Cleveland · since 2004 ● Senior-operator marketing ● Taking 2 clients · Q4 2026

We build the whole engine. Not the pieces.

One senior operator, one AI stack, one accountable team. We ship sites, mission controls, SEO, email, paid media, and content at the speed a 15-person agency can't match.

01 / Services

Six engines, one operator running them.

Every service is productized. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, senior on the file from day one. Pick the engines you need, or hand us all six and we quarterback.

01 / Fractional CMO

CMO + mission control

Senior marketing seat plus a live dashboard your team opens every morning. The dashboard knows what's working. The CMO decides what moves next.

  • Weekly strategy call
  • Live mission control
  • Vendor and team management
  • Board-ready monthly report
02 / Shopify + E-commerce

Store built to sell

Theme, product data, variants, cart funnel, checkout, upsells. We build the store buyers can't walk away from, and the back-office that keeps it clean.

  • Theme build or rebuild
  • Variant + SKU hygiene at scale
  • Cart + upsell funnel
  • Review and warranty flow
03 / SEO + Content

Pages that rank

Technical audit, opportunity map, blog fleet, schema, internal link graph. Written and shipped. Approvals in the mission control, not in Google Docs.

  • Site + content audit
  • 50 to 200 blog fleet
  • Technical SEO + schema
  • Monthly ranking + traffic report
04 / Email + SMS

Klaviyo that pays

Flows, segments, campaigns, deliverability. Reviews never repeat. Headlines never orphan. Every send gated by a brief before copy touches the editor.

  • Welcome, abandon, winback flows
  • Weekly campaign engine
  • List hygiene + deliverability
  • Attribution to the dashboard
05 / Paid Media

Meta, Google, TikTok

Creative testing, audience structure, bid strategy, cross-channel attribution. We run with your spend, not around it. Weekly change log, no dark decisions.

  • Account structure + rebuild
  • Creative testing matrix
  • Attribution across channels
  • Daily watchdog + ROAS gate
06 / AI Agent Install

Your operations team

A set of named agents owning specific functions: SEO, email, ads, CX, reporting. They run the loop, you run the business. Standup every morning, decisions in Slack.

  • C-suite + director agent stack
  • Daily digest + evening report
  • Hard-coded guardrails + QA
  • Hand-off kit when you want in
02 / Process

Five phases. No surprises.

The same cadence we run for a wall-art brand, a boat-cleaning solo op, and an EdTech founder. The pace shifts, the shape doesn't.

Phase 1

Scope.

30-minute call. You describe the outcome. We come back with a fixed quote in 48 hours.

Day 1 to 2
Phase 2

Build.

Site, mission control, agent stack, flows. We go live while you keep running the business.

Day 3 to 14
Phase 3

Launch.

Two personas, 2 to 3 hooks, every channel we agreed on. Spend starts at a controlled rate.

Day 15 to 21
Phase 4

Scale.

Weekly cycle: review the dashboard, kill losers, double winners. No decisions off-dashboard.

Week 4+
Phase 5

Report.

Monthly ROI report, auto-built from your analytics. Decisions ledger. Nothing hidden.

Every month 1st
03 / Work

Live engines, live revenue.

04 / The stack

One senior. One AI team. One set of hands.

The agency industry sells partners who disappear and juniors who take over. We flipped it. The senior stays. The agents do the volume.

The 60-second pitch.
