Most agencies will use AI to grow revenue.
The best agencies will use AI to grow profit.

That's the playbook for 2026.

Between 2019–2024, 8 Figure Agency worked with 1,000+ agencies. Collectively, those agencies added over $500M in ARR. In the same period, we built an 8-figure business ourselves.

So we've seen what works. And more importantly, we've seen what breaks.

Here's what breaks most agencies:

Revenue goes up.
Client lists grow.
Team size grows.
Profit goes down.

It's the classic scale trap. And it's why growing agencies profitably is brutal.

As your agency gets bigger, so do your headaches. More meetings. More management. More mistakes. Margins compress while complexity explodes.

By the end of 2024, it became obvious: The systems that built agencies in the past won't work in the future.

So in early 2025, I evolved the business.

Not because the old model failed, but because I saw the biggest opportunity of our lifetime.

We built an engineering team to help agencies do one thing: Grow without growing headcount.

Here's how it works:

→ Audit where your team actually spends time
→ Identify processes where AI can replace 20–100% of human work
→ Engineer solutions that integrate into your workflow
→ Focus obsessively on adoption (if your team doesn't use it, it doesn't matter)

When this is done right, the result is predictable:

Revenue goes up.
Capacity goes up.
Profit goes up.
Headcount stays the same.

One client is on pace to add $1.08M in annual profit within 4 months of implementation.

This is what the next generation of agencies will look like:

Fewer people.
Better systems.
Higher margins.

If you're running a $1M-$10M agency with consistent deal flow and you're tired of trading team size for profit, let's talk.

Getting your business financials should not be hard. We are putting an end to poor communication and poor service in the bookkeeping and financial world. 
We are the financial partner you deserve.

I have 2 kids under 2 and I think about screen time more than I think about most business problems.

So when I saw the Pinterest data this week it hit different: 
> Searches for "screen free activities" are up 200%. 
>"No phone summer" is up 340%. 

Parents are actively looking for ways to pull their kids back into the real world using DIY projects, outdoor stuff, nostalgic activities from when we were kids and the only screen in the house was the TV in the living room.

An entire generation of parents watched what unlimited screen time did to the generation before their kids and they're course-correcting hard.

Here's why this matters if you run an agency:

1. If you have clients in family, parenting, kids, education, outdoor, toys, home — this is the wave to build around right now. The search data is screaming. Parents are actively searching for alternatives and spending money on them.

2. The brands that position around "here's what you do instead of handing them the iPad" are going to win this cycle because parents are desperate for it and willing to pay.

I interviewed Jeffrey Lafazan on my podcast recently about raising kids that turn out both successful and good. 

His answer was presence. Being there. Making the grocery store a math lesson. Driving in and out of a rainstorm for 30 minutes because the kids thought it was funny.

That resonated with me more than any business advice I got last year.

Agencies, build for the parents who are searching for something better. They're out there and they're looking.
