Choosing Your Path

I think the agency model is splitting in two parts.

00:03

So the PET one, you have a traditional staff argumentation agency so you sell hours combined with expertise.

00:11

And second PET is AI enabled agencies.

00:14

So you build automated systems that multiply human expertise.

00:19

And this crucial is different.

00:20

So more details on stuff argumentation side.

00:23

So you hire more people to deliver more work, so you trade time for money.

00:28

so you are not building solutions client need.

00:31

You are not perceived as a strategist, more as an executioner.

00:36

And that's the old way.

00:38

So the second path is you deliver the systems and architecture that can stay care without the proportional headcount increases.

00:47

And this is very important.

00:49

So here you deliver the systems and that's the crucial difference in the value perception itself.

00:57

So what changed is AI just didn't make the people more efficient.

01:02

It fundamentally restructured what is possible for the businesses.

01:07

Okay, so the agencies of the future are AI enabled teams and GTM strategies that building the scalable automated systems for their clients.

01:17

And I think the traditional agencies can compete on that.

01:22

Neither on price, neither on speed, on consistency.

01:25

And most importantly they can't compete on the ultimate value they deliver.

01:32

So the competitive advantage no longer comes from, from how many hours you work for a client and you charge based on that like reporting on hours worked.

01:44

It comes more from how you architect the systems that create a leverage.

01:50

So this is very very important.

01:52

So I'm not talking here about the replacing the human judgment.

01:55

It is more about the amplifying the human judgment.

02:00

So that means your strategist and best people in the agency should spend time on strategy, not on administration, and other coordination.

02:08

Your account managers should build the relationships, not chase for the approvals and bridge the communication back.

02:16

Your analysts should analyze, not complete a spreadsheet and do a back and forth.

02:22

So this is what is all about.

02:24

And my ask is which path is your agency on?
