Valuation Uplift: How AI Transforms Agency Multiples from 4–6x to 10–15x

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

A clear mapping from operating improvements to multiple expansion—and how to structure the story for investors and buyers.

Agency rollups traditionally trade on services multiples. AI turns delivery into IP-augmented product. Here is the cause-and-effect chain buyers recognize.

Value drivers buyers underwrite

  1. Predictable delivery: agentic SOPs reduce variance and rebids
  2. Capacity leverage: same team, 2–3x throughput; variable cost curves flatten
  3. Data assets: reusable creative graphs and campaign memory
  4. SKU-ization: outcomes-based pricing detaches revenue from hours
  5. Expansion engine: cross-portfolio insights lift win rates and ARPU

Metrics that move the multiple

  • Win rate +15–30%
  • Cycle time −60–80%
  • Client gross retention 95%+, NRR 115–130%
  • Delivery error rate <1% with QA gates
  • EBITDA margin 30–45%

Packaging the narrative

  • Before/after cohort analysis by pod and service line
  • Control-plane screenshots: guardrails, approvals, audit
  • SKU catalog with inputs/outputs and SLA-backed outcomes
  • Case proofs: pilot → scale playbooks with dates and ROI

Make the underwriting easy: show the operating model, then the math. Multiples follow.
