Marketing Consulting That Actually Gets Implemented

For founders who are tired of paying for strategy that collects dust on a shelf.

What if your marketing operated with the precision of a Kleiner Perkins portfolio company, but without the seven-figure budget? Most consulting stops at the deck. We start there.

When Zipbuds needed to reposition their audio products, we delivered the strategy and then produced the entire campaign—videos, web pages, and social assets—that drove a 28% increase in direct-to-consumer sales within one quarter.

Three Principles That Separate Our Consulting

1. Execution-Backed Strategy

We don’t just tell you what to do. Our $1,800/month retainer includes both the strategic direction and the creative execution. If we recommend a video series, we produce it. If your landing page needs redesign, we build it.

2. One-Thing-at-a-Time Focus

While other consultants overwhelm you with 50-page plans, we work on one active project at a time. This week: fixing your email sequence. Next week: rebuilding your sales deck. Complete each initiative before moving to the next.

3. Unlimited Iteration Model

Strategy evolves through testing, not theorizing. With unlimited weekday revisions via email/text, we improve approaches derived from real performance data, not just best practices.

The Objection Every Smart Founder Has

“Why wouldn’t I just hire a specialized consultant for each channel?”

Because integration is where strategy fails. Video experts optimize for views. Web designers optimize for aesthetics. We optimize for qualified leads—the only metric that actually grows your business.

“After working with 500 Startups and Designer Fund portfolio companies, we’ve seen what actually moves needles. It’s not more analysis—it’s fewer, better-carried out initiatives.”

Why The Retainer Model Works for Consulting

At $1,800/month, you get continuous masterful guidance coupled with hands-on execution. Unlike long-established and accepted consultants who charge $15,000 for a deck, we stay through implementation. One project at a time means we’re invested in your results, not just our recommendations.

Human Strategy in an AI World

Although tools can create generic advice, they can’t understand your specific customers or ahead-of-the-crowd circumstances. Our consulting is 100% human-crafted by professionals who’ve worked with organizations from The Smithsonian to Amazon Advertising.

Stop collecting strategies. Start implementing them.
