Wake Up Call: 9 lessons learned leading a digital agency through several years of rapid growth
BCI Webinar
9 years ago Ryan accepted a role to join Dan Fallon and team at a small independent PPC agency in Bath called SearchStar.
Over the course of the next 5 years the team grew from 18 to 60, they multiplied revenue by 4 times, retained profitability levels and successfully sold to a Global Localisation company.
In this breakfast talk, Ryan will share some of the key lessons learnt during that rapid period of growth and answer the most common questions he’s asked about that time. He may also briefly tell us about some of the more interesting things that happened after the acquisition too.

CMO’s Guide to Peak Performance

Watershed, 1 Canons Road, Harbourside, BS1 5TX
Conference
It’s time to redefine ‘peak’ performance. A narrow focus on driving sales during the spending frenzy of Q4 won’t secure the long-term, sustainable customer connections your organisation needs to adapt to a turbulent economy and a challenging marketing landscape.
Launch’s October event makes space for CMOs to reimagine ‘peak’ into a state of being for their marketing efforts, and identify the framework needed to make this possible.
