Digital and marketing agencies

Industry

Digital agencies, run with AI agents. In delivery, back office and your own products.

Agencies sell hours, and AI agents now do a growing share of the work behind them. I help agencies put agents into delivery and back office, lead the technical side of client products, and launch products of their own.

  • Agents in the back office
  • Technical partner for client work
  • Your own AI products

The challenge

01

Clients want results, not hours. And AI just made your hours cheaper.

Clients expect AI in the work and fewer hours on the invoice. An agency that keeps billing time for work an agent can do ends up competing on price. One that turns its know-how into agents and products sells results instead.
