Is Elements worth running as a client service?
The evidence supports that Elements provides a comprehensive asset library and AI generation tools that can streamline creative production. However, the lack of white-label capabilities and client management features means agencies must factor in manual client management overhead. The actual ROI depends on how the agency leverages the tool and prices its services.
