Engagement Models

Four ways to engage. One operating rule.

Whatever stage you enter at, market and brand are integrated from Day 1 — never bolted on after the build. Below is exactly how each engagement runs, what it includes, and what you are accountable for receiving.

Start a projectTake the GTM scorecard
01PRE-DEVELOPMENT

You have an idea, not a product yet.

Founders, corporate innovation teams, ventures pre-build.

We run Phase 0 before a line of production code: market interrogation, positioning, category read, and the distribution graph. Then we build the product against that evidence — with the brand and growth leads in the same room as the engineers.

  • Phase 0 discovery: market, category, competitive read
  • Positioning, naming and identity foundation
  • Product architecture, scope and build
  • Launch sequencing and Day-1 distribution plan

Outcome · A live product that ships with an audience already mapped.

02EXISTING PLATFORM

You have a product that isn't converting.

Teams post-launch with traffic but weak conversion or retention.

We diagnose across all three surfaces rather than blaming one. Usually the product is fine and the message is wrong — or the message is fine and the funnel leaks. We instrument, find the weakest link, and rebuild it.

  • Product, brand and funnel audit against a single scorecard
  • Conversion and retention re-engineering
  • Message and positioning correction
  • Measurement spine your finance team can read

Outcome · A measurable shift in conversion, retention or CAC within a quarter.

03GTM & DISTRIBUTION ONLY

The product is built. Nobody knows it exists.

Engineering-led teams with a strong build and no distribution muscle.

We take the product as given and own the route to market: channel architecture, performance and earned media, partnerships, and the launch calendar — with honest attribution rather than flattering dashboards.

  • Distribution graph and channel prioritisation
  • Performance, earned and experiential media
  • Launch calendar and content engine
  • Incrementality-honest reporting

Outcome · A repeatable acquisition engine, not a one-off campaign.

04BRAND CONSULTANCY

You need authority, not decoration.

Legacy institutions and challenger brands entering a new phase.

Identity architecture, narrative and reputation strategy — built as a system your in-house team can run. Restraint over noise, because earned authority converts better than manufactured volume.

  • Brand strategy and narrative architecture
  • Identity, design system and editorial framework
  • Reputation and stakeholder positioning
  • Internal enablement so the team can operate it

Outcome · A brand system that holds up under scrutiny and scales without us.

Proof

Judged on outcomes, not decks.

They arrived as a brand team and left having shipped the platform. The distribution plan was written before the first sprint — that is why the launch landed.

How engagements run

Predictable process. Accountable outcome.

  1. 01

    Fit call

    30 minutes. We establish scenario, scope and whether we're the right studio for the problem.

  2. 02

    Phase 0 discovery

    Market, brand and product interrogated together — never sequentially.

  3. 03

    Scope & commercials

    A written brief with the outcome, the gates and the commercial model.

  4. 04

    Build & distribute

    One integrated team, one cadence, quality gates at every phase.

  5. 05

    Measure & compound

    Reporting against the commercial outcome, not activity.

Not sure which model fits? Start with the diagnostic.

Twelve questions, a written read on which of the three surfaces is your weakest link, and an honest recommendation — including when there's nothing for us to do.
