Ostrich-Owned Agencies

Endangered But Hardly Rare, Agencies Paralyzed by Poor Prodctivity

Blutui CEO Graeme Blake and his team have met with countless Founders, CEOs, and senior leadership teams from seemingly thriving agencies, only to discover that, just beneath the surface, internal chaos was running their show.

That was our reality, too.

“As an independent digital agency, we spent years with our heads buried in the sand, hoping the chaos would somehow resolve itself”, says Graeme. “We told ourselves the pain was just ‘normal for the industry’, the missed deadlines, bloated teams, fragmented tools, and profit-draining inefficiencies. We waited. And we hoped and we coped until we didn’t.

Eventually, after canvassing agencies around the world we realized we weren’t alone, and more importantly, that waiting for someone else to fix it wasn’t a strategy. So we did the only thing we could: we lifted our heads, acknowledged the problem, and tackled it head-on”.

At the heart of the issue was tech fragmentation, overcomplicated workflows, and teams stretched thin doing low-value work. Despite solid revenue and strong creative output, we were burning time, energy, and people. The agency was on the edge, not because the work wasn’t good, but because the system around it was broken.

That was the turning point. We figured we had two options:

1: Keep enduring the dysfunction, or 

2: Do something about it.

We chose the latter.

That choice led us to build Blutui, a platform created specifically to address the misery so many agencies face when delivering digital projects. Not theory. Not fluff. A practical, battle-tested solution born inside a real agency, for agencies. “We built Blutui so yours doesn’t have to go through the same struggle”, says Graeme.

If you’ve come to accept inefficiency, complexity, and late nights as “just part of the job,” we’re here to tell you: that was certainly true once, but it isn’t anymore. Blutui solves for the chaos, eliminating pain points, streamlining delivery, and putting control back in the hands of your team.

The difference is immediate. Blutui fits seamlessly into your existing workflow, saves a staggering amount of time, and delivers up to a 400% productivity boost, without compromising your creative vision or UX/UI strategy.

So don’t wait another day, week, or (worst of all) another year tolerating the dysfunction.
