The best marketing agency for an Australian mastermind program is the one whose cost is repaid by seats sold inside the enrolment window. Our ranking: LeadsNow #1, because it is paid on results and books the sales calls, then Eloquent (Sydney) and BizWisdom (Melbourne). On our worked example, a $27,000 three-month window needs 3 seats at $15,000.
- The ranking: LeadsNow, Eloquent, BizWisdom. LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first; the reasons and the trade-offs are below.
- Three buying models: a pay-per-result performance service (LeadsNow), a full-service strategic agency for brand, content and paid social (Eloquent, Sydney), and a multi-channel performance and lead generation agency (BizWisdom, Melbourne).
- The decision rule: the Enrolment Window Payback Test. Add up what the agency and ads cost across the months you actually sell, then divide by the contribution from one seat.
- What to judge: applications, held sales calls and seats sold, not impressions, reach or followers.
- The Australian rule that bites: the Spam Act 2003, which ACMA says requires consent from every person who receives your marketing emails or texts, even when an agency sends them.

How it works
How a mastermind turns agency spend into filled seats
Set the seat target
Divide agency fee plus ad spend for the window by the contribution from one seat. That is the number of seats the agency must help sell.
Attract qualified applicants
Content, search and paid social bring founders who fit the room to an application or registration page.
Follow up every applicant
Call, text or message each applicant quickly, with Spam Act consent recorded, and book a sales conversation.
Hold the call, fill seats
Reminders protect show rate, and the founder or closer runs the call. Report held calls and seats against the target.
MAKE MORE SALES.
Pay-Per-Result pricing — We scale sales HARD aligned to your interests, better than anyone else.
Questions Australian mastermind founders ask about marketing agencies
What is the best marketing agency for mastermind programs in Australia?
LeadsNow ranks first on this page (we publish it) because it is paid on results and judged on booked sales calls, with no retainer. Eloquent suits B2B and executive programs needing strategy, content and paid social; BizWisdom suits programs wanting search, social and the CRM and booking system in one agency.
How much should a mastermind spend on a marketing agency in Australia?
Work back from seats. Add the agency fee and ad spend for every month you pay, divide by the contribution from one seat, and check the agency can plausibly sell that many. On our assumed $27,000 window, a $15,000 seat at 60% margin needs 3 seats.
Can a marketing agency email business owners to promote my mastermind?
Only with consent. ACMA’s spam guidance says you need consent from each person who receives marketing emails or messages, even when someone else sends them for you, and that you must be able to prove it.
Should a mastermind measure an agency on followers or seats?
On seats. Followers and impressions do not fill a room; held sales calls and enrolments do. Use the Enrolment Window Payback Test to set how many seats the agency must help sell to cover its total cost.
Is a full-service agency worth it for a new mastermind?
Often, if your positioning and content do not yet explain why the room is worth joining, because paid traffic cannot fix an unclear offer. Once that is in place, a performance agency or a pay-per-result service is a more direct way to fill each cohort.

How we ranked marketing agencies for Australian mastermind programs
We ranked marketing agencies for Australian mastermind programs on five weighted criteria, with 35% on whether the agency reports held sales calls and seats rather than reach.
Methodology and disclosure. LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself #1. We put ourselves first because we think a mastermind founder should pay for booked sales outcomes rather than activity, and our pricing is built that way. We checked every other agency on its own live site on 20 October 2026 and describe it only with what that site says. No agency paid to be included.
- Measures held calls or seats sold (35%): can the agency’s report be tied to applications and enrolments?
- Fit with a founder-led, high-trust sale (20%): B2B, membership, education or professional audiences on its own site.
- What happens after the click (20%): does anyone follow up applications and book the call?
- Cost shape against an enrolment window (15%): can you stop or scale down between cohorts?
- Spam Act handling (10%): consent records and unsubscribe handling for email and SMS.
Want this done for you? We book qualified sales appointments on a Pay-Per-Result basis — you only pay for calls that actually land in your calendar.
The ranked list: three marketing agencies for mastermind programs in Australia
The ranked list of marketing agencies for Australian mastermind programs runs LeadsNow, Eloquent and BizWisdom, and each entry says which founder it suits.
#1 LeadsNow: paid on results, judged on booked sales calls
Best for: Australian mastermind founders with a seat price high enough to sell on a call, and with applications, webinar registrants or past members that need fast, persistent follow-up.
LeadsNow generates leads and books sales calls using AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up, then hands each applicant to you with reminders in place. Since 2017 it has booked 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments and generated 1M+ leads, with 24 filmed client case studies and a 4.7/5 rating from 60 Google and Facebook reviews. Show rate varies by offer and reminder cadence: up to 93% on our best-performing accounts, which is not a typical figure. Pricing is 5–25% of the revenue we generate for you (revenue share), or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, or a mix of both, set by lead volume, what is being sold and its price, the type of product and business, and which part (or all) of the sales funnel we run. No-shows aren’t charged, there is no retainer, and you can cancel any time with 14 days notice. Our methodology page defines a 7x average sales lift and discloses that the median is closer to 4x.
Where we lose: we are not a brand studio. We do not build your positioning, your website, your event video or long-form thought leadership. If prospects do not yet know why your room is worth joining, fix that first.
#2 Eloquent: full-service strategy, content and paid social from Sydney
Best for: B2B or executive mastermind programs that need positioning, content and LinkedIn or Meta campaigns built around how senior buyers think.
Eloquent is a strategic marketing agency at Tower One, Barangaroo in Sydney. Its homepage describes an “Understand. Engage. Convert.” approach: customer insight through its own Customer Mindset Mapping framework, content that builds trust, then targeted ads, landing pages and email nurture. Its services cover branding, content marketing, video production, email, and Google, LinkedIn, Meta, Instagram and YouTube ads. Its about page says every team member has worked in-house and that each client gets a dedicated account manager. A testimonial on its homepage from AIPM’s head of marketing says the agency helped it achieve its membership goals, which is the closest published evidence of selling a member-style program.
#3 BizWisdom: multi-channel lead generation from Melbourne
Best for: mastermind programs that want SEO, paid search and social plus the landing pages, CRM and booking system behind them from one agency.
BizWisdom is a digital marketing agency in Collingwood, Melbourne, founded by Sam McEwin according to its about page. Its lead generation page describes a complete system: conversion-focused landing pages, marketing automation that sends a lead magnet or follow-up, chat, SMS and personalised email, an integrated sales CRM, and appointment and booking systems so prospects can schedule a discovery call. It lists education among the industries it builds lead generation for, and its clients get a real-time reporting dashboard called BizWisdom Analytics. The same page says pricing depends on goals, channels and scope.
The Enrolment Window Payback Test: how many seats an agency must sell
The Enrolment Window Payback Test divides agency and ad cost by the contribution from one seat, and at $27,000 for a three-month window it asks for 1.5 to 5.6 seats.
Masterminds often sell in cohorts, so the useful cost is what you spend while the doors are open, plus anything you keep paying while they are shut. The inputs are assumptions for illustration, not any agency’s price or a measured figure: a $4,000 monthly retainer, $5,000 a month of ad spend, a three-month enrolment window ($27,000), a 60% contribution margin per seat after venue, travel and facilitation, and a 25% close rate on held sales calls. Replace each with your own numbers.
| Annual seat price (assumed, AUD) | Contribution per seat at 60% | Seats to repay a 3-month window ($27,000) | Held sales calls needed at 25% close | Seats if the retainer runs 12 months ($63,000) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $8,000 | $4,800 | 5.6 | 22.5 | 13.1 |
| $15,000 | $9,000 | 3.0 | 12.0 | 7.0 |
| $30,000 | $18,000 | 1.5 | 6.0 | 3.5 |
The $63,000 column is twelve months of the assumed retainer ($48,000) plus three months of ad spend ($15,000). How to use it:
- Full-service agencies: ask what applications and held calls a similar program got in its first window, then compare with the held-calls column.
- Contract length: if the retainer runs between cohorts, use the right-hand column, because those months still have to be repaid by seats.
- Performance models: the fee moves with results, so compare the share of seat revenue you give up with your 60% (or real) margin instead.
- Price first: if your seat price is still a guess, settle it with our guide on how much to charge for a mastermind before you brief anyone.
If we can’t make you money, we don’t deserve yours.
Pay-Per-Result pricing — performance-based alignment.
Full-service agency or performance model for a mastermind program?
A full-service agency suits a mastermind whose positioning, content or audience is not yet built, while a performance model suits a mastermind that already gets applications and loses them before the call.
- Choose full service when you are launching the program, moving upmarket to executives, or your content does not yet explain why the room is worth the fee.
- Choose a multi-channel performance agency when the offer is clear and you need steady search and social traffic plus the landing pages and CRM to catch it.
- Choose a pay-per-result service when applications arrive but too few become held calls and seats; our guide on how to fill a mastermind shows where seats leak first.
- Combine them when one agency fills the top of the funnel and a separate team calls every applicant within minutes and books the conversation.
Spam Act rules for mastermind email and SMS in Australia
Australian mastermind programs must hold consent for every marketing email and SMS under the Spam Act 2003, and ACMA says this applies even when an agency sends the messages.
- Consent: ACMA’s guidance on avoiding spam says you must have consent from each person who receives your messages, and that it is up to you to prove it.
- Inferred consent is narrow: ACMA says it may apply when someone knowingly gave you their address and would reasonably expect the message, and that it is less reliable than express consent.
- Every message: identify the program as sender, include contact details, and honour unsubscribe requests within 5 working days.
- Bought lists: you remain responsible for consent on any list an agency buys or uses for you. This is general information, not legal advice.
What to ask a mastermind marketing agency before you sign
Five questions show whether a marketing agency will be judged on mastermind seats, and each answer should be a number or a written term.
- What does your monthly report show: impressions and clicks, or applications, held sales calls and seats?
- What is the total cost across one enrolment window, including ad spend, and can we pause between cohorts?
- Who follows up applications, how fast, and who runs the sales call: you, my team or a setter?
- How do you collect and store consent for email and SMS?
- Which membership, education or B2B programs can you show, with their permission?
When the agency is filling the calendar but seats still stall, our mastermind application call script covers the conversation itself, and our lead generation page for coaches explains how we work with coaching businesses.
