The Agency Scaling Problem
Every agency hits a wall. You can only hire so many people, train them so fast, and bill so many hours. Traditional agency scaling means: Linear Growth: 2x clients = 2x staff = 2x overhead Training Burden: New hires take months to become productive Quality Variance: Different team members deliver different results Margin Pressure: More clients means more management overhead AI automation breaks this linear relationship. With the right tools, one strategist can manage what previously required a team.What Agencies Can Automate
