OOS for Agencies

The Agency Belief Audit

The Belief Audit written specifically for creative agency leadership. New business anxiety. AI disruption. Talent drain. The beliefs that are causing those problems are almost never the ones on the agenda.

Why agencies specifically

Mike's CV is the brief.

R/GA, AnalogFolk, MediaMonks, Dare, Poke, Contagious. Mike knows how agency leadership teams think under pressure: they optimise for the pitch, defer the hard conversation, and call it momentum.

The Agency Belief Audit runs the same 90-minute format as the standard audit but with prompts calibrated to the specific belief gaps that show up repeatedly in creative services leadership:

"We believe in the work but we’re not sure clients still do" (Belief 05: Creativity builds culture)
"AI is eating our margin and we don’t know how to talk about it" (Belief 03: Future literacy is essential)
"Our senior team disagrees on where the agency goes next" (Belief 02: Better is possible)
"We’ve lost the founding energy but nobody will say it out loud" (Belief 10: The future is still to be written)

How it works

Three parts. Ninety minutes.

Pre-session

Each leadership team member completes a short belief survey, anonymously. Agency-specific prompts: new business win rate, client relationship beliefs, AI adoption stance, talent retention outlook.

Session (90 min)

Mike facilitates around the three beliefs with the greatest divergence. Built around agency realities, not corporate ones. Not a seminar. A structured conversation that surfaces what is already true.

Output

Belief Map delivered within 48 hours. Where the team agrees. Where it does not. Which beliefs are driving the agency’s current decisions and which are quietly undermining them.

Who it is for

Agency leaders at an inflection point.

MD or founding partner leading a team of 10 to 80
Agency going through a positioning review, leadership transition, or capability shift
Holding company planning an offsite for a network of studios
In-house creative team that has grown large enough to need a shared operating framework

Pricing

Same price. Higher value.

The agency version costs the same as the standard Belief Audit because the time is the same. The value is higher because the prompts are closer.

From £1,500

Includes pre-session belief survey, 90-minute facilitated session, and Belief Map delivered within 48 hours.

The conversations that slow agencies down are never about the work.

They’re about what the leadership team believes. Book the Agency Belief Audit.
