Executive Summary

Marketing agencies spend disproportionate time producing weekly client reports—many teams spend 1–3 hours per client per week (roughly 4–12 hours per month) compiling charts, cleaning data and writing the narrative that clients actually value. This is costly in billable hours and opportunity cost for strategic work, and it creates risk as the industry shifts to outcome-based pricing that requires repeatable proof-of-work and clear ROI narratives. You could build a SaaS platform that ingests ad and analytics APIs, standardizes metrics, runs anomaly detection and KPI calculations, and then produces client-ready weekly deliverables: white-label PDFs, a lightweight dashboard, Slack summaries, and generative-AI–crafted narratives with a human-in-the-loop editor for quality control. With an addressable market of 360,000 marketing agencies at an illustrative $3,000 ACV (a $1.08B market) and market and revenue scores of 84/100 and 86/100, the timing is favorable because platform APIs are more reliable, generative models lower the marginal cost of narratives, and agencies need defensible reporting to support retainers. Major challenges are connector maintenance, data quality, privacy/compliance, and earning agency trust in automated commentary. To differentiate, prioritize explainability and audit trails, verticalized KPI templates, tight workflow integrations (Asana/Slack/billing), robust white‑labeling and a pricing model tied to documented hours saved or retainer defense rather than per-report volume. Competition is moderate, so focus on a narrow initial segment (for example agencies with ≥10 retainers), prove a measurable 25–50% cut in reporting time, and build a pragmatic connector and QA roadmap; if you can execute on those points, the market economics and current technical trends make this a project worth piloting.
