Is Starting a Creative Design Agency in 2026 Still Worth It?

Is it still worth starting a creative design agency in 2026? With AI tools, no-code platforms, and thousands of agencies competing for the same clients, I’m curious to hear from agency owners and freelancers. If you were starting today: • Would you still launch a design agency? • How would you differentiate yourself from competitors? • Would you niche down or stay general? • What’s working best for acquiring clients right now? I’d love to hear your experiences, lessons, and advice. submitted by /u/Expensive
