So do you really need a CMO?
Consider the following statements.
Our most successful client has the following qualities
We approach each new potential client as an application. Our consultations act as an interview to identify successful projects. We see each new client as an investment; a client is only valuable or interesting to us if we see the potential for substantial long-term scaling.
And we have the tools and knowledge to know if you’re product is viable. Having worked hand-in-hand with dozens of teams, and having data on hundreds of products through our investors, we can actually evaluate whether a team will succeed. We know the niches intimately and the startup world through our own experience. We call our team a “Board of Directors” as that is how we see our relationship to your marketing.

FAQ
How do you work with clients? (timing, meetings)
We are a very hands on team; generally, this involves us us sharing a slack channel with you and being available as we work 24-7 – we’re equally excited to be working with you.
On all packages, you get UNLIMITED one-on-one’s with our CEO, unlimited slack access., a monthly check in with your account manager, weekly video reports on campaign management, and full access to our backend via the newly updated (2020) client portal.

Is there a pay-per-performance option?
Yes, there is. We can opt to build campaigns with a $2500 set up fee and a negotiated per lead price and per close price.
Warning – it tends to be pretty advantageous to us! But up to you the client, ultimately. We’ll hold you to it.
What if we aren't satisfied or don't reach the results?
Sometimes, things don’t go according to plan – delays on our end, your end, even industry constraints and obstacles (Like CoVid!) we never would have anticipated.
We have pages and pages of documentation to address various scenarios – we don’t give up on clients. Often, we’ve developed new services or products to address clients where things haven’t gone according to plan.
That being said, our vetting process is very important and the more info you can get us in advance of starting, the more accurate the estimates we can get you.
Do you do design or copy, or do I need to hire other people?
