The real reasons your agency is not growing fast enough.

Sales needs a rebrand in the creative industry. Too often it’s overlooked and seen as the poor relation to the creative function within agencies. It shouldn’t be this way.

Incredibly, the UK’s world beating creative sector contributes £13M every hour to the economy. Yet, so many creative businesses and agencies still struggle to find consistent sales and growth. How can creatives rapidly grow their business?

A lot of creative agencies are unable to find regular and steady sales. They can achieve some short-term wins but then often get distracted whilst delivering those projects, only to find at the end of the process they haven’t got any new work.

Or, they try to do all of the selling themselves but instead find they get bogged down and distracted by the day-to-day running of their business. Many agencies focus heavily on the creative side and less on the sales side. Creatives, then, have a big problem with growth.

It needn’t be like this. There is a New Way, for New Business.

As we begin a new business year are there things that your agency could be doing to finally grow in a meaningful way?

It’s a challenge for small agencies to access the breadth of specialist skills required. Arguably, the perfect skills model doesn’t exist in-house for agencies with 50 or less staff. These are the reasons The Client Key have developed A New Way, for New Business.

The new way is proven, simple, lean and cost effective. The skill set of a full team, for less than the expense of an old school sales director. So you get experience, knowledge and expert skills across each core sales function. We are specialists within the creative agency sector. The Client Key helps you ‘uber-ise’ new business in your agency. Eg, faster, better, cheaper and with results that deliver sales.

If any of this resonates with you then please do get in touch. We’ll be running Rapid Growth workshops throughout January to help small agencies thrive in 2023. We’d love to hear from you.
