leave recharged – Walk away with clarity, confidence, and a few great stories.

With a 95% approval rating from previous Mastermind guests, these lunches are described as "the most valuable conversation I’ve had all year."
Spaces are strictly limited to 10 agency leaders. If you lead an agency with 50+ team members and want to share, learn, and be inspired by other top-tier leaders – take your seat at the table.
