Why small businesses get stuck
Agencies cost too much
You pay for a full bench of strategists, designers, media buyers and project managers. But you don't get the full bench. You get the overhead of a big agency without the strategy.
Freelancers disappear
They show up with a great idea and then vanish. No handoffs. No junior staff learning on your budget. You lose the continuity of a strategy that matters.
Nobody owns the strategy
Everyone has a role in the room, but no one owns the final plan. You end up with activity instead of strategy. We bring the senior person who does the work.
