How Our Services Work For Digital Agency Owners
When we’re in the early stages of consultation with a new partner, the most common question that crops up is ‘How do your services work?’
If you’ve taken a look around our website chances are you will have seen our two methods or core services on offer to digital agency owners: Mastermind Groups and Coaching & Mentoring Programs.
Our bi-monthly Mastermind Groups provide a peer-to-peer learning and networking environment for agency owners and are a brilliant way to share ideas, learning and insights with other like-minded professionals.

How Do DAC’s Coaching & Mentoring Programs Work
Participating in our Coaching & Mentoring program generally follows this engagement process:
Onboarding - This where the scope of work is agreed and all our reciprocal learning and understanding is carried out.
Building - Together, we put together a strategy and a plan based on our learnings from Step One
Execution - As the name suggests, Stage Three is where we execute the plan and start to grow your agency.
1-Onboarding
This is where we get to know each other. We’ll begin with a discovery session, where our consultant will ask you to share details and insights about your agency's current status and any plans, aspirations and goals you have for the future.
This then is reviewed, packaged and shared with you. We’ll put together a presentation that summarises your goals, business position and the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for your agency. We’ll also detail a top-level roadmap and a handful of quick wins for you to implement then and there which are guaranteed to have an immediate effect on your business from day one.
This onboarding phase usually takes a month to complete and once we have this understanding we can put together a plan and roadmap for us to move forward with.
2-Building
This is where we put together your growth strategy. We’ll use our Agency Accelerator Canvas to break down your business plan into achievable, bite-sized objectives, milestones and KPI’s for you and your team.
Our consultants will work with you to formulate a plan and share insight, context, benchmarks and tactics from our portfolio of the 250 digital agencies we’ve worked with. Creating these objectives and key results and writing your business strategy usually takes about 6-8 weeks to complete.
3- Executing
Stage three, execution, makes up around 75-85% of our program and where we put our planning into practice and start to make big, impactful changes to your agency’s operations.
You’ll meet with your consultant weekly for 10-15 minute progress meetings to keep your accountability in check and make sure things are running smoothly. Between these sessions and our ongoing, ‘always-on’, ad-hoc support, you’ll execute the daily and weekly tasks in your business plan.
Every four weeks we’ll set aside a few hours to plan for the coming month and set the KPI’s to make sure the overarching plan is still in sight - then each quarter, we work to orchestrate a full review of the work completed and the work ahead and make any necessary changes to the master plan.
How Long Does Each Coaching Program Take?
We work deeply with a small roster of agencies at any one time as our Coaching & Mentoring Programs are long-term relationships that deliver long-term, long-lasting results. The average timeline for these programs is anywhere between 12 to 18 months, depending on your capacity.
Sound Good?
