Christian Banach

I launched my first business — a concert promotion and experiential marketing agency — while still in high school. What started as small local shows grew into a $10M company producing 300+ events a year, working with artists like Lady Gaga and Pitbull, and activating brand experiences for Disney and Toyota.

Then the 2008 recession hit. Like many agencies, I realized our growth had relied too heavily on word-of-mouth. I hired a consultant, learned the fundamentals of business development, and it changed everything. That experience inspired my next chapter: helping agencies grow with intention instead of hope.

Today, as founder of Christian Banach Growth Consulting, I help marketing agencies predictably land 6- and 7-figure opportunities through three core pillars:

• Market Intelligence: Our Next Big Win and Next Big Win Pro platforms surface new-business signals, leads, and competitive insights.
• Coaching & Leadership: Through the Relationship-Making Blueprint program and fractional CGO support, we help leaders build scalable new-business systems.
• Outsourced Growth Services: Acting as an extension of your team, we execute campaigns and book qualified meetings.

I’ve supported agencies from boutiques to global networks like BBDO and DDB, contributing over $10 million in new-business wins with brands such as Netflix, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Kohl’s, Select Medical, and White Castle.
