Agency leaders are being invited to Manchester next month for the return of the Bulletproof Agency Network Conference, as Glaisyers looks to build on momentum from its partnership with Prolific North and our recent From Growth to Gold event.
Steve Kuncewicz, Partner and Head of Creative, Digital & Marketing at Glaisyers, said the conference forms part of a wider push to support agencies across the North, following a two-year partnership with Prolific North.
“It’s 2 weeks since Prolific North’s From Growth To Gold Manchester Event, and although we’ve already shared some thoughts on the conversations in the room and the theme of our Roundtable, namely creating and maintaining value in agencies looking to thrive, scale and sell, that event is only one element of our now 2-year partnership with Prolific North and sponsorship of the Northern Agency Guide and wider commitment to support the Agency across the North and further afield,” he said.
“There’s much more to come, including the wider rollout of our OneETL Subscription Legal Support Service to the community it’s been built for.”

The Bulletproof Agency Network Conference will take place in Manchester on 7 May, bringing together legal, financial, insurance and commercial expertise aimed at agency owners.
“The Bulletproof Agency Network Conference, which is part of a joint initiative between Glaisyers, MAP and RiskBox, is built around a single idea: giving agency owners honest, practical support to grow stronger businesses,” Steve said. “Since 2017 we’ve brought together legal, financial, insurance and commercial expertise under one roof – no fluff, just real insight for people running real agencies.”
The event will focus on four core pillars – growth, operations, people and finance – with this year’s theme centred on turning pitches into long-term client relationships.
This year’s theme is ‘Pitch to Partnership’. “Winning a pitch is one thing,” Steve says. “Turning it into a long-term, profitable relationship is another.”
Speakers include Trenton Moss of Team Sterka, Katie Bolas, Claire Richardson-Critcher and Steve Byrne of As The Crow Flies, with Dan Archer of Suprpwr Consulting hosting the day.
The conference will be held at VOCO Manchester, running from 9:30am to 7:00pm, with all ticket proceeds going to Forever Manchester and Barnabus.
Steve said: “We work with agencies on legal and commercial challenges every day. Bulletproof is the space where they’re addressed honestly and constructively, by people who have lived them.”
“It’s a community that we’re hugely privileged to be able to help build, and it’d be even more awesome to see you in the room.”
