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.

Advisor

CWA Creative Agency

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 Director

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.

If you want to see how we could help you build your personal brand, shoot me a dm saying ‘Personal Brand’

If you're not quite ready yet, I post daily content on here showing you how to do it yoursel

On paper, I look self made: 

- Started Kurogo at 20
- Entirely bootstrapped 
- No loan from mum and dad

 But in reality: 

- Parents never questioned me
- Mentors helped when they didn’t have to
- Friends liked my posts before anyone cared
- My first clients took a chance on a kid with no portfolio
- Teammates believed in the vision when it was just an idea

Every “self-made” story has invisible scaffolding: support, belief, opportunity.

Ps. Who's supported you recently?

Career advice to 18 year olds:

- Work for free to build your network
- Work for someone you admire
- Upskill in your spare time
- Do the apprenticeship
- Learn on the job

Just don’t think you need more knowledge to get started.

Ps. I speak to a lot of very rich people and they admire initiative. Show some.

7 ‘unscalable’ things I did to get from 0 → 1M revenue:

(I still do some of these today)

1. Took proposals at 3am 
2. Worked for free for my first clients
3. Wrote for and managed 20+ clients alone
4. Tailored every project to overdeliver for clients
5. Sent 100s of personalised looms to connections 
6. Shadowed an entrepreneur around London for free
7. Travelled to clients offices to deliver free in person trainings

If you’re just getting started:

Don’t worry about ‘systems’, ‘efficiency’ or ‘balance’
Worry about signing clients, delighting them and gathering xp. 

You can do the fancy stuff later. 

My approach:

Do what no one else will until you have the ability to do what no one else can. 

-- 

With me? Hit repost. You might just help a first-time entrepreneur.

PS. You ever done any of these?

2015: you won by being the best.
Today: you win by being the authority

You can have a great product…

But if no one knows you
If no one sees you as an expert
If no one trusts you

You’ll never get the credit you deserve.

(And there’s no nobility in being your industry’s ‘best kept secret’ btw)

So of course, ensure your product is good.
But please, ensure your presence is too.

How?

Leverage your senior team.

1. Pick your key profiles
2. Position them as industry experts
3. Optimise their profiles
4. Publish consistent thought leadership
5. Align content with wider marketing pushes

Within 1 month: momentum

After 3 months: recognition

Get to 6 months: authority, pipeline, leverage

Your senior team are your no. 1 marketing channel.

Ps. Prediction: SLT will become the most effective marketing channel in 2026

2015: Few channels, trusting consumers, little competition

2025: Many channels, sceptical consumers, lots of competition

The same tired company campaigns that worked in 2015 don’t cut it now.

Consumers see through it.

Instead, they want to consume content from your people instead.

So turn your senior leaders into brand advocates:

1. Build personal positioning strategies that complement company messaging
2. Update their profiles (no more CV profiles!)
3. Publish content weekly (trends, opinions, predictions, stories)

3 steps and you’re ahead of 90% of your competitors.

Each one will reach, engage and build trust with 100,000s of people per month.

(Or you can stick to the 15 likes you’re getting on the company page)

Want to turn your senior team into brand advocates?

Here’s how: https://lnkd.in/e_uXTgUK

Ps. Hubspot nailing it. Anyone else you’ve seen doing this well?

I keep having to remind myself: 

- This is where I dreamt of being 5 years ago
- This is where I should enjoy the journey most 

But that’s tough to balance with ambition. 

So I’m reading this note daily.

(maybe) controversial advice to grads: 

Take the lower salary if the job will teach you more. 

A job that pays £2,000 less now but teaches you 10x more is worth an extra £200,000 over the next 10 years.
