Digital Marketing agencies are selling for record breaking amounts

Have you heard what industry is at the center of a recent feeding frenzy? Yes, if the subject line didn't totally give it away, one of the hottest businesses to buy right now are digital marketing agencies. With their relatively low risk, high margins, and recent surge in demand, business buyers are gobbling them up. As a matter of fact, according to Barney, the number of digital marketing agency acquisitions surged nearly 122% in recent years. But there's a catch… Not all agencies are participating in this payday equally. Agencies with revenues over $8M sell for a record breaking 8–12 times their earnings, yet those that fall below that line see their acquisition price fall off a cliff, down to about a 1.5 - 4 earnings multiple. But, it's not only the revenue that matters… Sophisticated strategic buyers look much deeper. The highest indicator of value appears to be an agency's transferability. In simple terms…for business buyers to stroke you that huge check your agency has to have the systems and process to run without you. Now, I know you may be thinking, "That's cool Ryan but I'm not interested in selling my agency." Well, this is the best part. It doesn't matter if you want to… - Stay small and just scale your personal income to 7-figures without the stress - Position yourself for a big pay day - Create passive income in retirement or, - Pass it along to your loved ones someday All those outcomes are just the options that result from the same framework… [An Exit-Able Agency](. Now, if that idea seems impossible for you, I have some good news. Knowing all this, we have decided to do something special…something we've NEVER done before. Over the last two decades, we've proven a process that any agency owner can model to quickly transform their stress-filled, struggling, one man shop into a successful, scalable, and saleable asset. This model is totally unique to the agency world and was actually borrowed from a widely-known, yet very private industry. This model typically generates over $11 billion a year in an industry that leverages freelancers, gig-workers, and independent contractors to produce highly profitable projects. When we figured out how to apply this model to the agency world, it was a total game changer. I'll share more on that with you tomorrow but in the meantime, here's a hint… Lights - Camera - Action! 🎥🎬 - Ryan P.S. Check your inbox for more on this tomorrow.
