Trenton Moss built one of the UK’s first UX agencies from scratch, scaled it to £3m, sold it and lived to tell the tale. Then he wrote a bestselling book and started helping agency teams be brilliant with clients.
He puts his agency’s success down to one thing – making everyone a leader. As CEO, he built a culture of trust, empowerment and high performance. And it worked.
Now at Team Sterka, he helps agency teams lead with more impact – strengthening client relationships, handling tough conversations and growing revenue by up to 35%.
In 2023, he took his kids backpacking across Asia and Africa for six months. He survived hunting in Tanzania, paint fights in India and leech attacks in Borneo.
Neely Khan is the founder of kahani and leads AWC, a Midlands-based creative agency. Originally a copywriter with 11 years of hands-on experience, Neely has scaled positioning and content strategies for major global names like Dishoom, YO!, Cheval Collection, Abode Luxury Rentals, and Turtle Bay. Today, she works closely with agency owners and hospitality brands to navigate how they’re discovered and chosen in an AI-driven world. She developed kahani as the world’s first framework combining deep storytelling with generative engine optimisation (GEO) to ensure brands get found by AI and chosen by humans.
Debbie is the founder of MSQ, a platform and framework that helps agencies and brands reframe the power in their relationship and put it back in balance. This isn’t theory; Debbie built her own agency on this exact IP and methodology before turning it into MSQ, so she’s lived the model – 5000 benchmarks and 300+ programmes built.
Her argument: agencies need to own their power, their talent and be brave enough to use it. Brands need to take responsibility for the relationship too; crap in, crap out. Expect a direct case for why the transactional, day-to-day dynamic has to end, and what it actually takes to get agencies and clients out of it and into an equitable relationship.
Debbie has worked both client-side and agency-side, across multiple markets, and has seen first-hand how the same power imbalance shows up everywhere, whatever the sector or the size of the agency. This isn’t a talk about better client service; it’s about agencies owning the strategic table where they’ve been MIA and brands holding up their end of the relationship.
