About Dear Agency Founder

Dear Agency Founder is a weekly newsletter for people building small to medium-sized design, UX, product, marketing and development agencies. I write practical advice about how to navigate the rocky path of growing a profitable business. No nonsense, no fluff, just real-world experiences and actionable insights.

Who am I?

I'm Dan, and I've been where you are. I built and ran a successful agency for over a decade. I've learned as much from my mistakes as my successes, and I'm sharing both with you.

What you'll get

Every Saturday, I deliver grounded advice on topics that actually matter:

• How to win bigger clients (and keep them happy)
• Pricing strategies that protect your profits
• Building systems that scale without sacrificing creativity
• Managing client relationships that don't drain your soul

Here's a couple of examples:

• Steal from the agency that you don’t want to be
• How to stop getting ghosted after sending proposals

Why subscribe?

Running an agency can feel isolating. The challenges you face are unique, and most business advice doesn't address the specific struggles of creative service businesses.

This newsletter is your weekly reminder that you're not alone, that your problems have solutions, and that with the right approach, you can build an agency that makes you proud (and profitable).

Sign up here and see you on Saturday!
