Growing a nine-figure agency takes more than hustle.

It takes clarity. Systems. And the ability to scale without losing your edge.

→ The early decisions that shaped their growth → How to define your unique value proposition → Why standardizing culture and accountability is a non-negotiable → What it takes to scale without breaking → And how AI is already transforming the agency model

Alex Melen has been leading in digital marketing for over 20 years. He’s spoken at nearly 100 conferences, been featured in Forbes and NPR, and has the numbers to back it all up.
