Cut half the services. Profit nearly tripled.

The problem

The agency offered branding, websites, ads, SEO, social media, and strategy. Every client engagement looked different, and the team was constantly overloaded.

Lena thought the answer was hiring more people.

The real bottleneck

The issue wasn’t capacity. It was positioning.

The agency had become known for “doing everything,” which made premium pricing almost impossible.

Not a hiring problem. A specialization problem.

"Growth accelerated once the agency stopped trying to do everything."

What we changed

• Narrowed positioning to brand strategy and premium websites only
• Removed five low-margin services
• Increased minimum engagement size from $8K to $25K
• Built a repeatable delivery process across all projects
• Simplified proposals into one standardized offer

The outcome

Revenue grew from $980K to $2.8M in eight months while profit margins nearly tripled.

The team became smaller, faster, and significantly more profitable.
