Today I wrote a really nice long post on innovation vs acquisitions. Unfortunately I deleted the article by accident 🙈 All that remains is the image we sketched out with Matthieu Manzoni & Frederic Crettenand #innovation #growth #innovationstrategy #strategy #CEOperspective

Know the difference. Understand the consequences in terms of risk and chances for success. There’s hardly any sound alternative to internal innovation. VC and other investments should be complementary.

You’re Sitting on a Gold Mine💡 If your agency is pulling in $1M to $5M in revenue, you’re sitting at a 4-6x multiple. But why settle for that? Here’s the play: stop thinking about just organic growth—start thinking like an acquirer. When you acquire another agency at a similar multiple, you’re not just adding revenue, you’re multiplying value. Get the two businesses running as one, and suddenly, you’re looking at 7x, 8x, or even 9x multiples. Most agencies settle for a 5x sale… we want you selling at 9x. It’s about smart acquisitions, stacking value, and multiplying your returns. Ready to take your agency to the next level? Let’s chat!
