If you want to grow an agency to seven figures and beyond without working more hours in your business, tune in.
I know your time is valuable, so I keep it practical and help you work smarter, not harder, in every episode.
I'm your host, Audrey Joy Kwan. I know what it takes to build an agency—including supporting an agency owner in selling and exiting, and consulting for 200-person agencies—because I've done it.
My team and I have coached and consulted with over 150 agency owners and have been behind the scenes of multiple seven-figure agencies.
All this to say, join us on the Small But Mighty Agency podcast to grow an agency with real-world experience and practical tips that help you to work less and earn more while leading with integrity.

Small But Mighty Agency: Win clients and build better networks for marketing and consulting agencies
What Makes Small Agencies Easy to Refer (and Hard to Forget)
Let’s talk about referrals—not as a bonus, but as a strategy.
If you’ve been growing your agency through great work and word of mouth, but you’re starting to realize that waiting for referrals isn’t the same as designing for them… this episode is for you.
Because the most successful Small But Mighty agencies don’t leave referrals to chance. They build referral-ready relationships and strategic partnerships—on purpose.
Today, I’m breaking down what trust really looks like in action—and how certain behaviors, often overlooked, are what turn casual connections into consistent opportunities.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why referrals are a strategy—not something to leave to luck
- The 8 real-world habits of referral-ready agency owners
- How clarity in your niche makes you more referable
- What real trust looks like in referral-ready relationships
- How strategic partnerships can grow your agency without cold outreach
It’s not just a mindset—it’s a method. These habits make you easy to refer, easy to collaborate with, and easy to trust.
And I’ll share real examples from inside Agency Together where agency owners are doing exactly this—building a system for generosity, connection, and strategic growth.
