Both plans include
  • Planning: what to do first, and why
  • Brand & design: finished pieces, ready to use
  • AI: workflows live, your team trained

Pause or stop anytime. Third-party software, APIs, advertising and printing are billed separately; unusually large builds are assessed on the call.

What we do for you

Plan it. Build it.Put AI to work.

What a good manager would do inside your company — from deciding what matters to making sure it gets used.

01 / 03

Plan what matters first.

We learn your business, decide what to fix first and set the month’s main thread — positioning, a launch, a workflow. You always know what’s being worked on, and why.

02 / 03

Build the brand around it.

Website pages, proposal documents, marketing materials, content templates — finished pieces, ready to go out the day they land.

03 / 03

Put AI to work.Teach the team.

One AI workflow a month, aimed at the task that eats the most time and installed in your own accounts. Then we practice it with your team on real work and leave a one-page playbook.

The same on both plans. Each month ends with a review together — and next month’s main thread.

How it works

One main thread a month, finished properly.

Around the thread, everyday design requests and questions flow in anytime. Finish one, start the next. Here’s what month one looks like —

01

Diagnose & plan

Week 1: understand your business, customers and team. Set this month’s thread.

02

Thread goes live

Weeks 2–3: the thread is finished and delivered — say, your first AI workflow actually running.

03

Train on real work

Week 4: hands-on training with your real tasks, playbook left behind.

04

Review & set next

Month’s end: look at results together and pick next month’s thread.

Questions

Frequently asked.

01What’s the difference between the two plans?
Time. Standard is about 20 hours of our time a month — half a day a week — with a check-in every two weeks. It takes six new clients a month and is currently full, so you’d join the waitlist. Priority is about 32 hours a month — a full day a week — with a check-in every week, and starts this month. The kind of work is the same on both.
02How much actually gets done in a month?
One main thread finished properly, with everyday requests alongside. A thread is one complete thing: a workflow live, a set of materials done, a website page shipped. On Priority, the extra hours go into the same thread and more of the everyday requests. One finished thing beats three half-done ones.
03What if our goal is big?
We split it into monthly threads, each with a complete deliverable. Brand positioning through to a new website is typically three to four threads — you get something usable every month instead of waiting on one big handover.
04Can we do just one month?
Yes. Month one is complete on its own: diagnosis, one thread live, training. One month is enough to know if it fits.
05How do we pause or stop?
Just say so — it takes effect monthly. Workflows and files live in your own accounts, so everything keeps working after we step away.
06Who does the work?
Andy delivers personally with a nine-year studio behind him — nothing is outsourced. It’s also why the schedule is limited.
07Who pays for the AI tools?
ChatGPT, Claude and the like are installed in your own accounts (roughly US$20–200 a month), paid directly to the platforms. We never resell or mark them up.
