Predictions 2026: Marketing Agencies Resign Their Agency
Once singularly focused client partners, marketing agencies are forgoing their franchise to act as agents on behalf of clients. Instead, they will become marketing purveyors that operate across several business modes: vendors that execute programs; merchants that resell software and media; affiliates that contribute capabilities to larger, matrixed organizations; and partners that deliver client-centric marketing services. With each consolidation, acquisition, or PE investment, marketing agencies’ vision moves further away from being providers of agnostic services and creators of culture to purveyors of enterprise platforms and orchestrators of strategy and execution. Put simply, your agencies will no longer act solely as your agents but also as owners of products/solutions, resellers of technology partnerships, and developers of emerging capabilities.
