Agency Hackers

When your agency starts to grow, the cracks in your career structure start to show. That’s where a competency framework comes in; a simple, structured way to show what progress actually looks like. Rhian Peebles, founder of The Sitch, has helped agencies build frameworks that everyone can get behind. “It makes development feel achievable,” she says. “And if you’ve got a framework, it takes the emotion out of those appraisal and feedback conversations. It’s not personal - it’s just clear.” You’ll leave this session knowing exactly how to start - how to map roles, define levels, test the language, and make a competency framework part of your everyday culture. https://agencyhackers.zoom.us/meeting/register/67ncHbwJRAu4ibK_HekoYg 83142744417

"Agencies listen to and talk a lot about AI. They try a lot of different tools - but there are actually custom ways of doing things. It’s not one-size-fits-all,” says Khushbu Doshi, chief operating officer at E2M Solutions. “What we do is we help them identify the opportunities.” For Khushbu especially, this is about the repetitive work that eats up agency time. If your team spends more time sending updates than doing the work itself, this session will show you how to fix that - with connected, practical AI solutions. https://agencyhackers.zoom.us/meeting/register/ojASg8d1S2KSlXO4-gGx2g 81386281284

Agencies don’t often talk about their legal horror stories — but Alistair Wells thinks they should. “People always love hearing other people’s stories of disasters, says Alistair, founder of Tend Legal. “But you learn more from mistakes than success. There are so many examples: shareholder disputes, client contracts gone wrong, co-founder bust-ups. And people always ask afterwards, what could have been done differently?” In this session, Alistair will shine a light on the messy side of agency life — the moments when things fall apart - and how you can avoid them happening to you. https://agencyhackers.zoom.us/meeting/register/0PJIWu5LTvKZTMT3XICY8g 82276576402

In his previous agency role, Harv Nagra was already deep in operations - then a new COO arrived. “He told me to go and look at a business maturity model,” Harv explains. “It gave me a really clear understanding of where we were — and where we had gaps in our maturity.” It wasn’t about revenue. It wasn’t about talent. It was about how well the business actually ran - and as Harv said, where the business needed to grow up, and fast. That perspective stuck. At Scoro, Harv has turned that moment into something bigger - a Business Maturity Quiz designed to help agencies see, clearly and quickly, where they really sit across People, Process, Technology, Data and Growth. With over 300 agencies taking part, Harv will be joined in this session by Manish Kapur and Rich Brett to unpack what separates Chaotic, Stable and Data-Driven firms - and why so many agencies think they’re doing fine… until they actually measure it. https://agencyhackers.zoom.us/meeting/register/jwnb7_dTReiaKttfdLBsDQ 84475093753
