#565: How to Make Your Ad Agency Indespensible, With Marcus Sheridan
About this episode
Marcus Sheridan discusses how ad agencies can remain indispensable in the age of AI.
Is your ad agency truly indispensable — or is it one AI update away from irrelevance? Marcus Sheridan — bestselling author of They Ask, You Answer and Endless Customers, and founder of AI Trust Signals — joins Park Howell on the Business of Story to deliver a message most agency principals aren't ready to hear: the three services that built most agencies are already disappearing, and the threat isn't coming from your competitors. It's coming from your own resistance to change. In this conversation, Marcus and Park dig into why identity fluidity is the agency survival superpower of the AI era, how vibe coding is already replacing $15,000–$30,000 projects overnight, why 75–80% of SEO traffic is vanishing to AI-generated summaries, and what it actually means to build an agentic-ready web presence for your clients. Plus — Park shares how he used the StoryCycle Genie to produce a complete brand assessment and thought leadership article for Marcus in under three hours. Marcus's response? "It would be a crime not to use AI." If you want to know how to make your agency indispensable in the age of AI, this episode is your roadmap. 🎧 Listen now and discover why proactivity is the key —…
