Wake Up Call: How agencies can confidently price their services

BCI Webinar

Most agency owners know they should review their pricing. Few actually do it because the maths feels complicated, there’s always client work to prioritise, and the conversation with clients feels uncomfortable.

The result? Rates based on gut feel, margins that erode silently, and the nagging sense that you’re busy but not as profitable as you should be.

In this practical 30-minute session, Aggie Wojciechowska, founder of Rocksteady Finance and finance partner to agencies, will discuss the most common pricing mistakes she sees in agencies, and share the framework she uses with clients to calculate true costs and find the rate you actually need to charge.

What you’ll take away:

  • The pricing mistakes that quietly destroy agency margins (you’re probably making at least one)
  • Why your margins can feel tight even when you’re fully booked
  • A simple framework to calculate your true cost per hour and required rate
  • How to turn pricing from a one-off guess into an ongoing process

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to approach your rate card, and access to a calculator you can use straight after the session to find your own pricing gap.

Who it’s for?

This session is for owners, founders, and finance leads at marketing, creative, PR, and digital agencies, particularly those in the £500,000–£3m revenue range who are growing but find that profit isn’t keeping pace with revenue.

If you’ve ever set a rate based on what “felt right” or what competitors charge, this one’s for you.
