Many agencies focus heavily on new business, chasing logos and cold leads—while the biggest growth opportunity is already in front of them. In this episode of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast, Dan Englander is joined by Matt Pensinger, founder of Accelerate Advisors and former EVP at Jack Morton, to talk about how agencies can stop leaving money on the table and start expanding inside existing accounts.

Watch our latest video training, How to Take Charge of Your Agency’s Future Revenue. During this training, you’ll learn how we get qualified appointments every week using tasteful and highly targeted email outreach.

Drawing from over a decade of experience working with major brands like McDonald’s, P&G, and Diageo, Matt shares how agency leaders can build deeper relationships, navigate client-side politics, and turn trust into long-term revenue. You’ll also learn why in-housing doesn't have to mean losing the account, how to build a win-back campaign, and what separates the agencies that stay top-of-mind from the ones that don’t.

This week’s episode is all about building client trust, navigating internal change, and unlocking untapped growth within your current book of business.

In this episode, Dan and Matt discuss the following:

Why agencies over-prioritize new business and overlook their biggest asset
The importance of relationship mapping inside complex client organizations
What to do when your point of contact leaves the company
When churn is actually a good thing
How to re-engage lapsed clients with a win-back strategy
Why origin stories and strategic perspective matter in pitches
How to have better conversations around in-housing and agency value
