Your clients are experimenting. Your competitors are adapting.
The window for advantage is open – but not for long.
The Spark AI Accelerator helps small agencies stop dabbling and start leading – with strategic, real-world training designed for the pace and pressures of agency life.
Smaller agencies face a unique challenge: how do you build the AI capabilities you need to stay competitive – while still delivering great work, managing your team, and keeping the business moving?
But you also have a unique advantage: agility. You can move faster than the bigger players. You can experiment, adapt and innovate fast. This is your opportunity to build capability, reposition your offer and lead your agency confidently into the future.
Join a cohort of ambitious founders and senior leaders ready to embed AI where it matters most – across strategy, design, client service, and leadership – and turn pressure into performance.
Built for creatives, by creatives.
Our leadership team brings together decades of creative agency experience with cutting-edge AI expertise. We understand your challenges because we've lived them – from managing client expectations with limited resources to wearing multiple hats while keeping creativity flowing.
This isn't generic AI training. It's a programme tailored to small agency realities, taught by people who understand your business model, your client relationships, and the unique pressures of agency life.

Why small agencies choose cohort training
Learn alongside peer agencies
Learn alongside founders and senior team members from agencies your size. Share challenges, swap solutions, and build relationships with people who truly understand the realities of running a small creative business.
Accessible pricing for growing teams
Choose the training streams your team needs most, with pricing for the individual streams to flexibly meet the different needs of small agencies.
Flexible participation
Whether you're a team of 3 or 9, whether you need all four training streams or want to start with one – we've designed this programme to work for the way small agencies actually operate.
Agency-specific expertise
Taught by people who've worked in agencies like yours. We understand the client pressures, the resource constraints, and the creative challenges because we've lived them.
What makes this different
Cohort learning
Maximum 12 people per session means real discussion, genuine peer exchange, and the kind of collaborative learning that only happens with people facing similar challenges.
In-person intensity
No Zoom fatigue. No distractions. Just focused, hands-on training where you'll build real skills and real relationships with other agency leaders.
Immediate application
Every session includes practical exercises using your actual briefs, your real clients, and your existing workflows. You'll leave with tools you can use the next day.
Ongoing support
Three months of coaching, custom GPTs, email sequences, and progress tracking. This isn't just training – it's transformation with ongoing support to make sure it sticks.

Programme FAQs
Q: Can we just send one person from our team?
Absolutely, though we find the biggest impact comes when leadership and key team members train together. You can start with one stream and add others later.
Q: What if we can't make all four days?
Each stream is standalone, so you can choose which ones work for your team and schedule. However, the full programme creates the most comprehensive transformation.
Q: How do you decide between London and Bristol?
We'll survey confirmed participants and choose the location that works best for the majority. Both venues are easily accessible by train.
Q: What's included in the ongoing support?
Three months of bi-weekly coaching sessions, templates and prompt libraries, structured exercises, assignments and progress tracking.
Q: Is this suitable for agencies outside London/Bristol?
Yes – we've designed the dates to make it feasible for agencies to travel in for intensive training days. Many participants find the focused, in-person format more effective than distributed online sessions.
