Setup Agency Mastermind


 

This is a two-minute video explaining the Setup Agency Mastermind program

 

The Setup Agency Mastermind groups are curated, peer-to-peer mentoring groups of marketing agency (10-50 FTEs) owners who meet monthly to discuss, brainstorm, support, and advise each other to solve problems and develop personally or professionally. At its core, the Setup Agency Mastermind groups are designed to help agency owners find camaraderie and guidance from a group of like-minded peers, steadily led by Joe Koufman, an expert in marketing agency growth.

Core tenets:

  • Growth - members share a joint commitment to grow their agencies and themselves

  • Experience sharing - rather than sharing advice, each member shares direct experiences

  • Peer support - each member works to help the other members achieve success

  • Confidentiality - each member must keep conversations within the group

What is included:

Three monthly calls:

  • Forum Experience - a group of 6-8 peers with (mostly) non-competitive agency disciplines will meet monthly (moderated by Joe Koufman) to exchange ideas and experiences. On each call, one agency leader will do a “deep dive” to get feedback on a challenge one of the agency faces.

  • Coaching Calls - a call with each individual agency (and its senior leadership, if needed) conducted by Joe Koufman and his team - to address specific challenges the agency is trying to overcome.

  • Growth Workshops - a monthly workshop (also open to the larger agency team) will be held where Joe Koufman and his team will cover agency growth strategies.

Value add:

  • Exclusive Community - a (private) Setup Agency Mastermind Slack group will provide like-minded agency leaders a forum to support one another with dilemmas and share ideas, tools, and resources.

  • Leads and Needs - forum members and Setup will be encouraged to share leads since they are largely non-competitive.

  • In-Person Event - annually, Setup will bring together the Mastermind Group peers to meet in Atlanta.
