We’d love you to join us on Thursday 18 March at 6pm GMT online to be amongst the first in the world to see the full results from BenchPress 2021. Save your spot.
In 2012, we began our agency benchmarking report – BenchPress. The aim was simple; to take an accurate snapshot of agency life in the UK and to share insight and analysis with ambitious agency owners.
BenchPress has grown to become the largest survey of independent agency owners in the UK and is a great way to benchmark yourself against your peers.
The third cohort of the five week New Way of Working course starts on 29 March! The first two – attended by BJSS (tech consultancy), Mencap (UK charity), Haringey Council, Mercedes-Benz, Ofwat (UK government department), The Co-operative Group, The Soil Association, BIMM (University) – have been awesome!
On the course we dive into common org challenges, what makes a great team, the mindset that progressive ways of working requires, feedback, and decision-making. All the while using the most progressive and psychologically safe meeting practices. It also involves lots of cross-pollinating with others who are on similar journeys, plus plenty of experimenting in your own team, really aiming to build that experimentation muscle.
There are two spots left up for grabs!

Iain Blair, MD at Revoco will be sharing the good, the bad and the ugly of recruiting in tech.
He’ll offer a snapshot of how to successfully attract and hire talent in 2021 and some simple do’s and don’ts.
Iain has been in the technology recruitment and staffing sector for 25 years. At the age of 30 he set up his first business – which in 8 years grew to 140 staff and turnover in excess of £140 million. After agreeing his exit, Iain set up Revoco, in 2017. Revoco help clients hire better tech talent – from searching for one-off candidates with niche skills or project managing or the recruitment of entire teams to advising on Employer Value Proposition.
There is very little Iain hasn’t seen in the tech talent world – his experience in agency recruitment and in running in house (outsourced) talent functions has given him the full spectrum of what success looks like.

The sobering fact is, this is the average and it’s not uncommon for churn to be closer to 45% (a HUGE hole to fill). This results in unhappy teams, unhappy clients, lost marketing spend, lost time, lost effort, lost money – no wonder growth is so difficult?
