The Barking Mad Blueprint
Our 5-step process to build your Agency Profit Clarity Dashboard
1. Model Map
We start by learning about your agency and the data you have. Even with just payroll and client revenue, you'll gain value. We'll map out what’s possible in 30 days and beyond based on your current setup and what we recommend adding for full clarity.
2. Clean Data
Revenue, overhead spending, payroll, project management, time tracking, etc... We pull it all together, keep it refreshed and clean the mess so you’ve got one reliable source of truth. (Real-time dashboards can’t fix bad data. We do.)
3. Visibility
Charts and graphs show how key agency profitability drivers are doing today compared to the past. Gross Margin, Average Billable Rate, Average Cost Per Hour, Utilization and more.
4. Forecasting
Look 3-6 months ahead at how profitability and the key profitability KPIs are pacing instead of 1 month too late. Take action today to ensure profitability targets are met tomorrow.
5. Improve Profitability
Red, yellow, and green performance provide fast, easy answers about what's working, not working, and where to focus first. We'll also share recommendations for what to do and the expected outcomes.

How do your business model and core KPIs compare to key benchmarks?2. Is your agency capable of hitting the growth and profitability targets you’ve set based on current capacity?3. How does current performance compare to past results and key benchmarks?4. What specific problems need fixing and what wins can you double down on?5.

No drama. No awkward calls. No hard feelings.Best Case: You get the clarity you’ve been craving, margins improve, and your team breathes easier.Worst Case: We botch it, you get a full refund, and we part ways. But unless I’m abducted by aliens, that’s not happening.We strive to create customers for life by treating people the way we’d want to be treated. And having felt the same pains you’re facing, I care deeply about helping you eliminate the stress of unclear data and the gut-punch of ending the month with less cash than expected — despite everybody's hard, amazing work.(Way simpler than sticking your head up a... you get it.)
Sorry, you’re probably here to learn about Phil. But you’re stuck with my story.👋
Hey! I’m Josh, founder of Barking Mad.After years working in and around marketing agencies, I realized it’s not a lack of clients that breaks most agencies — it’s a lack of operational clarity.Unfortunately, gaining that clarity is easier said than done.After struggling to find an affordable, reliable way to consolidate and clean agency data — and then visualize it in a dependable, repeatable way that shows current performance, trends, and comparisons useful for agency owners and their teams — I went full Virgo Virgo, poured a barrel of butter coffee, and built it myself.That’s how the Barking Mad Blueprint was born: a system designed to give owners and their teams at $500KM–$3M agencies (like the ones I’ve worked with throughout my career in new business, marketing, and operations) the visibility they need to stop guessing, protect margins, enjoy their business, and live happier with work not always top-of-mind.Everyone deserves to spend more time doing what lights them up, whether that’s the work you started your agency to do, finding joy in your passions outside of work, or just being fully present with friends and family — not being constantly dragged back into worry by stress and overwhelm.Barking Mad lets me combine two of my passions:1. Digging into data to uncover meaningful patterns that help agencies organize and prioritize their time and resources more effectively.2. Helping amazing people fight back against the dastardly duo of stress and overwhelm that have hijacked far too many great moments, despite our best efforts to stay present and in control.When I’m not standing in line for fried dough at Excel Land, I’m usually sipping butter coffee, watching Red Sox baseball, or playing outside with Phil (the inspiration for our mascot and Chief Enforcer — "If you have time to lean you have time to clean!") and his border collie brother Buzz, our Chief Taste Tester, who makes sure all food is safe for everyone to eat.
