Sometimes you don't need an agency. You need an hour.
Plenty of brands at a million a year have a capable team and a decent account. What they're short of is someone who has seen this exact problem forty times and will say which way to go.
This is that. You work directly with Amber, on your account, your numbers and your decision. No account manager, no deck.
You already have the team. You want the judgement.
You run the account in house and want it read by someone who does this every day
You're about to make a call that's expensive to get wrong
Your team is good and you want them better, faster than trial and error allows
You aren't ready for a retainer, and you'd rather be told that than sold one
Four ways to use the time.
Booked as a single session or as a standing slot. Most brands start with one and come back when the next decision lands.
The account review
One session, your ad account open, and an honest read on what's actually holding it back.
- Where the spend is going and what it's buying at a customer level, not a platform level.
- Which creative is carrying the account and how close it's to burning out.
- The structural things nobody tells you: testing that resets learning, audiences fighting each other, conversions counted twice.
- Written up afterwards, so it survives the call.
The strategy session
For a decision you're about to make and want argued with before you make it.
- A new market, a price change, a channel you're being sold on, a hire.
- We work it from your margin and your stock position rather than from what the category does.
- You get the case against it as well as the case for it. That's the part you're paying for.
Team training
For an in-house team that owns the channel and wants to be better at it.
- Meta creative strategy: angles, formats, testing that produces a readable result.
- Klaviyo: flows, segmentation, offer planning and the calendar that keeps a list earning.
- How we brief, score and iterate creative, taught as a process your team can keep running.
- Run as a workshop with your own account and your own products on the screen.
AI in a marketing team
Setting up the tools, the prompts and the guardrails, then teaching the team to run them.
- Where AI saves real hours, which is research depth, concept volume and production, and where it makes the work worse.
- The guardrails that matter: generated models are fine, but nothing a customer judges fit, fabric or colour on is generated.
- Installed in your stack, documented, and taught rather than handed over.
A session you can act on the next morning.
- A written summary of the session, so the thinking survives the hour
- The specific next moves, ordered, with the reason each one comes when it does
- Any frameworks we used, documented well enough for your team to keep using them
- A straight answer on anything you ask, including what we wouldn't do
What this isn't.
- Us running the account. We advise, your team executes. If you want it run, that's a retainer and we'll say so.
- Separate to the retainer. If you're on a growth retainer with us, a strategist is already embedded and these hours are already yours. This page is for brands who want the thinking without the retainer.
- An audit document you never read. It's a conversation with your account open, written up afterwards. The writing up is the record, not the product.
- A guaranteed outcome. Nobody can promise what a decision returns before it's been made. What you get is better odds and the reasoning behind them.
- Cheap. It's an hour of the person who would otherwise be running your account. Priced per situation and discussed before anything is booked.
Tell us what you're stuck on.
One email with the situation in it. We'll come back with whether a session would actually help, which format fits, and what it would cost. If the answer is that you don't need one, we'll say that instead.
Hours with someone who has done it.
The consulting is the same judgement that runs the retainers, sold by the hour instead of embedded.
Ads that carried real spend.
