The agency newsletter that
doesn't suck

2 emails/week about the things an agency owner needs in order to construct, grow and maybe even exit their agency. Written by Tim Kilroy, a 30 year agency veteran with 2 exits and over 300 agency growth clients.

Read by industry leaders from great companies like Tinuiti, WPromote, Google and likely the agency that landed the last deal you didn't win.

Who is writing this

Tim Kilroy

Tim Kilroy

I started 3 agencies. I sold two. I crashed one really hard. I've made more mistakes than you can possibly imagine. I've also had real success and been lucky enough to meet and work with amazing people.

Since 2018, I've consulted with over 300 agencies. While each agency is different, their problems are really similar. I will NEVER give you a prescriptive fix, because that's total BS. Inside The Agency Inner Circle, you are going to learn how to identify, troubleshoot and solve the troubles that are holding back your growth.

But I probably have a 2 decade head start on you in that regard, so think of AIC as a map that's only going to show you the very best places on this journey and give you some clever ways around the traps that jump in front of all agency entrepreneurs.

Reasonable questions

Before you hand over your email

How often do you send it?

2x a week, Tuesdays and Fridays.

Is this actually free?

Yes. Every issue is free and the full archive is public. I sell coaching and consulting to a small number of agencies, and this newsletter is how most of them find me.

Are you going to sell my email address?

No. I do not sell or rent the list. There is an occasional sponsor inside an issue, clearly marked, and that is the extent of it.

What if I hate it?

Unsubscribe. The link is at the bottom of every email and it takes one click. I would rather have a small list of people who read every word than a big list of people who ignore me.

I'm just starting out. Should I still subscribe?

Hell, yeah. There's no revenue limit on learning. Jump on in, you are gonna love it.
