The agency world is in a shakeup. AI is changing how work gets done, how in-house teams are structured, and which agencies even make the shortlist. On top of that, buyers are more risk averse, sales cycles are tighter, and the old pitch decks are falling flat.
In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what we are actually seeing across hundreds of agencies behind the scenes. There is a clear pattern between the agencies that are quietly breaking records and the ones that feel like they are pushing a boulder uphill. It comes down to three specific shifts.
We talk about the kind of offer that gets a yes without six months of internal approvals, why traditional “awareness first” marketing is losing ground to outcome based campaigns, and how founder visibility is turning into one of the strongest growth channels for agencies in 2026.
If you run a marketing, digital, creative, or PR agency and you want to stay off the chopping block, this episode will show you how to adjust before the market forces you to.
