Now we’re halfway through 2025, we’re asking, ‘How are you doing?’. Towards the end of Q1, while things weren’t terrible, it was still quite a rocky time.

“We’ve had a good start to the year, but that’s thanks to one big client win. If that wasn’t there… it’d be a different story.”
“It’s still very up and down… pitches are out there, but it’s very competitive.”
“I think we’re all just surviving, rather than thriving.”

Challenges remain. Client confidence is shaky. Sales cycles are still low. And for many, decision-making feels more complex than ever.

“Clients are pitching and then saying, ‘Oh, we haven’t got the budget yet.’ Or they say it’s a three-way pitch, and suddenly you’re one of eight.”
“Clients are choosing more and more to do it themselves — and they want agencies to continually add value. That’s really, really challenging.”

But there has been SOME movement, and a growing sense that 2025 might not be a total write-off as it was first feared. At the end of Q2, we’re checking in again. What say you? How’s your pipeline? How’s your team? And how confident are you for the rest of the year? Join us as we take a temperature check on agency life, and figure out what’s really going on out there.
