Why us?

Ponder works with creative, marketing and digital agencies because we love running agencies and working with the people in them.

We have been creating, growing and leading agencies since 2005, scaling revenues into the tens of millions while improving profitability and building high-performing teams.

We work alongside founders and leadership teams to unlock growth, sharpen strategy and strengthen leadership.

We only work with a select number of agencies, focusing on those where we know our experience and insight can deliver measurable impact and lasting value.

Our principle

Agencies are powered by people. When those people are clear on their direction, confident in their decisions and supported by the right structure, the business thrives.

We believe in working closely with a small number of agencies so we can give each one the attention, challenge and encouragement it needs.

This means listening more than talking, asking better questions, and focusing on the few changes that will have the biggest impact.

It’s not about chasing every opportunity or doing everything at once. It’s about choosing the right moves, at the right time, with the right people; and making them count.
