When I helped sell and exit a niche agency in the orthodontic space, one thing became crystal clear: we didn't grow by chasing everything.We grew by staying focused, building trust, and saying no to the wrong opportunities — even when it felt risky.It wasn't loud, but it was strategic, and it worked.And that approach?It's not just relevant — it's exactly what works in today's skeptical market.Clients are more cautious. Referral partners are more selective. And hustle-heavy growth tactics? They're falling flat.What I'm seeing across the agencies I work with — and inside Agency Together — is a shift:

Many agencies focus heavily on new business, chasing logos and cold leads—while the biggest growth opportunity is already in front of them. In this episode of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast, Dan Englander is joined by Matt Pensinger, founder of Accelerate Advisors and former EVP at Jack Morton, to talk about how agencies can stop leaving money on the table and start expanding inside existing accounts.Watch our latest video training, How to Take Charge of Your Agency's Future Revenue. During this training, you'll learn how we get qualified appointments every week using tasteful and highly targeted email outreach.Drawing from over a decade of experience working with major brands like McDonald's, P&G, and Diageo, Matt shares how agency leaders can build deeper relationships, navigate client-side politics, and turn trust into long-term revenue. You'll also learn why in-housing doesn't have to mean losing the account, how to build a win-back campaign, and what separates the agencies that stay top-of-mind from the ones that don't.This week's episode is all about building client trust, navigating internal change, and unlocking untapped growth within your current book of business. In this episode, Dan and Matt discuss the following:Why agencies over-prioritize new business and overlook their biggest assetThe importance of relationship mapping inside complex client organizationsWhat to do when your point of contact leaves the companyWhen churn is actually a good thingHow to re-engage lapsed clients with a win-back strategyWhy origin stories and strategic perspective matter in pitchesHow to have better conversations around in-housing and agency valueThank you for listening!

One of the biggest challenges growing nonprofits face is plateauing—doing all the right things but not breaking through to the next level of impact and funding. In this episode, I talk about the core reason behind this: a lack of strategic alignment. I explain why organizations need to align three critical elements—strategic direction, a true cost financial roadmap, and a revenue model. When these pillars work together, nonprofits can achieve the kind of growth that's both sustainable and impactful. Tune in to learn the keys to creating that alignment and avoid common mistakes that keep nonprofits stuck.What You'll Learn:How to align your annual plan, budget, and fundraising strategyWhy strategic alignment is critical to organizational growthKey signs that your organization is stuck and how to move forwardKey Takeaways:Strategic alignment between your annual plan, budget, and revenue model fuels sustainable growth.A true cost budget, not just last year's budget stretched thin, is essential for making smart decisions.Your fundraising efforts need to be deeply connected to your impact story to build trust with donors.The synergy between your pillars helps your board become better advocates and fundraisers.Aligning these elements empowers you to make bolder multi-year fundraising asks.Step-by-Step Process for Strategic Alignment:Strategic Direction: Clearly define your impact goals and strategies. These should be captured in your annual plan, aligned with your long-term strategic plan.Financial Roadmap: Create a true cost budget that reflects what it will take to achieve those goals, not just a rework of last year's numbers.Revenue Model: Develop a strategy for how you'll bring in the necessary resources—identify your potential supporters, craft your messaging, and plan how you'll ask for contributions.Alignment: Ensure that all three elements (annual plan, budget, revenue model) tell the same story about your organization's impact.Resources Mentioned:Aligned Anchors Bundle: A comprehensive toolkit that includes workshops, templates for annual plans, true cost budgets, and fundraising calendars designed to help you align your strategies and accelerate your growth.Want to work together?
