Feeling Stuck?
You’re Asking the Wrong Questions.
I help marketing agency owners move from STANDSTILL to STANDOUT by challenging how they think, position, and grow.
Your agency doesn’t need more answers. It needs better questions.
You’re not short on ideas. You’re not lacking in tools, tech, or tactics. But still, something’s off. Your agency isn’t growing like it should – or like it once did. The team feels stretched. You’re stuck in the weeds, fighting fires, reacting more than leading.
This isn’t just a strategy issue. It’s a thinking issue. And that’s where I come in.
I’m Gareth Healey – a former agency owner turned strategic advisor. I work with agency leaders who are ready to stop spinning plates and start thinking differently. In a world full of templated answers, AI-generated answers, and a growing crowd of agency coaches and consultants, I offer something more powerful: better questions.
What I’ve learned in my 8 year career as an agency advisor is that it’s not about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions – the ones that unlock clarity, challenge assumptions, and help you make smarter decisions with more confidence. That’s how you move from STANDSTILL to STANDOUT – by thinking sharper, leading stronger, and growing with intention.
STANDSTILL vs STANDOUT: Which agency are you building?
After 15 years running my own agency and 8 years advising others, I’ve seen the same pattern over and over again:
STANDSTILL AGENCIES
- Rely on referrals
- Say ‘Yes’ to everything
- Automate but don’t think
- Hire reactively
- Avoid tough decisions
- Chase growth blindly
STANDOUT AGENCIES
- Drive their own pipeline
- Say ‘No’ strategically
- Use AI + insight to lead
- Build intentionally
- Face challenges with clarity
- Grow on purpose
The difference isn’t more knowledge. It’s sharper thinking.
What I Do - Monthly Consulting for Agency Owners
I don’t come armed with a playbook or plug-and-play answers.
I bring something better: structured conversations, the right questions, and the space to think clearly.
I work with agency owners on a one-to-one monthly basis to:
- Identify what’s holding the agency back
- Ask better questions that challenge assumptions
- Create a clear path from stuck to standout
The format:
- Monthly 2-hour sessions (remote or in-person)
- Clear follow-ups and actions
- Support between sessions via email, WhatsApp, or Slack
This isn’t coaching. It’s consulting – but built on conversation, provocation, and accountability.
Who I Work With
I work exclusively with owners of marketing, digital, and creative agencies who:
- Turn over between £400k and £4M
- Know the business could grow faster – but aren’t sure what’s in the way
- Are still too involved in the day-to-day
- Want clarity, challenge, and space to think
If you want to build a more profitable, scalable agency – and are ready to be challenged – I can help!
What You’ll Get – The Outcomes
I won’t promise a silver bullet. But when we work together, here’s what you’ll come away with:
- Clarity on what’s really holding the agency back
- A stronger, more differentiated positioning
- Better financial performance and smarter pricing
- A plan to reduce dependency on you
- More confidence to lead with focus and direction
And most of all:
A shift from reactive firefighting to strategic leadership.
How I Work – Better Questions, Not More Answers
The agencies that grow aren’t the ones that automate more. They’re the ones that think better.
AI is powerful. Tools are useful. But neither can replace clear thinking, critical reflection, and good judgment.
I don’t turn up with the answers. I ask the questions that change everything:
- The kind that expose the real problems
- The kind that open up new thinking
- The kind that drive better decisions
Because real growth starts with better questions.
