Marketing agencies are under pressure as AI lowers the value of execution, clients expect more for less, and the traditional agency model becomes harder to sustain. John Jantsch outlines nine shifts agencies and marketing consultants need to make—from owning a clear point of view and productizing their services to pricing outcomes, building predictable lead systems, and stepping into a strategic leadership role. He also explains why agencies need stronger operating systems, a more disciplined approach to AI, and networks that make the business less dependent on the founder. The goal is a more valuable, scalable agency built around strategy and results instead of selling more deliverables.
