Edition No. 01
FOR AGENCY FOUNDERS
Clear minds in your corner,
not over your shoulder
Two senior leaders — one for messaging, one for design. We help you win the work, guide the work & lift how your team delivers it — without a full-time hire.
Todd Clarke & Satyen Aghor
Collaborators for 15+ years. Now partners.
If you run an agency or software shop, you’ve probably been here:
You've lost a pitch to competitors worse than you
You keep reinventing things you shouldn’t have to
The pipeline 3 months out is always a question mark
You didn’t sign up to be the bottleneck
It starts small, a pitch that needs your eyes. Then every decision runs through you and the work still comes back late.
Good clients drift to sharper competitors while your prices stay stuck.
You built an agency, but somewhere it became a job that only works when you're in the room.
Tired of carrying too much yourself?
THE GOOD NEWS
Imagine running the place, not rescuing it
Growth
Win bigger clients without carrying it all yourself
Freedom
Stop being the bottleneck on every project
Worth
Charge more for the work you already do
Leadership
A team that can lead, not just take orders
Time
More time to run the business, not babysit projects
Traction
Grow the clients you already have
“I found Todd on the web and liked what I saw & read. I liked him even more when we talked, when I hired him, when we worked together, and certainly for — what I got. A great experience with a great story to tell, with a look-&-feel that's even better than I imagined. Nice work, Todd & Satyen — very nice.”

ABOUT US
For so many projects, agencies start over
Pitch, proposal, discovery, voice, copy, wireframe, design, build. Every time like they've never done it before.
It feels like chaos. Because it is.
Projects drag. Not because the work is hard, but because there's no system underneath it. Every project reinvents one.
That's a choice. A bad one.
Great agencies shouldn’t wing it every time. They should run a somewhat-rigid process. On purpose. So the client can't drag them off course. Many never learn this. They just call the chaos "being flexible.”
That's what we bring.
Not more hands. Senior guidance and a process your team can keep. Your team runs it, your clients feel it, and everyone finally knows what happens next. All while we lead the way, for now. So your people can take it over.
Faster. Sharper. Fewer misfires.
And way more room for the creative work — the work you actually got hired for.

The Agency Project Spine
The one-page backbone every project should run on. Plug in the client. Skip the chaos.
“I want my agency to be bigger than me.”
Exactly. Two guides at your side, a team that leads, and an agency that keeps moving when you step out of the room. Tell us where you're stuck.
Most agencies separate messaging & design — weakening both pitches & delivery. We add two senior leaders who tie the story together while guiding the team. So the agency pitches better, wins bigger, charges more — and runs without the founder in every room.
