Authority Agency

Website: https://www.authorityagency.co.uk

Welcome to the age of Thought Leadership.

Most B2B brands are drowning in a Sea of Sameness, unable to differentiate themselves from their competition.

And so they spend their time:

- Scrapping for low quality opportunities
- Unable to build an audience
- Failing to fill their pipeline
- Struggling to sign new clients 
- Pricing their services too low
- Stagnating and not growing
- Struggling to make pay day

The problem isn’t caused by lead generation, marketing or sales…

It’s a positioning problem.

Strong positioning will:

✅ Differentiate the business
✅ Attract high quality leads
✅ Convert them into high paying clients
✅ Grow the business month on month

And the strongest way to position in 2024?

Build Authority.

I work with clients to create messages that engage their audience. The challenge for our clients isn't deciding how to reach their audience, it's knowing how to touch and move them. This is, and has always been, achieved with creative, simple and impactful messaging

Account Manager & Show Producer

Founder of Authority Agency & Komms | 800+ Agencies Mentored | Previous clients include Volvo, Porsche and Unilever

We turn Agency Owners and their Agencies into Go-To Leaders in their space.

Hey, I'm Olie, and over the last 10 years I've built 2 agencies of my own, worked as CMO in 2, helped 800 more and sold to global clients like Volvo, Porsche and Unilever. 

I've now developed the Authority Agency system to help agency owners like you scale to 7+ figures.

If you’ve been growing your agency for some time, but feel like you’ve hit a brick wall, it's because: 

1. You can't generate high quality leads consistently
2. You're working in your agency, not on it
3. Low-paying legacy clients are tying you down
4. Your agency is not positioned authoritatively 

We remove these barriers to growth by: 

1. Attracting high quality leads with our proven plug & play system. 
2. Freeing up your time to work on the business. 
3. Implementing our industry authority blueprint
4. Giving you complete clarity on your positioning

The result? 

You can finally live the agency life you dreamed of...

High value clients see you as an authority and are willing to pay premium prices for your work. You never struggle to generate leads again. You convert, service and grow those clients with ease - without the 80 hour week sacrifice. 

You become an operator, not a slave to your agency.

And after helping 800 agencies, we've nailed this system down to a tee. 

Check out some of these results:

🚀 Sam grew 300% two years running since joining the program
🚀 Phil converted £150,000+ of business in 2 weeks
🚀 Ozzi doubled his MRR in 3 months 
🚀 Elle grew her MRR by 3000%
🚀 Claudiu smashed through $10k/month and signed a bluechip client
🚀 Shruti tripled her prices without changing her offer or delivery
🚀 Niall & Morgan increased their MRR by 50% in 3 months
🚀 John signed a monster $19k/month retainer in his 4th month

Biggest factor that determines if an agency will get to £1m+ / year …



I’ve worked with over 100 agencies closely and seen some of them scale from £0 to £1m/year.

And all of those that managed it had one thing in common…

The Founder can consistently find and sell to clients.

They can generate new business out of thin air.

Doesn’t mean is the Founder a relentlessly pushy, closer sales person…

It means the Founder is smart enough to spot and convert opportunities regularly.

Once you get past £1m AR there’s a whole new skillset required.

But getting to that stage is about the Founder.

What’s your take?

P.s. If you’re a founder and don’t have that skillset, it’s OK. But you need to find someone that does - that’s the only problem to solve pre £1m/year.

CEO at 21six | The Agency for Brands That Care

You are an owner, not a hostage to the business. 
You want cash flow up, hours down, and a clean exit when you are ready.

I advise owners & CEOs of $1M–$25M service, manufacturing, logistics and home services companies get sale-ready in months, not years.

What you get
• Cash flow clarity, the 15 business drivers & value levers and a monthly score of what is and isn’t working. 
• Owner dependence reduced, SOPs, KPIs, and a real second-in-command
• Margin lift, quick wins in pricing, mix, scheduling, and collections
• Cleaner diligence, contracts tight, financials tied out, risks addressed
• Board-level guidance, 100 plus deals, portfolio company work, and exits

• Helped a precision fab shop lift margin 15 points in 90 days
• Cut an owner’s weekly hours from 65 to 20 with standard work and KPIs
• Turned a stalled deal into a signed LOIs in 45 days by fixing two red flags

For 25 years, I ran a single family office. I completed 100+ M&A transactions and raised over $1 billion in capital.

Want the Exit-Ready Checklist and a 15-minute readout… send a DM ‘Legacy’ or grab time on my calendar.

I've walked away from 1000s of businesses as a buyer…and as a seller. 

Here's what I learned: Most business owners build something valuable to them—but not to a buyer.

The hard truth? “The more valuable you are to the business, the less valuable the business is.”

Profitable companies with healthy margins that can't find a buyer

The difference between a sellable business and an unsellable one isn't revenue. It's not even profit.
It's whether the business operations and institutional knowledge can be transferred. 

This isn't theory. It's 25 years running a single family office:

   • 100+ M&A transactions completed
   • $1B+ in capital raised
   • Former CEO, CFO, Board Chairman & Director
   • Turned underperforming businesses into valuable assets

I grew up in family businesses. I know the pressure when everything depends on you.

Greg Head

The conversation every business owner dreads:

“Thanks, but we’re going to pass.”

You spent 6 months in due diligence.

You shared everything.

You answered every question.

You believed they finally saw what you built.

And then… the email arrives:

“After careful review, we’ve decided not to move forward.”

“It’s not the right fit for our portfolio.”

Translation?

You just lost 6 months of time, energy, and momentum.

And they’re not going to tell you the real reason why.

But I will:
❌ The business is too dependent on you
 ❌ Customer concentration is too risky
 ❌ There are no documented systems
 ❌ The team can’t operate without you

Buyers don’t like uncertainty.

And when they sense risk, they walk.

The worst part?

Every failed deal makes the next one harder.

👀 Buyers talk
 📉 Word spreads
 ⏳ And your window? It’s closing

So what happens next?

You go back to work.

More exhausted.

More desperate.

And now, your valuation is even lower.

The fix?

Redesign your business so buyers can’t say no.

📣 That’s exactly why I created the Exit Accelerator…details in the first comment below or DM me if you want the details. 👇

✅ Audit your hidden deal-breakers
 ✅ De-risk your business model
 ✅ Build a sellable company—on your timeline, not theirs

This is what real exit planning looks like.

Because the next buyer doesn’t owe you a second chance.

Owner-to-Owner Advisor for $1M-$25M service and manufacturing companies, fix cash flow, grow profit, prepare clean exits, 100+ deals | Owner & CEO who actually ran his own Businesses | Legacy Exit Intensive ~ DM “Legacy”

Exit planning isn’t a strategy problem.

 It’s an execution problem.

After supporting 100+ M&A transactions, one pattern is crystal clear:

❌ Business owners who start exit prep when they’re ready to sell…
 → get tactical valuations

✅ Business owners who build for transferability from day one…
 → get strategic premiums

The gap between these two approaches?
 
It’s expanding every single day.

Here’s what separates the winners from the wishful thinkers:
✅ Predictable revenue that doesn’t depend on them
 ✅ Systems that run without constant input
 ✅ Financials that tell a clear growth story
 ✅ Management teams that execute independently

Hot take:
 
The companies commanding the highest multiples?
 
They’re not always growing the fastest.

They’re simply the most ready to transfer.

While you’re planning to get ready,
strategic owners are already building.

Enterprise value is created in the decisions you make today,
not in the prep you scramble to do tomorrow.

What’s one area of your business that wouldn’t stand up to a buyer’s scrutiny today?
