Who We Are
At Take On Lions, we embody the fearless spirit of the African Honey Badger — relentless, adaptable, and unafraid to take on any challenge. Like the Honey Badger, we thrive in tough situations, turning operational obstacles into opportunities for growth and success.
With over 18 years of experience in the digital agency landscape, we tackle your business "lions" head-on—whether they're operational inefficiencies, team skill gaps, or scaling challenges.
We understand that growing agencies face unique challenges. As you scale, the operational foundations that worked when you were smaller often begin to crack under increased pressure. Team members who excelled in a start-up environment may need new skills to thrive in a more structured organisation. Client relationships become more complex, and profit margins can suffer without the right systems in place.
Our approach blends strategic insight with practical implementation. We don't just identify problems—we solve them. Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment of your current operations, team capabilities, and growth bottlenecks. We then develop tailored solutions that address immediate pain points while building sustainable foundations for continued growth.
Ongoing strategic support and implementation guidance on a part-time basis, providing expert leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
