You built this because you’re f*cking good at the work.
Then came a team, bigger projects, and a business side you’re still figuring out as you go.
For design agency founders with a team, and nobody in the business seat.
-
“Working with Skye has been an absolute game-changer for our business. Genuinely moved us forward.”
—Ryan, Founder of Thirty Six Digital
-
“Made all the difference.”
—Jack, Founder of Between Worlds
-
“We all need Skye! Can’t recommend her enough.”
—Angela, Founder of Love & Logic
You’re bigger now. But still figuring it out as you go.
The agency’s grown, but the foundations underneath it haven’t.
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.
That’s where it shows. Good people leaving for agencies that pay more. Clients who finish the project and leave. Hires that don’t fix the thing they were hired to fix.
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 intentionally, until it works again and again. Then it’s all written into your Playbook, so it runs the same way whether you’re in the room or not.
Clients stay and buy again, and you can afford the hires you keep putting off.
Meet Your Wingwoman 👋
I’m Skye. Fractional Strategy Officer for design 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Four businesses of my own that are no longer active, because I repeated the patterns I now spot ten steps out.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.
