Last Agency

a client trained their in-house team using our playbook.

then they stopped paying us.

we sent them a thank-you note.

your last agency. we mean that literally.

We build the function. Run it for twelve to eighteen months.

Train your in-house hire. Hand over the playbook.

Then we leave. The exit is the product.

what we do

four things. in order. then we go.

A fixed-term engagement: twelve to eighteen months, one scope, no auto-renew. Each phase has its own job. The last one is to make ours redundant.

  • 01months 0–3

    The Build

    Three months. Fixed scope. We set up paid, lifecycle, brand — whichever lever was bleeding. New account structure, a real LTV model, a creative brief template anyone can read. The in-house seat gets hired in week six so the function and the person arrive at the same time.

  • 02months 3–12

    The Run

    Nine months operating what we built. Weekly numbers, monthly board doc, no decks. Every decision gets written down the day it happens — by month eight the playbook is half-finished without anyone calling it a playbook.

  • 03months 12–15

    The Handoff

    Three months training the in-house hire. They run the Friday review. We sit at the back and say nothing. The transfer is account access, dashboards, vendor relationships, the written playbook — usually 40 pages and a Loom per chapter.

  • 04month 15+

    The Exit

    One month to close out. You own the data, the accounts, the playbook. We stay reachable for thirty days. After that, the Slack channel goes quiet — most of them never message back. That is the result.

the work

the work. fourteen exits. still running.

Each card shows the brand, the work, and the months they've been running standalone since the handoff date.

retainers are a tax on indecision.

Most agencies bill forever. We bill for fourteen months. The math works because we build the function, train your hire, hand over the playbook, and leave. The exit is the product.

Three more brands we built, ran, and walked away from. Each one still running on the playbook we left behind.

what founders said on the way out

what founders said on the way out.

  • “They quoted fourteen months. They left in fourteen months. The first agency I've hired that respected its own deadline.”

    Aanya MehrotraFounder & CEO, Helio Coffee

  • “Cost per enrolled student went from ninety-four dollars to thirty-seven. Then they trained my coordinator and went home.”

    Marcus TildenFounder & CEO, Tilden Learn

  • “Six months in, my CTO asked when the agency call was. I told him there wasn't one anymore. Our hire ran it.”

    Ravi KrishnanCo-founder, Forge & Foil

  • “Most agencies pitch their value. These ones pitched their last invoice. I signed that afternoon.”

    Naomi OkaforFounder, Petra Skincare

  • “I asked when the contract auto-renewed. Aman laughed. There's no auto-renew. Fourteen months and done.”

    Anika BhattacharyaFounder & Creative Director, Saanjh Studio

  • “They built it, ran it, taught Priya to run it, then left. The weirdest goodbye email I've ever received.”

    Theo LindqvistCo-founder & CEO, Nordhaus Bikes

time's a finite resource. so are we.

Twelve to eighteen months. We build, we run, we hand over the playbook, we leave. If something's bleeding right now, write to us — Aman or Priya replies within one business day.
