For founder-led companies

The growth partner that decides what matters next.

Most companies can find people to make things. What's missing is someone deciding what to make. We learn the business, identify the priority and take the work from decision to launch.

The Problem We Solve

Most businesses don’t need more people waiting for instructions. They need a team that understands the whole picture, decides what matters next, and brings strategy, creative, technology and marketing together to make it happen.

The bottleneck

Growth stalls when no one owns the whole picture.

Symptom

Disconnected execution

Your brand, website, content and campaigns are moving—but not always in the same direction. Activity increases while momentum stays flat.

Symptom

Unclear priorities

There is always more that could be done, but nobody is deciding what matters most now, what can wait and what will create the biggest impact.

Symptom

Founder dependence

Every idea, brief, approval and correction still comes back to you. Growth remains limited by how much attention you personally have available.

One partner that understands the whole business, chooses the right priorities and carries the work through.

What changes

We solve the bottlenecksthat hold growth back

  • Forget about coordinating five separate providers

  • No more briefing every specialist yourself

  • Stop guessing which priority comes first

  • Say bye to recruitment, payroll and notice periods

  • Skip re-explaining your business every project

  • Done with a website, deck and ads that disagree

Two ways to add capacity

Two ways to add growth capacity.Only one of them scales.

Old model

Hire more → brief more → coordinate more.

Every new priority adds a hire, a freelancer or another agency. You end up running the roadmap, writing the briefs and chasing the work.

  • Recruit, onboard, and hope it works out
  • Fixed skills against changing priorities
  • Each provider sees one slice of the business
  • Context is lost the moment someone leaves
  • The founder becomes the project manager
New model

One team + flexible specialist layer

A consistent growth lead who knows the business, with specialist capacity that moves to whatever the current priority needs.

  • Working inside two weeks, no recruitment
  • Capabilities change as priorities change
  • One business context behind every project
  • Company Memory carries between cycles
  • You approve direction, not every brief
How we work

One roadmap, run in the open.

The same six steps on a loop, every quarter. Most growth work fails because it starts at step three — someone builds a thing before anyone checked what was actually wrong.

  1. Diagnose

    We go looking before we suggest anything. Where are people dropping out, and what is that costing you in real money?

    Output

    A written answer to that question, and what led us to it.

  2. Prioritize

    You will usually have three or four things wrong at once. We rank them by what moves money soonest, then pick one.

    Output

    One agreed priority, and an honest reason the others wait.

  3. Design

    We design the smallest thing that will actually work. Small matters — big scope is how budgets disappear without the numbers moving.

    Output

    A scope in writing, including what we are not doing.

  4. Deploy

    We build it and put it live ourselves. Nothing gets handed to someone who was not in the room when we worked it out.

    Output

    It live, with tracking switched on before launch rather than after.

  5. Measure

    We watch it past the first inquiry, through to the conversation, the quote and the close. Busy is easy to fake. Closed is not.

    Output

    Reporting against the numbers we agreed at the start.

  6. Improve

    What worked gets more. What did not gets changed. Then we go looking for the next leak the same way.

    Output

    A decision on what happens next, based on what actually happened.

The stack

One partnership.Every growth capability.

Access to all five areas from day one. What we work on in any given month is decided by what moves the business soonest — never by which plan you are on.

Deciding what the business should say, and to whom

The thinking layer. Everything downstream depends on getting this right first.

Questions

Before you ask

The things people actually want to know, answered straight.

Something not covered? Just ask us.

Eventually you should hire someone. But a first marketing hire takes about six weeks to find, a few months to ramp, and costs $95,000 to $110,000 once benefits and software are counted — and that one person still cannot design, build, write and run campaigns on their own. We are working inside two weeks, cost less, and cover the whole function. Plenty of our conversations end with us helping a founder work out exactly which role to hire, and when.

Founder-led companies, usually ten to fifty people, with a service that already sells and nobody senior owning growth. If you are pre-revenue, or still working out what you sell, we are too early for you — and we will say so on the first call rather than take the money.

We use it heavily, and so should you — it is why a small team can cover this much ground at this price. But it is our production tool, not the product. Every competitor you have now owns the same tools, which is exactly why so much marketing has started to look identical. What you are paying us for is the decision about what to do, the idea worth running, and someone holding the result. AI does none of those.

It depends on how much is already working and how much needs to move at once, so we scope it on the call rather than publish a rate card. What we will say up front: it is less than the loaded cost of one senior marketing hire, the first engagement is ninety days and then month to month, and ad spend and software sit outside the fee and stay in your name. If the number is not going to work for you, we would rather find that out in the first ten minutes than the third meeting.

Not in the way that word usually works. Agencies sell you a service and run it. We work like the growth department you have not built yet — one roadmap, one or two priorities at a time, and we are accountable to the number rather than to a deliverables list. If you want someone to run ads and report on them, there are cheaper places to get that.

The people you meet. We keep the number of live engagements deliberately low so that the person setting the direction is also in the work. Specialists come in for specific pieces — motion, development, paid media — briefed and reviewed by us, never handed off.

Usually two weeks, sometimes sooner. We only run a few engagements at once, so if we are full we will tell you rather than take the deposit and queue you.

A written update every week saying what moved, what did not, and what is next. A call once a month to look at the numbers together. Between those, we are in your Slack or on your phone. No account manager, no status meetings that exist to fill an hour.

Yes, and it usually goes better that way. We work alongside whoever you have — a junior marketer, an agency you like, a developer — and take the parts nobody is covering. We can also run the whole thing if you have nobody.

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We promise the work, the testing, the tracking and honest reporting. What we cannot control is your pricing, your capacity, your reputation and how fast your team calls people back — and those decide the result as much as we do.

The first ninety days are the commitment; after that it is month to month, cancel with thirty days. We would rather you leave than stay out of inertia, and everything is in your name from day one, so there is nothing to unpick if you do.

Yes. Accounts, data, domains, code, files — all yours, in your name from day one. Nothing is held hostage and there is nothing to migrate if you leave.

Not sure whether to hire someone or bring in a team?

Thirty minutes, no deck. Tell us what you are trying to grow and who you have doing it now, and we will tell you honestly whether this is the right shape for you.

We reply within one business day.
