How is this different from hiring an agency?
Three things. One: you work directly with the person doing the work, no account managers, no juniors learning on your budget. Two: it's a flat fee, not a percentage of spend, so budget gets cut when it isn't working. Three: the explicit goal is to leave. Most engagements last 3–6 months.
Do you guarantee results?
No, and anyone who does should make you suspicious. The guarantee is a written set of recommendations after the audit, each one ranked by likely ROI. If after two weeks you don't see the leverage, you walk away, and the audit fee is refunded in full.
Which channels do you actually run?
Meta, Google (Search + Performance Max), TikTok, Apple Search Ads, and Reddit when it fits. Across e-commerce, EdTech and consumer apps. No SEO, content production, influencer or affiliate.
What's the AI Architect piece?
Most growth teams now have a dozen vendors doing what one well-designed workflow can do in-house. Creative testing, attribution reconciliation and reporting get rebuilt on AI workflows your team can run after the handoff. Part of the engagement, not an upsell.
What about pre-revenue brands?
Don't hire yet. Paid acquisition only compounds when there's a working funnel underneath it. If you're not there, you'll get pointed to two or three people who specialise in finding product-market fit.
What does the first call look like?
30 minutes, four questions: what does your finance model assume, what's working today, what isn't, and what would a great six months look like. By the end of the call you'll know whether this can help, and which of the three engagements fits, if any.
