For marketing agencies

Lead generation for marketing agencies. Not the referral lottery.

You run outreach for your clients and never for yourself. We find the brands that need what you do, start a conversation in your voice, and book the first meeting into your diary, every week, whether or not a referral turns up.

For agency founders and new business leads at agencies of 3 to 50 people who want a pipeline they can plan a quarter around.

01The problem

Sounds familiar? It should. We hear it every week.

Referrals you cannot plan around

The 2026 AgencyAnalytics benchmark report found personal networks still drive the majority of agency new business. Lovely when it comes. Impossible to plan a hire or a lease around.

The cobbler's children

Every agency has a new business plan. It is the first thing dropped when a client goes live, and the last thing picked up when a client leaves. By then the gap is three months wide.

Pitching late

By the time a brief lands you are one of four agencies and the budget is set. The agencies that win are the ones already in the conversation before the brief exists.

What we run instead

02What we run

Four ways in. One meeting in your diary.

Your LinkedIn, plus our salespeople who join your team on it, aimed at marketing directors and founders at the kinds of brands you already do your best work for. Inboxes that land. A friendly text. And a British caller who rings every interested reply within 24 hours, so the first meeting is with someone who already wants to talk.

Salespeople on LinkedIn

Your profile, plus ours on your team. Around 450 personal connection requests a week to the people who buy what you do.

Inboxes and SMS

Warmed-up inboxes that land, and a friendly text so nobody goes cold between the reply and the call.

British callers

Every interested reply rung within 24 hours, qualified, and booked into your diary with notes.

Your own CRM login

Every message, reply and call in one place, live. A weekly report you can check against your calendar.

We set everything up with you on day one. After that you do not write a message, send an email or pick up a phone. You just turn up to the meetings.

06Questions

The ones we get asked first.

If it does not add up on your numbers, I say so on the call. Ben.

Should an agency offer free audits to win clients?

Only to people who have already agreed to a call. A free audit sent cold gets read and filed, because the prospect has not decided to change anything yet. Ask for the conversation first and send the work before it, so it lands with someone who has made time for you.

Is pay per appointment lead generation worth it for an agency?

It can be, if the meeting is defined tightly. Published per-appointment pricing runs £300 to £600 a meeting. Judge any model on one sum: what you paid divided by meetings held with people who fit your brief.

Retainer or pay per meeting →

We already do outbound for clients. Why would we use you?

Because you do it for them and not for you. Every agency owner tells us the same thing: the new business plan is the first casualty of a busy month. We run yours every week regardless, and we report on it like a client would expect.

Will it sound like us?

Yes. On the setup call we go through how you talk, the work you are proudest of and the clients you want more of. The messages are written in that voice and you see them before they go out.

Which brands do you target?

The ones that look like your best clients: sector, size, the marketing roles they are hiring for, the agencies they have just parted with. Buying signals first, then the list.

What does a meeting cost?

Modelled, £98 to £197 per qualified meeting, depending on your market. Paid ads for agency terms run £500 to £1,200 a meeting once the form fills are qualified. We work out your numbers on the 1-to-1.

Do you work with agencies that compete with each other?

We do not run the same list for two agencies at once. If you work in a niche, say so on the setup call and we check before we start.
