AGAINSTTypical marketing agency
One channel. Several gaps.
Most agencies run one channel — ads, or SEO, or social — and hand you off to whoever else handles the rest. When a lead disappears between the ad and the website, or the website and the follow-up, no single vendor is accountable, because none of them owns the whole path. We own the whole path, so there’s nowhere for a lead to quietly disappear without us seeing exactly where.
AGAINSTBuilding an in-house team
A long ramp. A wide bench to hire.
An in-house team takes months to hire, train, and get fully productive — and even then, you’re paying for generalists to cover specialist work (paid media, CRM, creative, automation) that a dedicated team does faster and better. We arrive with the full specialist bench already built, and you don’t carry the hiring risk or the ramp-up time.
AGAINSTFreelancer or vendor stack
Strong pieces. Unowned handoffs.
A freelancer for ads, another for the website, another for email — each one is good at their piece and accountable for none of the gaps between the pieces. That’s usually where leads actually die: not in any single channel, but in the handoffs nobody owned. We removed the handoffs by removing the separate vendors.
AGAINSTLarge traditional agency
Senior pitch. Junior delivery.
Large agencies sell you the senior team in the pitch and hand you off to a junior account team once you sign. The person who designed your strategy stays involved in building it here — because separating the thinking from the doing is exactly where most agency work quietly falls apart.
