How to Scale an Agency 🚀

How to Double a 7 Figure Advertising Agency in 6 months (Jordan Ross Case Study Interview)


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I sit down with Patrick O’Driscoll — Co-Founder & CEO of The Visionary Group — to break down exactly how he and his team scaled from $80k/month to nearly $180k/month in just 6 months.

And they didn’t do it with paid ads first.


They did it by fixing their operations.


We walk through the exact backend changes they made, the mistakes they cleaned up, and what it really looks like to build an operational foundation that can scale.


If you’re an agency owner stuck in the day-to-day — this is your blueprint.


What You’ll Learn:
