How profitable are digital agencies in 2024? We teamed up with Arithmetic to survey 77 digital marketing agencies and get the lowdown on the state of agency profitability in 2024. ⚡ The good news: over half (52.94%) of agencies reported profit growth between 5% and 25% in the past year! But the question remains: how can agencies further improve their profitability? Our respondents shared their proven strategies: 1️⃣ Track and target utilization for each service division: “We set goals for each team member in terms of what their expected utilization should be and then we got the team leads to report on utilization weekly. This has greatly improved the visibility and focus on profitability per team.” - Jake Shelton, COO at Mint Design New Zealand 2️⃣ Focus on core competencies: “Our biggest move was to niche down even further than we had ever done in the past, refining our core offerings and our target market to a very narrow space. We have been getting better clients, more profitable and predictable work, and a more engaged team.” - Andi Graham, Founder & CEO at Big Sea 3️⃣ Optimize your pricing strategy: “In the past twelve months, we decided to optimize our agency’s pricing strategy as well as our client strategy, focusing more of our efforts on clients that bring in the most revenue. As a mature agency, optimizing our pricing strategy helped a lot, and the same goes for our decision to prioritize our best clients.” - Michael Maximoff, Co-Founder of Belkins Want to learn more strategies and insights from the study?

How do you share your team’s (or company’s) performance? According to our survey,  “The 2023 State of Business Reporting” (link in the comments 😉), companies typically use one of two methods: 1️⃣ Present performance on a live call, then send the slides afterward for stakeholders to review. 2️⃣ Share the report ahead of time, then meet to discuss it after everyone has read through it. Whichever way you prefer, we’ve released new improvements that will make the process of sharing and presenting Reports easier than ever. Learn more 👇
