Agency Roundtable- Saying No Strategically: How do You Push Back Without Losing the Client?

Let’s talk about the unspoken challenges behind the client-agency relationship.

This month’s Agency Grind Roundtable explores a topic every agency professional faces: managing expectations without sacrificing your team’s wellbeing. From scope creep and unrealistic turnaround times to blurred work-life boundaries, we’ll discuss how agencies are rethinking their client relationships to stay productive and sustainable.

This is not a webinar. It is a real, peer-led conversation created for marketers, communicators, strategists, and creatives working in agencies or consultancies. These sessions are not recorded to help keep the discussion authentic and confidential.

What We’ll Discuss:

• What does healthy client communication look like in 2025?
• How are agencies protecting team bandwidth while maintaining strong partnerships?
• What boundaries have made a positive difference for your team?
• How do you say “no” without hurting the relationship?

This roundtable is part of Meltwater’s Industry Circles program. These are client-only spaces inside mCommunity where professionals in similar sectors connect, collaborate, and learn how others are using Meltwater to solve day-to-day challenges.
