THE GROWTH CONFERENCE FOR AGENCY LEADERS

THANKS FOR JOINING US AT
GYDA SUMMIT 2025!

We hope that you enjoyed the summit as much as we did! Grab a cuppa and check out some tools to help you run your agency smarter.

GYDA STRATEGY WORKBOOK

Running an agency is not easy. It is certainly not as easy as everyone makes out… or is it? Taking you through a series of thought-provoking strategic exercises the GYDA – Strategy Workbook works to create a clearly defined strategy to take your digital agency to the next level. The workbook is unique, it makes you address every aspect of your life… make plans for the business, for your professional career and for your private life.

The workbook has two parts. Part One takes you through a strategy workout and Part Two is a journal to hold you accountable to the goals you have set. Are you game?

Here are Three of our Top Resources:

  • Agency Utilisation Calculator

    Do you know your agency's utilisation rate? 

    Use this calculator to work out the ‘utilisation rate’ for your agency.

    Why? Because utilisation holds the key to your growth as a business. Too low and you’re leaving money on the table. Too high and morale becomes crushed and employee turnover increases.

    It doesn’t matter if you have a team of 2 or 300, understanding utilisation and taking steps to improve it can be the catalyst for growth.

    The best bit, you don’t need timesheets to figure out.

  • Agency Accelerator Canvas

    The AAC (Agency Accelerator Canvas) is a single-page strategy and planning tool to help ignite the growth of your agency.

    Why does it work? Because it creates focus, defines our vision, sets out what we’re trying to achieve, and most importantly, how we’ll get there.

    It’s NOT full of business school jargon, and it sits on a single page so it can hang proudly on your wall as a daily reminder of what you're striving to achieve.

    Print it out, run a half-day workshop, share it with your team, and finally start growing your agency like you know you can.

  • Shares and EMI schemes for Agencies

    Along with other tactics, we often encourage our clients to use the power of equity as a lever for growth and to build a better business, with an invested team.

    We’ve put together this simple, easy-to-understand guide to give you the lowdown on how equity and shares work and the knowledge you need to share ownership of your agency and motivate key people in the right way.

    What it includes: Why incentivis, the difference between shares, options and EMI schemes, conditions (when they kick in). deciding how much to give and types of shares.

  • Coaching, Mentoring and NED

    Work one-to-one with a GYDA consultant, coach or mentor and get the help you and your agency need to improve performance and grow. Solve specific problems and uncover new and better ways of doing things.

    Need one-to-one support? Coaching and mentoring, on a one-to-one basis may provide the support you need. Consultancy focuses on issues in the business; coaching and mentoring work far more with the agency leader(s) to improve their own skills over time.

    Fee: £1.5k-£2.5k per month
