EMPLOYERS

You’ve got brilliant talent.

But maybe they’re missing deadlines, bouncing between tasks, or running on empty.

This isn’t a performance issue.

It’s ADHD — under-supported, under-recognised, and often mismanaged in agency life.

1 in 5 people in creative industries shows ADHD traits.

But most never get formal support — until burnout or breakdown.

You don’t need a new process.

You need a strategy for neurodivergent brains.

ADHD support that helps your people thrive — without burning them out.

What Happens When You Ignore It

Undiagnosed, unmanaged ADHD doesn’t just make people “a bit disorganised.”

It erodes performance from the inside out — and costs your agency more than you realise.

Without the right support, ADHD talent in your team are likely to:

  • Burn out trying to mask chaos while still hitting creative highs

  • Ghost deadlines or meetings, not because they don’t care — but because time doesn’t register the same way

  • Work twice as hard to keep up… until they crash completely

  • Lose confidence fast, even when the work is brilliant

  • Avoid feedback, spiral in shame, or disappear from key projects

  • Start job-hopping (or quit the industry altogether)

  • Develop coping behaviours that could drift into debt, addiction, or severe mental health decline

According to a 2024 Deloitte neurodiversity report, unmanaged ADHD is one of the top five neurotypes linked to burnout, attrition, and absenteeism in creative industries.

You don’t see all of this on the surface. But it’s happening.

And the longer it’s left unaddressed, the harder it is to recover.

Built by Someone Who’s Lived It

This is real-world ADHD support from someone who’s spent over 20 years inside agencies — as a disorganised account manager, an obsessive strategist, and someone who didn’t know he had ADHD until it nearly broke him.

  • I’ve travelled to the wrong city for a client meeting

  • I’ve smashed the big idea and still missed the basics

  • I’ve burned out, and jumped between jobs because I didn’t want to be ‘found out’ (because I didn’t know I had ADHD)

Now as an accredited ADHD Coach I work directly with agencies and clients, helping their teams avoid the spiral I spent two decades in — with training, tools and coaching that actually reflect the way agency work functions.
