Hi I’m Janusz

Advisor to high growth agencies, across the globe.

I help digital agency owner/founders with growth.

Whether your agency is growing fast, mature and ready to extract value or stuck in the weeds, I’ll help to deliver time and financial freedom, mostly likely by helping to improve your commercial performance through strategy, positioning, marketing and sales, leadership and operational scaling.

I’m proud to have worked with over 400 of the world’s top agencies in various sectors, who range from teams sized 4 to 500. Delivering impact in strategy, positioning, marketing and sales, leadership and operational scaling.

At GYDA, a global growth advisory firm at which I am founder and managing partner our proven method for growth has been trusted by and delivered on behalf of partners such as Google, Youtube, NTU Business school. It’s a method that has been honed through my own agency founder journey and through working in an advisory capacity for others. There’s no waffle.

Is this you?

No two agencies are running the same race, growth is rarely linear. As such the agencies I work with can typically be described as being in one of the following three phases of agency lifecycle. And the good news - regardless of whether you’re growing, evolving or making moves, I’m here to help.

Stalled

Your growth has plateaued, you’re fighting fires and getting stuck in the weeds. Business feels challenging and profitability has shrunk to negligible levels - hindering investment and growth. You feel underpaid, you’re managing creative or technical teams, clients are demanding and revenue is more like a rollercoaster than a predictable financial pipeline. You’d like to fix key issues and unlock predictable, scalable growth.

Growing

You’ve grown and continue to grow organically. You’re considering what to do next. The agency is stable and feels largely predictable. You’re perhaps considering launching new services, entering new markets, leadership team development, repositioning or potentially growth through acquisition. You’d like help planning the strategy and securing continued growth into the medium and long term.

Exiting

You’ve built a great business, you’ve reached your peak and there’s value in the business at a financial, brand, client/market share and team level. You’d like to extract this (or some of this) value and would like to plan for exit, EOT, M&A or perhaps a ‘grow to keep’ model which removes you from the day-to-day, but locks in long term value.

How I can help

  • Working on a 1:1 (or 1: few) basis with owner/founder, directors or boards, on a NED or uNED (Un-appointed NED) basis. Helping with business strategy, planning and tactical challenges. Typical engagements encompass rolling monthly meetings and regular, online traction sessions, plus ad-hoc (phone/WhatsApp) support.

    Circa £1000-£2500 pcm

  • Agency Growth training programs for cohorts of digital agencies, delivered in partnership with channel partners. 

    Previous programs have been delivered for Google Premier Partners, Google Shopping Partners, NTU Business School and BCI.

    Please enquire to discuss a potential scope.

  • I chair exclusive, intimate cohorts of agency leaders, delivering a peer-to-peer coaching experience. Capped at 15 members per group.

    Cohorts meet consistently and regularly at full-day Mastermind sessions - held every quarter. We start with dinner, a time to relax and engage together, stepping out of your day-to-day time to reset.

    Waking up refreshed and ready, we spend the full day working on your business. You’ll deep-dive into your agency, your personal and professional ambitions and growth blockers. You’ll share ideas, solve individual (and shared) challenges, and create momentum.

    Once a quarter, we meet virtually – maintaining accountability and focus.

    Membership by application only.

  • As an internationally recognised public speaker, I bring a wealth of experience and insight to every engagement.

    We are aiming for one of the best years we have ever had - 80-90% growth in profit. Our costs have decreased, we sacked non-profitable clients and we are charging for the things, that we didn't take money for before.” And I must give a lot of credit to you, it’s changed the way we think of our business.”

    Janusz is a game changer. From the beginning of our working together, my agency has felt the benefit, from top to bottom. Janusz has a way of making everything seem simple and straightforward. The benefits I’ve seen so far are amazing and I cannot wait to see what’s next!

  • Elizabeth Morely, NTU Business School

    The session you delivered was inspiring, you could tell how much the agencies took away from it, I hope you know how good you are at what you do.

    Michał Maj, Brave New

    It’s been a time of tremendous personal and professional growth, and your support has profoundly impacted me. It’s also significantly affected my business. For the first time in my life, I can genuinely say I’ve had a mentor. I was deeply impressed by your ability to assess situations, separate emotions, and truly get to the “heart of the problem.” It’s an incredible skill, and I encourage you to keep nurturing it! It has brought so much value to my 2024.

  • Ann Stanley, Annica

    Ann Stanley, Annica

    It has been brilliant having a coach who just focused on helping us achieve our plans - especially by introducing the use of OKRs with our Senior Management Team. As a result we achieved significant growth of around 80% with the same number of employees.n goes here
