A sequenced GTM playbook that gets stronger the longer it runs.

Four phases owned end to end by senior operators and well-crafted agents working in tandem, so web, search, GTM, and paid media ship faster, hit harder, and compound instead of starting over.

Pillar 01

Foundation

Positioning, ICP, and measurement — the structural layer everything depends on.

Before spending a dollar on campaigns, we build the layer that determines whether everything after it compounds or collapses. We audit your current state, define your ICP with precision, build measurement infrastructure, and establish the positioning that gives every downstream asset a clear job.

Pillar 02

Activation

Launch channels with intent and attribution baked in from day one.

With the architecture in place, every channel launches with attribution baked in. This isn’t "turn on ads and hope." Website goes live. SEO indexing begins. First paid campaigns target validated ICPs. Content aligns with search intent. Every action generates data that feeds the next decision.

Pillar 03

Acceleration

Double down on what the data says works. Cut what doesn’t.

Data from Foundation and Activation reveals which levers produce outsized returns. This is where the system rewards you — CAC drops as brand recognition rises, organic traffic compounds while paid efficiency improves, and conversion rates climb because every touchpoint reinforces the same message.

We landed a major client just three days after launch. They mentioned the new website as a key factor—and that single lead already delivered a 200% ROI on the whole website project. Amazing work team Magnet.

Pillar 04

Retention

Turn customers into repeat buyers and referral engines that lower CAC.

Acquisition is only half the equation. Each retained customer lowers your effective CAC, increases lifetime value, and generates the referrals that make your next dollar of acquisition cheaper. Lifecycle email, loyalty mechanics, churn reduction, and upsell systems close the loop.

The system is the strategy. When web, search, and GTM share one architecture, every dollar works harder than the last.

All work runs on a month-to-month retainer. We start with a diagnostic, then scope the retainer around your growth constraints. Work begins in Foundation (positioning, measurement, conversion architecture) and continues through Activation, Acceleration, and Retention as priorities shift.

A conversation. We’ll ask about your business, goals, and what has been tried before. If there is a fit, we scope a retainer that begins with Foundation.

Every retainer starts with Foundation: an audit of your current state, competitive landscape, and measurement infrastructure. That groundwork is what makes the campaigns that follow perform better, so we put it in place first.

Typically within 2 to 3 weeks of a signed agreement. Foundation begins immediately: an audit of your current state, competitive landscape, and measurement infrastructure.

No. Retainers are month-to-month.

Foundation is the first phase of FAAR (Foundation, Activation, Acceleration, Retention). It covers positioning, ICP, messaging architecture, conversion design, and measurement setup. It usually takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on scope. Web, search, and GTM all depend on this layer.

Yes. Web, search, and GTM are entry points into the same system, not separate products. Start where the constraint is: web if conversion is leaking, search if demand exists but you are invisible, GTM if positioning and offers are fuzzy. Most retainers eventually cover more than one.

A strategist replies within one business day — not an SDR reading a script. That reply schedules the intro call directly. No qualification queue, no gatekeeping.

Whoever owns the outcome we would be affecting — usually a CMO, VP of Marketing, or founder. You do not need legal, finance, or the full team on the intro call. That group matters more once we get to scope and proposal.

Say so on the call. The intro conversation and diagnostic still happen — there is no pressure to sign on the spot. We would rather wait for the right timing than start a retainer on the wrong footing.

We will tell you directly, usually by the end of the intro call or diagnostic. If the constraint is not something we solve well, or the team is not ready for the structural work Foundation requires, we say so — and point you elsewhere when we can.

Web work runs inside a retainer, so it stays connected to strategy and measurement rather than shipping in isolation. Foundation (conversion architecture, information architecture, measurement) typically takes 8 to 16 weeks. Design and build follow in Activation, with timing driven by scope.
