Agency Growth: +40% Valuations
The shifting landscape of agency worth in 2026. Agencies that have integrated proprietary AI workflows have seen their market valuations soar.
- EBITDA Multiples: "AI-native" agencies are being valued at multiples 30-40% higher than traditional firms, often reaching 6x-8x EBITDA.
- Intellectual Property: Value is no longer found in billable hours alone, but in the data sets and bespoke automation models the agency owns.
- Scalability: Investors are paying a premium for agencies that can scale output without a proportional increase in headcount.
