The great agency death - Why 80 percent of all agencies will no longer be able to cover their costs in 2023

10/14/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

The great agency death is a problem that will confront many agencies in the coming years. It is expected that by 2023, more than 80 percent of all agencies will be unable to cover their costs.

This is due to a number of factors, including increasing competition, which means many agencies will have to lower their prices to attract business. It's also possible that some clients who turn to large agencies prefer to buy individual services instead of an expensive, full-service offering, which means agencies also receive less money per job.

In addition, increasing technologies are increasing the use of automated processes, which means that much of the work that used to be done by agencies is now done by computer programs. This results in agencies needing fewer employees to do their work, which in turn results in cost savings.

Another factor driving agency death is the increasing competition from new, very low-cost agencies that are often used to replace existing agencies. These new agencies often offer much better value than many established agencies, making them more popular with clients.

Finally, some agencies may also be affected by the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic, as some industries have suffered a severe downturn that has reduced demand for agency services.

All of these factors contribute to the possibility that many agencies will no longer be viable by 2023 because they will not be able to cover their costs. It is therefore important that agencies actively seek new ways to reduce their costs and develop new revenue streams now in order to survive in an increasingly competitive landscape.
