How He Built a Niche Agency to 74 Clients & $100K+ MRR with Luke Eggebraaten
Manage episode 482905907 series 3386506
What does it really take to build a high-performing agency that stands out in a crowded digital landscape?
In this episode, I sit down with Luke Eggebraaten to unpack how he built a niche agency that scaled to 74 clients and over $100K in monthly recurring revenue—without burning out or chasing broad markets. We dive into the leadership decisions, mindset shifts, and operational systems that helped him grow Phaser Marketing into a powerhouse agency focused exclusively on excavation and construction clients.
If you’re a digital agency owner trying to reduce client churn, manage a small but growing team, or create scalable systems while staying focused on the right clients, this conversation is going to hit home. Luke shares how niching down not only accelerated growth, but gave him the clarity and capacity to lead more effectively. From hiring across time zones to implementing EOS, to building a leadership culture that thrives even when he steps back—this is the playbook for agency owners ready to lead at the next level.
Whether you’ve already built a niche agency or you’re realizing it’s time to stop being a generalist, this episode offers a direct look at how real, sustainable agency growth happens.
