Our Mission

TPC Growth exists to be the go-to resource for agencies of all sizes and disciplines to discover and reveal pathways to organic growth while changing the mindset of an industry from being RFP-obsessed, to being proactive, opportunistic and in-tune with existing client partners that view an agency as an investment in their own growth strategy. 

Our Why

In the agency world, we are a society of liberal arts majors and unable to rub two nickels together. Typically, we are trained to run business, not grow business. As account management we are taught to bend over backward for our clients, keep the business at all costs, and do what you must to maintain some semblance of client satisfaction. 


Meanwhile, if employees are good at churning butter, they advance, and we put them in charge of all the butter-churners. 


Now, when they reach the AD/VP level they are asked to run business, grow business, win business, manage for profit, grow people, etc. But we are not teaching them to do this. 


We win an RFP after investing time and resource, we turn it over to more cost-efficient staff, we do good work (not great), it gets stale, we lose the business … and then we are pitching again, if you are not already in “RFP Mode” all the time.


You’ve done the hard part; you’ve won the account. The client has invested in your agency. Now let’s exude partnership and grow the business. 


Let’s shift the paradigm. 

The Facts About Organic Growth

image50

Organic growth is less expensive

There is less revenue volatility

It leads to less turnover of your clients and your people

It’s more profitable

There are now 120,000 marketing agencies in the US alone … they want the business you have

We Get It

The Difference

TPC does not do “train-the-trainer” programs, alone. We conduct 3-6 month engagements in order to get immersed in the accounts we assist. 


We sign 3-year non-competes to give every agency partner peace-of-mind that the business we support will remain their business, and the pathways create will remain uniquely theirs.


We are willing to invest in our agency partners by adjusting fees for 3 percent of the organic growth accomplished
