Turn your project-based agency into a retainer business in 90 days
Watch the breakdown first. Captions on.
Done with you, inside your actual offer, proposal and pipeline.

Read this before you apply
This is for you if
- You run a creative agency with one to five people, including contractors, and you still sell, scope and produce.
- You are doing $10k to $40k a month and most of it is project work, quoted from scratch, discounted to close.
- Most new business is referrals. When a top client pauses, the month goes with them.
- You have bought a course before and did not finish it, because nobody was in the work with you.
- You are the bottleneck and you know it.
Not for you if
- You have not sold a project yet. Start with the playbook.
- You want a course, a community or a recording. This is calls, in your business, every week.
- You are above $60k a month. Your problems are leadership and account management, and other advisors serve that band well.
- You resell software, or your agency is insurance, travel, staffing or home care.
Your revenue chart looks like a heart monitor
A good month, then an empty calendar. It is not a talent problem. Every job is priced by the hour or quoted fresh, so the client keeps every efficiency you find. And there is no pipeline, so the phone only rings when someone you filmed for tells someone else.
Fix the price and the pipeline together and the chart flattens. That is the whole rebuild.
Four pillars, ninety days
- [01]
Offer and pricing
A productised core offer with three tiers, priced on the outcome, and a rate card you stop apologising for. Upsell and downsell paths for the clients you already have.
- [02]
Proposal and follow-up
One template, one stepping-stone first offer clients say yes to in fifteen minutes, and a follow-up sequence in the tools you already use.
- [03]
Pipeline
A niche list, one channel, a referral routine, a simple CRM and a ninety-minute weekly ritual that brings conversations in regardless of what any one client does.
- [04]
Capacity
Delivery handoffs and AI workflows that take you out of the deliverables, a training and sleep routine you hold for twelve weeks, and the beliefs about money that have been running the business on their own.
Two one-to-one calls to open: a diagnosis, then your roadmap. Then two group calls a week: a round table with peers and guest experts, and live problem-solving. A resource library your roadmap points into. Weekly progress tracking.
[GRADUATION]A seat at a four-day in-person immersion with the other members. The room is part of the offer, not an upsell.
[PRICE]$4,500
Paid in full, or three payments of $1,750. This is the founding price, and it says so on the invoice.
What you leave the call with
A written teardown of your pricing and pipeline, within 24 hours, whether or not you buy.
Thirty minutes. We ask to see your last three proposals, your calendar and how you bill. We tell you where the money is leaking and what we would fix first. Then we decide together whether the rebuild is the right next step. It is a diagnosis, not a pitch.
Still in the work
Two operators who run creative businesses now. Corey sold quarter-million-dollar creative projects to high-level clients and ran the video company that delivered them. Joshua runs Made By Compound, a photography and film studio in Leeds, and has mentored creative founders for several years.
Both have been the creative, the agency owner and the consultant. Both went through an expensive mastermind with in-person retreats and know what a room does for an owner who has been building alone. Everything installed in the rebuild was used in their own businesses this quarter.
The founding cohort is our proof
We are new. We will not put a wall of numbers here until they are real, permissioned and typical. What we can show you today is the teardown you leave the call with, the guarantee in writing, and the founders' own price sheets and pipeline from this quarter.
Member results appear here only with written permission and a note on what is typical. Nothing on this page is a promise about your income.
Let's see if this is a fit
Nine short questions. Under 90 seconds. If you are under $10k a month we will point you to the playbook instead, and we will say so plainly.
[NO PAYMENT DETAILS ARE ASKED FOR]
What does it cost?
$4,500 paid in full, or three payments of $1,750. This is the founding price and it says so on the invoice. It goes up after the first cohort's results are documented.
How much time does it take?
Two calls a week, about ninety minutes together. The pipeline routine is ninety minutes a week once it is built. Most of the rest is decisions, not deliverables. Quoting five custom proposals takes longer than this.
I've bought courses before.
So have we. This is not a course. Two calls a week, a roadmap built for your agency, and a room you sit in. If you want a recording, wait for the playbook.
My clients can't pay retainers.
Some can't. The boring ones down the road can, and they pay on time. We start with the three clients in your list who already behave like retainer clients.
Do you still run an agency?
Yes, both of us, this month.
