something fascinating is happening with agencies and AI in 2025. Silicon Valley has always written them off. 'Lifestyle businesses.' 'Bad margins.' 'Can't scale.' I heard this for years. I get it. Running an agency is brutal. You're LUCKY to hit 15% margins after paying employees, rent etc. Most agency founders spend their Sundays dreading Monday's personnel issues. but I'm watching something fascinating emerge in 2025 and i wanted to share it with you. AI agents aren't perfect yet. but the writing is on the wall: what currently takes 50 people will soon be done by 2 people orchestrating 50 AI workers. same revenue, but margins jump from 20% to 80%. no overhead, no drama, pure profit. clients pay less, get faster work. on the outside, nothing will change. same agency, same deliverables. but on the inside, pure sweet software margins. yum. i wouldnt be surprised if suddenly silicon valley liked the agency business. just a way to learn a workflow, automate, build a cash-machine and invest that into tech that makes the whole machine work smoother. me and my holdco (we've got a few agencies) will invest millions of dollars into this. putting our money where our mouth is. turns out agencies were just one letter off - they're becoming agent-cies. this wave is coming fast.
