The Problem

Most marketing does not fail from lack of effort. It fails because nobody owns it.

If you have hired before, you know the pattern:

  • Your media buyer has never seen the inside of your CRM.
  • Your designer is waiting on direction that nobody has time to give.
  • Leads come in and follow-up depends on who is having a good week.
  • The work is scattered across six tools and three vendors.
  • Nobody is accountable for the number, only for their slice.
  • You end up managing the marketing team yourself, which is not what you bought.
An Embedded Growth Operator is the person who owns it. One accountable operator who moves work from plan to done, and reports on the number.

The Ceiling, Stated Upfront

Broad Capability. Controlled Execution.

This is a managed engagement, not an open tab. Here is exactly what you get and what you do not:

  • One accountable operator who knows your account.
  • Up to three active priorities at any one time.
  • One agreed monthly growth plan.
  • Standard turnaround times on all deliverables.
  • Two revision rounds per deliverable.
  • Shared specialist support when a task needs an expert hand.
  • Large projects are scoped and quoted separately.
  • Ad spend is paid directly by you, to the platforms.

Qualify First

Two ways to work with us. Let's find out which one fits.

A short qualification survey, one question per screen, about two minutes. Tell us your revenue, your current spend, and where marketing is breaking down. We route you to the right offer: Embedded Growth Operator, Revenue Recovery System, or a straight answer that it is not a fit yet.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do I get for $5,000 a month?

One accountable operator who runs four pillars of work: paid acquisition, CRM and conversion, creative, and reporting and QA. You get a weekly operating meeting, a monthly growth plan, and a dashboard. You do not get an open-ended list of services. You get four things, done well, by one person who owns the number.

Who does the actual work, you or an AI?

Your operator does the work and makes the decisions, backed by a shared bench of senior specialists in paid media, SEO, creative, outbound, and web. AI is infrastructure underneath that: it drafts, reports, and speeds up the volume tasks. It does not run your account and it never talks to your customers without a human reviewing it first.

What if I need more than three priorities running at once?

Then you have outgrown the retainer's scope. Three active priorities keeps the work sharp instead of scattered. If you have a fourth priority, it gets queued or scoped and quoted as a separate project. We will tell you which, honestly, rather than quietly overloading the plan.

Do you manage my ad spend, or do I pay for it directly?

Ad spend is paid by you, directly to the ad platforms. We manage the strategy, the campaigns, and the optimization. Your money never routes through our account.

What's the difference between the Embedded Growth Operator and the Revenue Recovery System?

The Embedded Growth Operator is an ongoing marketing function: acquisition, conversion, creative, and reporting, run every month. The Revenue Recovery System is a fixed-scope, 14-day install that fixes follow-up and reactivates your existing database. No new ad spend is required. Many clients start with the Revenue System and move to the full operator engagement once it is generating pipeline.

How fast can we start?

You are matched with an operator within 48 hours of qualifying. From signature, the system is installed and running within 14 days: diagnose in days 1–3, plan in days 4–7, launch in days 8–14.

What happens after the first 14 days?

The system moves into an ongoing rhythm: weekly execution against the plan, a monthly scorecard reviewing the numbers, continuous optimization, and quarterly growth planning to reset priorities.

How many revisions do I get on creative or campaigns?

Two revision rounds per deliverable. That is enough to get direction right without turning every asset into an open-ended back-and-forth. Standard turnaround times apply to all deliverables.

What's not included in the $5,000/mo engagement?

Advertising spend, on-location filming, full website rebuilds, advanced custom software, unlimited revisions, unlimited campaigns, unlimited active requests, and major custom integrations. Anything on that list is scoped and quoted separately.

Do I need a long-term contract?

No long-term contract is required to start. Implementation is a one-time cost because real setup work happens in the first 14 days; the monthly engagement continues for as long as it is working for both sides.

What size business is this built for?

Most Embedded Growth Operator clients run $1M–$20M in annual revenue and already have some marketing spend and a person who handles incoming leads. If you are earlier than that, the Revenue Recovery System is usually the better starting point.

What if my project is bigger than what's included?

We scope it and quote it separately rather than trying to squeeze it into the retainer. A full website rebuild, a major integration, or a large one-off production is priced on its own. You will always know the number before it starts.

Do you build my website?

The retainer includes landing-page support: new pages and funnel pieces tied to active campaigns. Full website rebuilds are not included in the monthly engagement and are scoped as a separate project.

What happens if it's not a fit?

We tell you directly. The qualification step exists so neither side wastes time. If your revenue, spend, or readiness does not line up with the Embedded Growth Operator or the Revenue Recovery System, we will say so and point you to what makes more sense.
