Listen Later

What if your next big growth opportunity isn’t in winning new clients but keeping the ones you already have?

In this episode of Marketing Momentum for Agencies, I talk with Remeny Armitage, founder of Brilliant & Human, who has spent 20+ years helping agencies uncover what their clients really think and turning that insight into loyalty, advocacy, and profit.

We talk about:

- The three biggest mistakes that quietly kill client relationships

- How one agency went from 22% to 77% client satisfaction

- Why price isn’t why you’re losing pitches and what actually is

- The art of onboarding, expectation-setting, and being human in a digital world

This is your no-fluff guide to client retention, packed with stories, humour, and actionable ideas you can use right away.
