Agencies are sold technology far more often than they get advised on it and very few have someone on their side. That's where we come in.

What we do

Technology leadership

Many agencies need a technology lead in the room rather than a full-time CTO. We take that seat and can own the roadmap, manage vendors, hiring and review developers and give you an honest answer when you need it.

  • Leadership
  • Roadmap
  • Hiring

Platform selection

CDPs, DSPs, reporting tools, project management and finance systems. We put together the shortlist, run the RFP, sit through the demos on your behalf, read the contract properly and stay involved until the platform is live and actually being used. We've bought, run and replaced most of them over the years, and offer a truly independent voice and perspective.

  • Martech
  • Contracts
  • Software

Bespoke development

Reporting pipelines, client dashboards, integrations between platforms and the internal tools that finally retire the spreadsheet. We build it, document it and hand it over so that your team owns it.

  • Integrations
  • Dashboards
  • Data
  • Custom Solutions

AI in the agency

In our experience, most agency AI work is a workflow problem rather than a model problem. We find the jobs where it saves real hours and build them properly - ensuring proper oversight and process with a human in the loop and the governance your clients will expect.

Who we work with

Media and advertising agencies

Software, ad ops, measurement and data. We bring scrutiny and we sit at the table when the platform decisions are being made to give you trusted insight.

Marketing, digital and creative agencies

If you're productising a service, building something for a client or trying to get AI into the day-to-day, someone needs to own it. That's what we can help with.

Brands and in-house teams

On occasion we work with advertisers directly on platform selection, measurement or AI.

How we work

  1. Discovery

    We spend time with your leadership and delivery teams and go through your platforms, code and data. At the end you get a plain-English outline of what's costing you money and a prioritised list of what to do about it. Many agencies take that list and run with it.

  2. Monthly

    A set number of days per month, spent on whatever needs doing: leadership meetings, vendor calls, architecture decisions, code review and a good amount of hands-on building.

  3. Projects

    A platform selection, a migration, a reporting build, or an AI pilot taken through to production. We agree the scope up front and we hand over properly at the end so your team can manage it beyond.

FAQ

How much does it cost?

Discovery is often a fixed fee, monthly engagements are priced per day and projects are quoted against a written scope. Whatever way you prefer to work, we're confident we can find a way to work together.

Are you independent?

Completely. We have no reseller agreements or referral arrangements with any platform, so the only person paying for our advice is you. It also means we're free to tell you what to avoid!

Where are you based?

We're based in London and work with agencies and companies in the UK, the USA, Australia and New Zealand - and occasionally further afield. We're happy to be in the room for UK clients when it matters and can work flexibly so time difference rarely gets in the way.

Do you actually write code?

Yes. We have an development background before we ran technology in agencies and we still build somewhat often. On larger projects we bring in developers we've worked with before and manage them ourselves.

What don't you do?

We don't plan or buy media, and we're not a development shop you send tasks to. If you need either of those, we know good people and we're happy to make the introduction!
