WHY ARE WE DOING THE COURSE?

We're in one of the worst periods for digital and creative businesses - so the next 24 months we are dealing with a lot of unknowns. Not only are we facing the fallout from COVID-19, but at the end of the year, Brexit will officially happen - bringing more uncertainty.

But during times of crisis, there are opportunities to be found if you know where to look.

So to help agencies, we have brought together a set of steps that will turbo boost productivity and growth - sowing the right seeds for your future business to benefit and thrive over the next 18-24 months.

This is practical, tried and tested methods that have been already implemented by other agency owners on the course to great effect.

It's also brought to you by industry experts with current experience of building and running successful agencies.

FAQ

Who is the course for?
This course is designed for to impact the following two types of agencies.

‘Young and hungry’

Who it’s for:

3 years, or less, in age.
2-6* sized team (or slightly more if freelancers counted)
Any specialism
An Owner/Founder

You likely have moved from full time freelancer, or previous full time agency role to start your own agency.

You’ve had some momentum, referrals and client success, but you’re looking into how to build your agency into a growing business, find and engage with potential customers, and work to build forecastable income.

‘Small/Scale’

Who it’s for:

4-8 years old
3-14 sized team
Any specialism
An Owner/Founder, or the senior business development role in the team.

You’re considered small, but you’re ready to scale your agency.

You’ve built an agency that’s done OK, but things might have stalled, or dropped - and you want to look for growth and put in a better strategy to build up the agency team. It’s been running lean, but you want it to grow but are not sure where to start.

What's expected of my attending?
This is course group designed for those who are committed to moving forward and achieving their business goals. You need to put in the work from the coaching and guidance provided.

We'll support each group member to getting the work in place, and holding them accountable in developing their businesses through implementing what we share.

You'll need to be open-minded, show trust, and be open to sharing honest feedback and your thoughts to the group.

Who is the course NOT for?
Currently, we are only speaking to agencies in the UK, although this may change in the future.

The course isn't really for freelancers as you will likely only need this sort of development when you have progressed past freelancer stage.

If you're just looking for theory and no practical work - then you're in the wrong place! The tools and strategies shared are worked practically in the group, and you'll be supported in doing this.

How long is the course for?
#YB12W is a twelve-week (kinda says it in the title!) intensive to get your agency on the road to achieving your goals.

How is the course taught?
The course consists of two live coaching calls each week (these are also recorded each time - so you can reference at a later date if required). There are guest experts teaching and you will also have access to practical tools, templates, processes and calculators. You will have lifetime access to the online course materials.

Is there a community?
Yes! Community plays a large part of #YB12W. Students really appreciate meeting like-minded agency owners that offer support, advice and friendship. This has also led to collaborations between complementary agencies.

The #YB12W private community for each group is hosted on the Guild platform.

What happens after the course?
Many students enjoy the community element of #YB12W and bouncing ideas off other agency owners, so we offer an on-going alumni Mastermind group.

You'll get details about this towards the end of the course to see if this a good fit for your business.
