Coaching specifically designed for digital and creative agency teams who deliver projects and support services.
Project failures are not compulsary
- Your clients lack alignment
- Estimations miss the mark
- Your project overrun or scope creeps
- You’re seeing endless cycles of rework
- Agile adoption feels uncomfortable
- Your teams lack accountability and autonomy
Your agency can deliver consistently great results without the drama.

I’ve been helping teams break the cycle of unpredictability and build cultures of consistent on-time project success for over two decades. Working with both project-led agencies and product-led teams.
I’m Harry Bailey, and I’ve run agencies, coached product and agency teams, and seen what works (and lots of what doesn’t) in the real world.
I now focus on helping teams implement practical actionable strategies, tailored to your agency’s context, to improve results quickly and sustainably across both your projects and support offering.
Whether the latest firefight was about scope, deadlines or budgets, you can put an end to the drama by implementing trusted, successful ways of working created specifically for agency land needs.
I’ve been there, and the chaos sucks.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Harry to agency teams looking to build team cohesion, improve productivity and develop a commercial mindset throughout a team.

What founders and leaders say about Harry’s work:
Really impressed with the work Harry did for our team this year. He is able to switch between the strategic and the tactical effortlessly, showing a willingness to tackle problems, craft solutions and reflect on the procedural, cultural and operational impact of decisions and activities.
– Hilary Stephenson, MD @ Nexer Digital
Harry’s approach allows agency owners and teams, deep in the trenches of day-to-day project work, to step out for a much-needed bird’s-eye view.
– Frank Staiger, Founder @ Via Studios
It felt like the team were drowning in their work. Support and project challenges mounting up, making prioritisation increadibly challenging. Harry’s approach was calm, swift and immediately impactful.

Other challenges you might be experiencing
- It feel like you’re reinventing the wheel on every project. There’s a lack of consistency.
- You’re delivering good work, but it feels harder than it should. You’re not sure where the friction is.
- You don’t need a CTO or an Agile coach, but delivery is creaking and you’d like an external opinion.
- Projects seem to run fine for a while, then the momentum is lost and the rework start.
- You’ve tried to be more ‘Agile’, but it feels forced or fizzles out after a few sprints.
- Project managers are stretched thin, and you don’t know if it’s the process or the people.
- You’re not sure your delivery approach scales. It works for two or three projects, then chaos sets in.
- Your budget feels right, but somehow the profit disappears in the delivery stage.
- Your clients love the creative side, but delivery always feels messy.
- You’ve got no shortage of smart people, but they’re not always pulling in the same direction.
- You’re tired of firefighting and want delivery to just work without the hovering.
- You’re unsure how to tackle technical debt without losing delivery momentum.
- Your short-term delivery pressures are limiting your long-term investment, capacity and availability.
