For growth teams

Put agents to work.Give your team time to test.

I work with you and your team to put agents to work on your own growth work, with people briefing, reviewing and deciding. Growth teams working this way can test more ideas per person, making it harder to compete with them on pace.

Your team’s time

You need to grow the business, but much of your team’s time goes on the work around each test: research, drafts, campaign assets and weekly reports. That isn’t their fault. They haven’t yet seen agents do that work while people keep the decisions.

But a growth team that puts agents to work every day can test more ideas per person and learn which ones work. That changes how much it can try and how quickly it can act. The pressure reaches across SEO, content, campaigns, lifecycle email and reporting, so waiting gives competitors the chance to find those gains first.

That’s why I work alongside you and your team on your own jobs. My agents build products, research and handle SEO, marketing, sales and support every day, keeping me involved in decisions about revenue, customers and growth. I do this myself, so we work through the briefs, reviews and decisions your growth team needs to operate this way. A tool on its own won’t do that.

Where agents fit

Where your team’s hours can go further

  1. 01

    Pages and tests

    Agents research, draft and build pages and tests. Your team decides the brief, checks the work and approves what runs.

  2. 02

    Growth reporting

    Agents pull the figures and draft reports. You check the findings and decide what to change and what to tell the CEO.

  3. 03

    Campaigns and email

    Agents prepare campaigns and lifecycle emails. Your team decides the audience, checks the work and approves what goes out.

  4. 04

    Customer questions

    Agents prepare answers and onboarding guidance. Your team decides what is ready and which questions need a conversation.

Common questions

Anything else, ask on the call.

  • If you answer to a CEO or board for growth, we start with the numbers you need to improve and the work behind them. Bring your targets to the free 30-minute call so we can agree where agents could help.

  • No. The work starts with knowing the job well enough to brief an agent and judge what comes back. I handle any code we need, so your team can concentrate on the briefs and the reviews.

  • We start with the tools your team already uses and the work you need done. From there, we decide where agents fit and what needs to change. I’m helping you establish a way of working, so the tools follow the job.

  • Their work changes: less time producing every asset or report by hand, more time briefing, reviewing and deciding what to test. If fewer hours are needed, you’ll need to decide what that means for capacity and roles. I won’t pretend that decision disappears; it’s part of the conversation with your team.

  • Learn is a day using your own business. Build is ten business days for one agreed outcome, with the scope agreed in writing. How quickly that changes your team’s output or growth numbers depends on the job and how your team adopts the work. We can discuss a useful first outcome on the free 30-minute call.
