Why pay you when I already have AI?

AI, and the low-cost automated tools built on it, sell you instructions or output and disclaim the result. Read their terms: they take no responsibility for whether it works. We do the opposite. We build and run the marketing and hold ourselves to defined outcomes, with our name on it. By our own rule, anything we produce that you could have generated yourself doesn't ship. You're paying for execution, judgment, and accountability, not answers you can already get for free.

How are you different from an agency?

Most agencies execute a scope and report activity. We own the outcome. We build the marketing, run it, and hold ourselves to a small number of real business measures agreed up front, not a list of tasks performed.

The Growth Diagnostic is $2,500, fixed scope, and it becomes your first month if you go on to the retainer. Done-For-You starts at $8,000 per month. Advisory, where we direct your own team, is $5,000 per month. Exact scope is set together once we understand your situation.

How long until I see results?

Meaningful marketing results take a quarter, not weeks. Engagements begin with a defined initial term and checkpoints at thirty, sixty, and ninety days, measured against the few numbers that actually matter for your business.

Am I locked into a long contract?

No. After the initial term you continue month to month with a clear notice period. We earn retention by continuing to deliver, not by trapping you in a contract.

What do you actually do, day to day?

We build and run funnels, paid acquisition, content, and the systems and measurement behind them. The strategy, documentation, and playbooks come with it as the record of the work, not as a plan for you to execute on your own.
