Agency-specific, not generic
Built for creative, digital and design agencies. Pricing creative work, structuring retainers, managing client concentration, the levers that move agency valuations, not generic small-business advice.
Northern Ireland · Creative agency coaching
Business coaching for NI agencies, built on a sale.
For creative agency founders across Northern Ireland. From a coach who built a £2.2M agency in Belfast over thirteen years, then sold it. Frameworks tested in this market, not borrowed from a Boston podcast.
The NI story
Built in Belfast, works across NI.
I started my agency in 2009 and ran it for thirteen years before selling in 2020 and exiting fully in 2022. £2.2M revenue, a team of forty, all built from a base in Belfast.
NI agencies share a set of friction points the rest of the UK doesn't: talent that gets pulled to Dublin and London, a local client base that under-prices creative work, the cost-of-living arbitrage that flips when senior people leave. Most coaching content ignores that. The frameworks here don't.
I work with founders across Northern Ireland. Belfast, Derry, Lisburn, Newry, Bangor, anywhere. Remote by default, in-person when it helps a particular decision.

Why this works for NI agencies
Not just another business coach.
Exit experience, not theory
I've actually sold one. I know what buyers look at because I had buyers look at mine. The frameworks come from the diligence questions that landed, not the ones I read about.
NI market context
The talent pool, the pricing ceilings, the cross-border client flow with the Republic, the public sector spend pattern. Local context shapes the advice.
Track record
NI clients have broken £1M run-rate, doubled net profit, signed first proper retainers, and reached genuine owner independence. Specific examples on the case studies page.
Across Northern Ireland
Belfast first, NI-wide always.
Belfast-based, but the work spans Northern Ireland. Most calls run remote, in-person available for Belfast-area founders when a decision benefits from a room.
