Chip Griffin helps PR and marketing agency owners get more from the businesses they’ve built. More profit. More time. More options for what comes next.
The fastest way to get an honest, outside view of where your agency stands — and what you should focus on first. Chip reviews your business with the AIM-GET framework and comes back with a clear picture: what’s working, what isn’t, and where to focus next.
Most owners leave with a sharper sense of their situation than they’ve had in years — and a concrete list of priorities to act on immediately.
- Intake questionnaire to drive the engagement
- In-depth review across all AIM-GET dimensions
- Written summary of findings and priorities
- Follow-up call to discuss results and next steps
- Credit toward a Planning Intensive or Accelerator
Each intensive is a contained engagement built around one area of your agency. You bring the challenge and Chip brings an outside perspective, frameworks, and a concrete output you can act on immediately.
Update your positioning, messaging, and business development approach to establish a clearer path to better clients and sustainable new revenue.
Review your pricing model, project budgets, and cost structure to close the gap between the revenue you generate and the profit you keep.
Review your options and build a roadmap for transitioning out of day-to-day leadership, including M&A readiness.
Review your current processes, tools, and talent to prepare your agency for an AI-forward future — without disrupting what’s working today.
Examine your team structure, recruitment approach, and retention practices to get more from your agency’s largest investment.
Start with a free conversation. In 30 minutes Chip can help you identify what your agency actually needs right now — no obligation, no pitch.
The Accelerator is the most comprehensive way to work with Chip in a single engagement. It combines a full top-to-bottom review of your agency with initial implementation support — so you don’t just leave with a plan, you leave with tangible progress.
It’s designed for owners who know something needs to change and want to move quickly rather than piece it together over time.
Everything in the Checkup, plus intensive planning work across all relevant AIM-GET dimensions, and hands-on support to start executing on the plan.
- Full AIM-GET diagnostic and written findings
- Deep-dive planning sessions across your priorities
- Clear recommendations and timelines
- Engagement with your team as needed
- Initial implementation support for 60 days
Some challenges aren’t solved in a single engagement. Ongoing advisory gives you continuous access to Chip’s perspective as your agency evolves — month after month.
Regular advisory calls plus access to Chip via email or messaging for questions, feedback, and ongoing decisions.
Mentorship and support to help key team members grow, take on more responsibility, and reduce pressure on the owner.
Support and guidance for owners and key employees, with a mix of individual and team sessions to align everyone on the same path.
Deeper involvement, including meetings and workflows — for owners who want more active support in the business.
All ongoing engagements start with a free introductory call. Month-to-month — no long-term commitment required.
Just need a quick bit of advice? Phone a Friend enables you to book a single session with Chip.
Whether you’re in a one-time Checkup or a long-term advisory relationship, the work always comes back to these eight dimensions of a well-run, owner-led agency.
Setting clear objectives for yourself, your agency, and your team members will help you achieve progress more quickly.
Profitability
Together we create project budgets, review expenses, and adjust pricing to get the profit margins you need.
Positioning
Most small agencies benefit from establishing a clear focus instead of trying to be all things to all people.
Sales & Marketing
By establishing consistent, repeatable processes, we can eliminate much of the fear and pain that inhibits growth.
Client Retention
Keeping clients happy is more than just getting good results, and we work to build systems to stack the odds in your favor.
Team Management
Agency success relies on talented individuals, but finding and retaining them is always a challenge.
Strategic Planning
Knowing where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow allows you to plot a path for the future.
Accountability
Agency owners often don't have anyone to turn to for second opinions or candid feedback, and that's where an outside advisor helps.
If you’re not certain which service fits your situation, or you just want to talk through what’s going on before committing to anything, start with a free 30-minute call.
No sales pitch. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about where your agency is and whether working together makes sense.
- Talk through what's working and what isn't in your agency right now
- Get an honest read on what you probably need to focus on first
- Find out if and how working together makes sense
- Walk away with something useful — regardless of what comes next
