Building an agency is hard.
Clients get pitched nonstop. Hiring's brutal. Keeping a strong team? Even harder.
You can only win this game if you have:
- Real investment in yourself
- A crystal clear what, why, and how
- Top-class work and service
- Workflows built to scale
Guram is here to guide you along the way as you build the best possible agency.
Oh, follow me on Substack where I write about lessons I learned from building and selling my agency. Stuff I wish I knew starting out.
Meet your guide..
I've been in the agency world for over 17 years. Walking the path from starting an agency, to building a team, hitting seven-figure revenue, all the way to a successful exit.
I'm Ralph, and I'm now on a mission to help founders who really want to make a positive difference with their agency. A fight against the cowboys out there, ruining the great work from the good guys.
What others say about working with me..
"Ralph has taught me so much, not just professionally but personally as well.
The values and principles he used to build an organization have had a lasting impact. They are not only strong foundations for any business, but also a powerful example for others to follow.
What stood out most to me was his passion, curiosity, and constant drive to grow. Ralph truly lives those qualities, and during the time I worked with him, he was a major source of inspiration."
- Fabian Hoogland
"The way Ralph led the agency has always been an example to me. He always offered a listening ear, never judgmental, supportive, and focused on solutions.
With his calm presence and clear perspective, he played a big role in my growth. Not just as a professional, but as a person too."
- Rien van Wolfswinkel
"The great thing about working with Ralph is that he gives you that gentle push in the right direction.
He listens closely, asks the right questions, challenges you at just the right moments, and draws on years of experience. You walk away from every conversation with clarity about your next steps.
That kind of support has helped me a lot, both professionally and personally, and made the collaboration feel easy and natural."
- Thijs van Hal
"I had the pleasure of working with Ralph for over five years.
With his calm presence and genuine attentiveness, Ralph has a rare ability to get straight to the heart of a question or concern. His feedback is thoughtful, clear, and always something you can build on.
He has absolutely played a key role in my growth, both professionally and personally."

Build the best possible agency.
You didn’t start just to make money or deliver average work. You started because you believed there had to be a better kind of agency. You and I both know things can be different. Better for your clients, better for your team, and better for you.
Let’s make that happen.
Here are four simple steps to get started:
- Schedule a discovery call
- Join my 12-week program
- Get crystal clear on your what, why, and how
- Grow the agency you’ve always envisioned
Talk less. Think more.
There was a time in my founder journey when I felt lost. Things were moving fast, and it all started to feel a bit overwhelming.
That’s when someone suggested journaling. I was skeptical, but I gave it a shot. And honestly, the shift in my mindset was huge.
I went from chaos and uneasy feelings to clarity and calm. For the first time in a while, I could see the bigger picture again. It was a game changer.
The thing is, most journals aren’t made for entrepreneurs. So I decided to create one for myself. And now, I can share it with you.
If you’re serious about becoming a better founder, give it a try. Let this journal guide you through the noise and back to focus.
