ABOUT GARRETT MEHRGUTH

Learn from someone still in the game

Most agency coaches built something once, exited, and now teach from memory. The frameworks are five years old. The market has moved. The advice sounds right but doesn’t account for what’s actually happening right now.

 

Garrett runs Directive every day. $29M+ in revenue. 125+ employees. Six service lines. Global operations. He’s making the same decisions you’re making: hiring, firing, pricing, positioning, restructuring. Just at a larger scale.

 

That’s the difference. When you bring a challenge to a coaching session, the response isn’t theoretical. It’s informed by what’s working inside a real agency, this quarter, with real clients and real margin pressure.

The process

How to apply

01

Apply

Fill out a short application so we understand your agency, your revenue, and what you’re working through right now.

02

Intro call

A quick call to make sure coaching is the right fit. Not a sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about where you are and whether this is the right move.

03

Meet Garrett

After your intro call, you’ll be invited to meet with Garrett 1:1 to assess whether working together is the right fit.

About the coaching

Everything you get

1:1 coaching
with Garrett

Bi-weekly calls with Garrett focused on the highest-leverage problem in your business right now. Not a check-in. A working session where you leave with decisions made and next steps clear.

Private Slack
community

A vetted community of agency owners averaging $6M in ARR. This is an active community where you can get peer support on your most important questions and feedback.

Direct access to
Garrett on slack

In the Slack group, you’ll be able to ask questions and get feedback directly from Garrett. No chatbots or team members.

P&L Financial
Review

Garrett reviews your financials and identifies the levers that actually move margin. Most agency owners have never had someone look at their books and tell them the truth.

AGENCY
COURSE

Every SOP and system that I use to run a $29M agency. Inside you’ll get the exact SOP’s and training from Directive’s department heads and leadership team.

MONTHLY MASTERCLASSES

Live sessions with Garrett Mehrguth on the topics that matter most: pricing, hiring, positioning, ops, M&A, and more.

“It’s incredibly rare to most people who are running $27 million agencies do not take the time to actually pass the ladder down to the people behind them and share their learnings. And this is why this course is so invaluable.”

Sam Shepler

CEO, Testimonial Hero

“I would say this is the longest, most sustained, most valuable coaching relationship I’ve had in my 10 years in business.”

Brennan Bliss

CEO, Propellic

“Garrett actually opened up the course and had other department heads from his team come in and co-teach with him, and really open up their secret sauce in a lot of ways. I found that to be absolutely invaluable.”

Erik Jacobson

CEO, Hatch
