New business
We take on about six new clients a year.
Fourteen people can do excellent work for a short list or average work for a long one. We picked the short list. This page is how you get on it.
The short list
We want the right work. Not all of it.
Every project this year started with a client who had one number to move and a date to move it by. A pass to sell out by spring. A ballpark to fill by opening night. An app to get into members' hands in a quarter. Two brands to build from nothing in a year.
That's the work we're best at, and it's the work we want more of. If you have a number like that, we'd like to hear about it.
If you need someone to post three times a week and not ask questions, there are good agencies for that. We'll even recommend one.
Where we fit
✓We're probably right for you if
- You can name the number and the date.
- You'll let us talk to your customers, and your front line.
- You want to hear when something isn't working.
- You'd rather have one good idea than six fine ones.
×We're probably not if
- You need it to look busy more than you need it to work.
- The brief changes every Monday.
- You're looking for the lowest bid. We won't be it.
What happens when you call
Three steps. None of them is a 40-page RFP.
- 01
A thirty-minute call.
You tell us the number. We ask too many questions about it.
- 02
An answer in a week.
Yes, no, or "not us, try them." A no comes with a reason.
- 03
A written plan with a price.
One document, one number at the bottom, two weeks after the call. No spec work. We don't do it, and you shouldn't want it.
What it costs
Since you were going to ask.
Projects start around $40,000. Retainers start around $15,000 a month. Most clients start with a project and stay on a retainer. Some don't, and that's fine.
Start a project
Send us three things.
- The number you need to move.
- The date you need it moved by.
- Your budget. A rough one is fine. "We don't know" is not.
Weekdays, 8:30 to 5:30 Mountain. We answer the phone ourselves.

Your last campaign is somebody's first impression of you.
Make sure it's this year's.
