What agency founders say
Thank you, that was probably the best Non-exec call I’ve had. You assumed significant knowledge and didn’t bother with the egg-sucking instructions. You made a practical introduction. You solutionised the next hire.
My NXD has given practical advice that has helped me make consistent and measured improvements to how I operate my agency at a much faster pace than if I wasn’t working with AgencyNXD. I highly recommend their services to any ambitious agency owner.
AgencyNXD is a UK marketplace where marketing agency founders book an agency Non-Executive Director who has built, scaled and sold agencies. You book a paid one-hour video consultation in the advisor's own calendar, with no retainer and no minimum term.
What does NXD mean here?
NXD is our shorthand for Non-Executive Director, also commonly abbreviated to NED. An agency NXD offers independent perspective on growth, leadership and exit decisions without being part of your day-to-day management team. On AgencyNXD, you can book that experience by the hour; a consultation is not a formal board appointment.

- A UK marketplace where owners of marketing agencies book paid, one-off consultations with Non-Executive Directors who have grown, run and sold agencies themselves.
- Who are the advisors?
- Experienced agency operators and Non-Executive Directors. Each profile sets out their background, specialisms — growth, exit, strategy, leadership, finance or operations — and hourly rate.
- How does booking work?
- Choose an advisor, pick a 60, 90 or 120-minute slot from their connected Google or Microsoft calendar, pay by card, and get a video-call invite. There is no retainer or minimum term.
- What does it cost?
- Advisors set their own rate; the typical rate is £300 per hour. You pay the advisor's rate plus VAT — no extra platform fee is added at checkout. AgencyNXD takes a flat £25 management fee from the advisor's payout rather than a share of their fee.
