How a 6-Person Agency Built a Retainer Model That Actually Scales

Episode 24 of The Agency Owner Podcast digs into a specific structural problem: the flat retainer that squeezes margins as the client demands more hours. Lucas and Luna walk through a real 6-person agency that replaced its fixed-fee retainers with a 'scope bracket + capacity fee' model — lifting EBITDA from 12 percent to 29 percent in two quarters without losing a single client. They cover the math behind the capacity fee, how the agency communicated the change to clients, and the one mistake that nearly killed the pivot. No theory — just the mechanics of a retainer that doesn't punish efficiency. #AgencyRetainerModel #ScopeBracketPricing #CapacityFee #MarketingAgency #ServiceBusiness #AgencyProfitMargins #RetainerPricing #AgencyScaling #ClientRetention #EBITDA #AgencyOperations #PricingStrategy #ClientCommunication #6PersonAgency #AgencyGrowth #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
