Revenue’s up. The team’s flat out.
And there’s less left at the end of the month than when it was just you.
For design agency founders with a team, and nobody in the business seat but you.

You built this because you’re f*cking good at the work.
Somewhere in there you stopped opening the design files and started running the thing.
I know what you’ve tried, because I’ve watched it inside every agency I’ve been in. A project manager. Then an ops person. But none of them touched the root.
The agency grew and the foundation under it didn’t. That’s where the money goes. Margins that won’t support the next hire. Good people leaving for agencies that pay more. Clients who finish the project and leave.
Let the patterns continue and it’ll cost you the business.
It’s simple to fix once you’ve found the root.
Phase #1
Under the Bonnet
The root problem gets named before anything else gets touched.
Phase #2
The Right Parts
The strategy gets shaped around the root problem, not the symptoms or surface ones.
Phase #3
The Test Drive
It gets tested on purpose, until it works again and again.
Clients stay and buy again, and you can afford the hires you keep putting off.
An agency was averaging £1k-3k per sale. We restructured into one £12k offer. Three qualified prospects in week one. First £12k sale closed in week two.
Meet Your Wingwoman 👋
I’m Skye. Fractional Strategy Officer for design-led agencies. Based in London.
A decade as a Creative Director inside agencies. In every one the founder said “I need a right-hand person.” I became that person, without the title or the pay.
Four businesses of my own that are no longer active, because I repeated the patterns I now spot ten steps out.
I’m blunt, I laugh a lot, and I’m not your to-do list 😉
I won’t promise X amount of money in a certain amount of time. If you don’t implement, the results won’t come.
