How we work

The same path,
every time.

Content and expertise-led growth marketing, with paid media used to amplify what’s already working.

Most agencies sell custom scopes that turn every engagement into a negotiation. We sell one retainer with fixed scope — here’s exactly what that looks like.

How an engagement starts

  1. 01

    Discovery

    30 minutes

    We qualify fit on revenue, growth stage, and values alignment. Nicholas leads strategy on every engagement — day-to-day execution is handled by our team. No pitch deck.

    If the fit isn’t there we say so on the call, rather than sending a proposal you would have to decline.

  2. 02

    Strategy

    60 minutes

    We walk the engagement model and present a 90-day plan specific to your pipeline gaps. Pricing follows in writing within 48 hours.

    You leave the call knowing which engagement level fits and what the first quarter actually contains.

  3. 03

    Onboarding

    14 days

    From signed agreement to first content in market is two weeks. By day 30, your content engine is live and tracking is in place.

    Onboarding is a fixed sequence — access, audit, messaging, calendar — not an open-ended discovery phase.

Engagement levels

01$3M–$15M revenue

Growth Foundations

For B2B companies that need a complete marketing function without hiring an internal team. Six-month minimum, then month to month.

What’s included

  • Quarterly strategy sessions and a written 90-day roadmap
  • Two long-form articles per month, optimized for search and aligned to pipeline
  • Ongoing technical SEO, on-page optimization, and link building
  • Company-owned distribution: three to five LinkedIn posts per week, published on your company channels
  • Management of one paid channel (typically Google Search or LinkedIn Ads)
  • Monthly pipeline report tying marketing activity to leads and opportunities
  • Quarterly Business Review with the founder and any leadership stakeholders
  • Founder visibility available as an add-on: executive LinkedIn, interviews, and on-camera work

Right for you if

  • You’re between $3M and $15M in annual revenue
  • You want a marketing function that runs without one person’s constant personal output
  • You’d rather pay one fixed fee than negotiate a custom scope
  • You want a pipeline you can measure, not a dashboard full of vanity metrics

Not right for you if

  • You’re under $3M in revenue
  • You want à la carte work or one-off projects
  • You’re not ready to commit to six months
  • You’re looking for the cheapest agency in the market
02$15M–$50M revenue

Growth Engine

For B2B companies that are scaling and need an aggressive growth engine. Six-month minimum, then month to month.

What’s included

  • Everything in Growth Foundations
  • Four long-form articles per month, plus one cornerstone asset per quarter (research report, original framework, or in-depth guide)
  • Two paid channels with managed ad spend
  • A company-owned content series: one fully produced and distributed episode per month
  • Marketing automation setup and management (HubSpot or equivalent)
  • Sales enablement assets: case studies, one-pagers, and pitch decks
  • Executive visibility and podcast production available as an add-on

Right for you if

  • You’re between $15M and $50M in annual revenue
  • You’re ready to invest in original content (research, frameworks, an owned series) as a moat
  • You have a sales team that needs marketing-built assets
  • You want a marketing engine, not a marketing vendor

Not right for you if

  • You’re under $15M in revenue (Growth Foundations is the right starting point)
  • You want to test the engagement before committing to the full model
  • Your team can’t support producing original research and content
  • You’re looking for a single channel, not a full growth engine

Every engagement reports the same way, whatever its shape. The Sun-Man 40th Anniversary campaign is scoped as a project rather than a retainer. Its numbers are published in full, and that is the standard.

What we don’t sell

We don’t sell hourly work, one-off projects, à la carte services, or custom scopes outside the two engagement levels. We don’t run social for B2C brands, manage influencer campaigns, or take on companies under $3M in revenue. If that’s what you need, we’ll point you to someone who does it well.

A note on pricing

We don’t publish specific pricing because the right level for your company is a conversation, not a number on a page. Both engagement levels are priced as monthly retainers with six-month minimums. Pricing is shared on the discovery call once we’ve confirmed which level fits, and a written agreement follows within 48 hours. No long proposals, no negotiation theater, no hidden fees.

Thirty minutes.
No deck.

If you’re a B2B company between $3M and $50M and you want pipeline you can measure — the next step is a discovery call.
