Thinking About Firing Your Agency? Let's Pressure-Test the Decision.
This is a short, practical conversation to help you decide whether:
- Your agency is actually the problem
- Your team is missing the right structure or leadership
- Or you're better off doing nothing (for now)
If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.

This is not for you if:
- You just want someone to "run ads"
- You're looking for the cheapest option
- You want a vendor to shield you from marketing decisions
- You're not willing to give access to data or accounts

"I've been on both sides of the agency-client relationship. I know the games agencies play, and I know what it takes to build a high-performing internal team. Let me help you figure out the right path."

A Note from Alex
If you're unsure whether firing your agency is the right move, that's normal.
Most of the businesses we speak to don't need "better marketing". They need clarity, ownership, and a structure that actually fits their stage.
This call is about working that out. Nothing more.

Common Questions
Do you replace our agency immediately?
No. Most businesses need 60-90 days to transition properly. We help you plan it so there's zero downtime in your marketing. If you're not ready to fire them yet, we'll tell you what needs to happen first.
Do we keep ownership of accounts and data?
Absolutely. That's non-negotiable. One of the first things we do is ensure you own your ad accounts, pixels, domain, and customer data. If your agency is holding these hostage, we'll help you get them back.
What if we don't have an internal marketer yet?
That's fine. Part of our service includes recruitment and vetting. We can help you hire the right person, or we can embed one of our team members temporarily while you build internal capability.
Is this a sales call?
No. It's an assessment. We'll tell you honestly whether in-housing is right for you, and if we're the right partner to help. If the answer is no, we'll point you in the right direction anyway.
What size businesses do you usually work with?
We work best with businesses doing $2M-$50M in revenue who are spending $5k-$50k per month on marketing. If you're smaller or larger, we'll still assess your situation and give you honest guidance.
