🚨 Emergency Episode for Marketing Founders, Ad Agencies & SMMAs🚨

If you're still relying on public AI tools and duct-taped SOPs, your agency is already falling behind.


In this episode, Jordan Ross (Founder, 8 Figure Agency) delivers a blunt warning for marketing and creative agency owners:

AI is not coming—it's already here. And unless you build your own vector database, implement agentic workflows, and truly own your IP, you'll be replaced by someone who did.


🎙 What You’ll Learn:

Why most agencies are sleepwalking into extinction


The 3 types of AI (and which don’t give you a competitive edge)


Why building a vectorized database is your moat


How top agencies are using proprietary data to automate campaigns, improve results, and grow margins to 80%+


The massive mistake founders make trying to build AI systems with traditional engineers


Why it takes 12–18 months to build a defensible AI foundation—and why starting now matters


How AI will collapse the cost of acquisition for smarter agencies


The real reason most agencies won’t survive past 2027


📌 Quote:

“If your business breaks when you stop working, you don’t own a company—you own a liability. The agencies building custom AI systems will dominate. Everyone else? Obsolete.”


💡 For Ad Agency Founders, Creatives & Media Buyers:

This episode is your wake-up call. The AI revolution isn’t theoretical anymore. This is the dot-com moment for agencies—and most of the market won’t make it.
