What does “free marketing department” actually mean?

It means we operate as your in-house-style growth team—strategy, creative, and media buying—without you hiring a full internal department. The engagement itself is paid, but you’re getting the equivalent of a CMO, growth lead, creatives, and media buyers for a fraction of the headcount cost.

What happens after I apply?

We review your answers internally within 2–3 business days. If there’s a strong fit, we’ll invite you to a working session where we pressure-test goals, map out a 90-day plan, and decide together if a “free marketing department” structure makes sense. If not, we’ll still send a short Loom or email with a few recommendations.

How selective are you?

We’re intentional about capacity. To protect results and attention, we only onboard a small number of new partners each month. The application helps us prioritize teams we can create real, measurable impact for over the next 6–12 months.
