Case study 01

Creative agency, London

From founder bottlenecked to 38% revenue growth in 90 days.

OperationsPeople & hiringMarketing strategy

Before

All delivery routed through the founder. Pitches were strong, ops were a mess. Team burning out, margin slipping quarter on quarter.

What we did

Operations rebuild, hiring plan for a delivery lead, sharper positioning around their best margin service line and a single weekly leadership cadence.

After

+38% revenue, founder hours down ~30%, delivery NPS up. Team can now run a project end to end without the founder in the room.

Case study 02

B2B consultancy, Manchester

Tripled inbound conversations without adding headcount.

Content strategyMarketing strategyLead generation

Before

Posting on LinkedIn occasionally, no content system, all pipeline coming through the founder's personal network. Pipeline visibility: zero.

What we did

Narrative, 4 content pillars, a weekly founder voice production flow, repurposing engine and a simple inbound qualification step.

After

Inbound discovery calls 3×. Sales cycle ~25% shorter because buyers arrive pre sold on the POV. Team owns the system without daily founder input.

Case study 03

Professional services firm, scale up

Replaced a 6 person marketing team with one senior fractional + AI.

Marketing strategyPeople & hiringOperations

Before

Marketing salary bill close to £450k/year. Output disconnected from pipeline. Founder couldn't tell what any team member did week to week.

What we did

The Lean Machine, marketing function audit, restructure, senior AI trained fractional placed, AI tool stack stood up, outplacement support for outgoing team.

After

~60% reduction in marketing burn. Pipeline contribution up. People who left landed in better fit roles within 60 days, supported throughout.
