Bring agency work in-house without losing ground.
Your accounts, your data and your playbooks, with systems a lean team can run, and a clear view of what to keep outside.
| Line | Monthly | Proof |
|---|---|---|
| Meta prospecting | $38,000 | Pays back |
| Creator fees | $9,000 | Probably helps |
| Agency retainer | $15,000 | Nobody can say |
| Overlapping reporting tools | $4,000 | Nobody can say |
Every line of growth spend, sorted by whether anyone can prove it works.
Sound familiar?
- The agency owns the ad accounts, the reports and the know-how.
- A monthly retainer pays for work the platforms now automate.
- Nobody inside could run it if the agency left tomorrow.
If the know-how lives outside, you pay to keep it there, and you start over every time you switch.

Questions teams ask.
Do we have to fire our agency?
No. Many brands keep a specialist for creative or a channel. What matters is that the accounts, data and playbooks are yours.
Will performance dip during the move?
Moving accounts the right way keeps their history and learning. We plan the move around your calendar, never in peak season.
Who owns it once it’s running?
You do. It’s built in your accounts, documented, with training for the people who run it. Ownership usually sits with your founder, COO or head of growth. We can keep running it with you, or step back.
How do we start?
Usually with a growth engine review: two to four weeks, a fixed fee credited to the build, and a plan that’s yours. If the job is already clear, we can scope the build directly.
