The Agency Accelerator

Back in 2019, I decided to start my own podcast. I have quite a lot to say about the agency world so thought it would be a great platform for me!

3 years later and over 100 episodes in, I thought I would share with you what I have learned and why podcasting might be a great marketing strategy for your agency.

This is episode 1 in a special 3-part series on podcasting.

Time Stamp

[01:40] The average number of podcasts someone creates before they give up is 7! 

[02:10] 8 reasons why podcasting is a great marketing strategy

[02:28] 1. Podcasts are easy to consume

[03:04] 2. It’s a great way to build your audience and build KNOW-LIKE-TRUST

[03:41] 3. It’s not expensive to start a podcast

[04:00] 4. Use guests as a way to grow your audience

[04:58] 5. Position yourself as an authority in your industry

[05:40] 6. It doesn't take a ton of time to produce a podcast

[06:25] 7. It’s fun and you will learn from your guests

[07:00] 8. Podcasting is still in its early days so it’s a great time to get onboard

[8:20] 9 lessons I have learned over the past 3 years

[08:24] 1. Know WHY you are creating a podcast and what you want to achieve

[09:19] 2. Be very clear about who your target listener is

[09:27] 3. Tackle their pains in each podcast episode

[09:40] 4. When recording an episode, imagine you are talking directly 1 on 1 with your listener

[10:13] 5. Don’t give up - keep at it even if you feel like no one is listening!

[11:12] 6. Have a plan to promote your podcast

[11:50] 7. If you use social media to promote your podcast, make sure the post itself, adds value (even if they don’t listen to the podcast)

[12:24] 8. As soon as you can, delegate/outsource the mechanics of producing your podcast

[13:20] 9. It is hard to get decent analytics for your podcast

What’s it like to scale an agency? And what challenges do you need to overcome? That’s the topic of today’s podcast and I am joined by someone who is extremely qualified to answer these questions!  

Erik Huberman, CEO of Hawke Media and author of the brand new book, The Hawke Method.

Erik went from making only $350 his first year in business to growing and selling two successful companies.

Today Hawke Media is the fastest growing marketing consultancy in the US and has been valued at over $150 million with 250+ employees and offices across the world.

Erik was very generous in sharing the knowledge he has gained, the mistakes he has made and some key tips for planning your agency’s growth.

So grab your pen & paper, your favourite drink and let’s get on with the show.

Time Stamp

[02:30] Why and how Erik started Hawk Media and grew it to over 300 staff in 8 years

[03:25] Why so many marketers and agencies are not great at what they do!

[06:25] What were your plans for growing Hawk Media?

[07:00] Hawk Media’s most painful years

[08:30[ The importance of a simple business plan - use a scoreboard - don’t overcomplicate things

[09:30] What are your future plans and how did Covid impact you?

[16:25] Key challenges and hurdles that get in the way to agency growth

[17:50] The importance of thinking of your agency as a SPORTS TEAM rather than a FAMILY

[18:30] Don’t hire ahead (i.e. don't base recruitment decisions on projections rather than actuals)

[19:15] Don't be the main salesmen as you grow

[21:00} How do you define success?

[23:45] Most successful business owners never sell their businesses (so build a self-running agency!)

[24:50] The importance of work/life balance

[30:35] Don’t think of the challenges your agency faces as ‘difficult’ - it's an unhealthy way to look at your business

[32:29] Don’t get frustrated when your team don’t perform like you. They are not entrepreneurs!

[33:28} Erik's new book: The Hawk Method

[36:00] Don’t catastrophise the challenges your agency faces every day! Change your mindset from ‘problems’ to ‘challenges’

Quotations

“99% of agencies and marketers have no idea what they are doing!” - Erik Huberman 

“We were in our puberty stage as an agency - everything didn't quite fit! Every agency goes through this as they grow” - Erik Huberman 

“Think of your agency as a sports team, not a family” - Erik Huberman

I’ve just come back from spending a month in South Africa. It’s something I’ve done several times before and I’m fortunate to be able to work from anywhere so this suits me really well and it allows me to escape some of the British winter!

On this trip, I was reminded of how aware one is when you are on vacation because you’re in new surroundings and experiencing new things. I realise when we are out of our normal routine, we are much more present yet when we are in our usual day-to-day grind we can spend too much time thinking about the past or worrying about the future.

This is really unhealthy. As Leo Tolstoy said, "There is only one time that is important - Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power” so in today’s episode we explore more on this topic. 

Time Stamp

[1:01] How I manage to spend a month in South Africa every year

[1:53] Why is it when we are on vacation, we are so much more present?

[2:20] Use all your senses to be much more present

[2:40] Why is it important to live in the present?

[3:40] My story of not living in the present

[4:45] The consequence of not living in the present

[5:45] We are creatures of habit, so you need to work on more positive habits (such as not living in the past or future!)

[6:45] Time is not real it’s just a human-made construct

[7:00] My terrifying flight – an example of living every moment!

[7:55] Right now is the only time that is important, because this is time we can control

[8:25] How this impacts day to day agency life

[8:57] How walking my dog helps me be present

[9:21] What can you consciously do to be more present?

Quotations

“Living in the past is just a memory you can’t change. Living in the future is a story we tell ourselves.” – Rob Da Costa

“The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness” – Abraham Maslow

“There is only one time that is important - Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power" – Leo Tolstoy

In a recent Self-Running Agency Group Call, I was asked how much time the owner should be investing in working on the future of their agency. I said approx 30% of the time. 

Many agency owners wish they could grow their businesses but are stuck on the “client service hamster wheel of doom” servicing clients and have no time to focus on the future of their agency. 

In today’s episode, I outline how you can start to change this.

Time Stamp

[01:35] Many agency owners are so entrenched in the day to day work - that is not a good way to run an agency!

[02:05] Why so many agency owners are the bottleneck to growth?

[02:05] 9 tips and ideas to start to change this

[02:27] Tip 1: The importance of having a clear vision so you maintain control of the direction of your agency

[03:56] Tip 2: Hire as soon as possible

[05:02] Tip 3: Hire the best you can afford

[05:50] Tip 4: Be a great delegator (unlike most entrepreneurs)

[06:36] Tip 5: Build your brand rather than making the brand YOU

[07:25] Tip 6: “Train your clients” - manage boundaries with them

[08:27] Tip 7: Be less available to your clients and protect your time

[10:25] Tip 8: Build a foundation for growth: put scalable systems & processes in place

[12:51] Tip 9: Develop an entrepreneurial mindset from day 1

[14:43] Recap of 9 tips

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Agency Accelerator Podcast! This is a huge milestone & I am super excited we got this far. And we have only just begun!

When I started this channel 2 years ago, I promised myself that I would commit week in & week out to record episodes, and it’s amazing how far we got.

For this episode, I wanted to come up with something special.

During this journey over the past 2 years, I've had over 40 guests on the podcast and, at the end of our conversation, I always ask them what piece of advice they would give to their younger selves starting out their business. So I decided to collate 40 of the best answers and give you an episode full of expert & valuable advice.

Enjoy the episode and don't forget you can also download this as a free book here.
