How do agencies stack up in 2025?

The results are in for BenchPress 2025. The UK’s largest benchmarking survey for independent agencies has revealed some surprising (and shocking) trends about the state of the industry.

To break it all down, Rory Spence, Head of Commercial at The Wow Company, joins us to unpack the data, trends, and opportunities that agency leaders need to know.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why 2024 was a brutal year for many agencies (and how to bounce back)
• Profitability trends and how top-performing agencies maintain strong margins
• AI’s growing role in agency operations (and the pricing mistake you must avoid)
• The power of confidence in agency success - and how to build it

If you're focused on making your agency more efficient and financially stronger, these insights will help you drive meaningful change.
