AGENCY LEADER
GROWTH CLUB

Reinventing & Re-imagining
PR & Comms Consulting

2023

HELPING AGENCIES TO EVOLVE AND THRIVE

When the inaugural Agency Leader Growth Club kicked off in 2020, we had no idea of the changes and disruptions ahead.

The turbulence and shifts continue with market volatility, inflationary pressures and talent shortages. 

The agencies that continue to innovate and push the envelope will be the ones that thrive despite the bumpy economic road thrive. 

The Agency Leaders Growth Club is for agency leaders interested pushing the envelope further strategically and creatively about what and how PR & Comms can help clients navigate the future.

The next Agency Leader Growth Club will start in February 2023.

The Growth Club is for agency leaders who want to focus intensively on innovating and growing their business. 

The opportunity is to get expert mentoring and interact and network with like-minded peers from Australia and New Zealand.

Please get in touch if you would like to be part of Agency Leader Growth Club in 2023. 

Best regards

DRIVING INNOVATION AND CHANGE:
THE THREE-BOX SOLUTION

During the program we will use several different strategic models to look at how to innovate and drive change to meet the evolving marketplace.

The Three Box Solution was developed by Vijay Govindarajan of Harvard Business School. The concept is that the first box is a strategic plan to run the businesses more efficiently for high performance. The next box looks at what a business needs to stop doing to make way for innovation.  The third box looks at how the business can invent new business models to create the future.  

By balancing the three boxes, managers can resolve the inherent tension of innovating a new business while running a high-performing business.

TESTIMONIALS

“We realized that we were pouring all of our effort and considered strategic thought into our team and our clients. But we weren’t doing the same for ourselves as leaders, as co founders, and as people planning out a business. So, the Agency Leaders Club was a great opportunity for us to invest in ourselves to better ourselves to hopefully better our leadership for our team.”

“We thought it was a wonderful opportunity to get some one-on-one coaching from Amanda, and also to meet some other like-minded businesses. It’s not often you get to do that, especially in other states, and to hear about what they’re doing and the challenges they’re facing.

ABOUT AMANDA

I’ve spent my career consulting in public relations with more than a decade’s experience in agency senior management positions.

For the past ten years I’ve helped agency owners and CEOs profitably grow and structure their agencies.

I’m uniquely placed to offer specialist advice to agency owners and senior executives having worked in a range of senior client facing, business development and senior agency roles including; Managing Director of H+K Strategies and Edelman Australia.

I’ve steered agencies through major downturns – tech bubble burst, the GFC and COVID-19 in 2020/21.

Post-Covid is different.  Much has changed and agencies need to adapt and evolve to grasp the opportunities on offer and grow sustainably.

I’m keen to share my experience to help agencies grow profitably amid market challenges.
