Why agencies get stuck at $50k MRR
I mean, I used to work at a digital agency that pulled in way, way more than $50k MRR. It did high quality work across a range of services (copywriting, web development, graphic design, social media engagements, online advertising). Mostly it worked by having long term retainers with large clients (I remember being amazed that we wouldn't even really look at jobs under 50k). It had a lot of younger staff but the leadership was experienced and serious.<p>It was a business that was really doing well, with a huge network of contacts in the region. I'm not saying it was representative of all agencies - probably it was an exception to the rule. But I definitely got the sense that there were ways of making the agency model scale well beyond 50k/month.
