How we work

We onboard all new clients in the same way

1

Value proposition workshop

We run this as a pre-sales exercise with every new client or prospect. This helps us build a picture of your product / service and how it connects to your audience.
2

Proposal and high-level project plan

We believe in the philosophy that 'planning is guessing' so after understanding your goals and objectives, we design our project plan in 6 weeks sprints and include this in a proposal.
3

We work together for 6 weeks

In our experience, if we can not deliver value in the first 6 weeks we may not be a good fit for each other. Results speak for themselves so if we're together after 6, we're most likely meant to be ❤️

About Our Company

Got a question?

Ask us directly
01

Alright, but what exactly do you do?

As a start-up growth agency we help you test your message with different customer segments, acquire those customers, then scale up. We provide all the tools and resources necessary so you can focus on what you do best.
02

I don't need help testing messages or scaling. I just need someone to do a job. Can we still work together?

We hope so! If you've got all your ducks in a row already, and just need a team to execute a plan, we will happily comply.
03

Are your rates competitive?

Our rates are fair. Good work comes at a price and while we're not going to gouge you for profit, we do believe in fairly compensating all our stakeholders. We price our projects accordingly.
04

Do we have to work in 6 weeks sprints or can we just agree a monthly retainer?

We find 6 weeks sprints allow us to plan far enough in advance to make consistent progress, while not planning so far ahead that we miss new opportunities for growth. We invoice monthly in arrears.
