Professional services · Agency onboarding

New clients onboarded before the kickoff call.

Your account managers still own the client relationship. We handle the setup grind so they walk into the kickoff already set up.

Stage 01 Signed SOW received

A signed SOW lands in your system.

Pulled from your contract platform the moment it is countersigned. No inbox watching, no manual handoff to the AM team.

The SOW becomes structured scope.

Module 02 of 5 · The hard one
Stage 03 Tool stack provisioning

Sixteen third-party APIs, provisioned per client.

Each new client needs their own scoped access to analytics, ad platforms, CRM, email, project board, time tracking, reporting, and storage. Some flows complete unattended. Others sit on a client admin's approval. The system handles every step it can, and parks the rest in a single inbox the AM owns.

Per-client OAuth across 16 external APIs is half the build. We do it once, then your team doesn't think about it again.

Moving to brand capture →
Stage 04 Brand voice + asset library captured

Brand and voice, ingested and codified.

Existing site, social, past campaigns, brand guidelines if they exist. The system reads what they have and packages it into a working brand kit your creatives can use day one.

Client #CL-4821 · brand kit

Tone, voice, visual, copy library

94 Capture confidence
Tone descriptors extracted from 38 pages of existing site copy
Voice samples pulled from 6 months of social and email
Brand guidelines PDF parsed for type, color, logo rules
Asset library uploaded to shared drive, tagged by use case
Do-not-say list and competitor mentions flagged for AM review
Brand kit delivered as a one-page card and a structured JSON the creative team can prompt against.
Stage 05 Project plan auto-drafted

A 30/60/90 plan, drafted in the AM's voice.

This is the judgment layer. The system replicates the setup playbook your best AMs already use, so a draft plan exists before the kickoff call instead of after it.

First 30 Baseline + foundations
  • Review existing GA4, ad accounts, and CRM data hygiene
  • Lock baseline metrics: CAC, ROAS, MQL volume, CPL by channel

  • Launch first lifecycle email sequence (welcome + re-engagement)
Days 31-60 Test + scale
  • Roll out 8 more SEO posts targeting mapped keyword clusters
  • Stand up Meta Ads with 2 creative concepts in test
  • Add lifecycle nurture flow for nurture-stage contacts

  • Lifecycle: launch post-purchase and win-back sequences
  • Quarterly business review prep with full attribution view
  • Plan next-quarter scope adjustments with client
Stage 06 Kickoff brief delivered to AM

A one-page brief, sitting in the AM's inbox.

Everything the assigned account manager needs to walk in confident. Client context, what's already done, what's pending, what to say in the first 10 minutes.

  • Lock the cadence for weekly check-ins and monthly reporting
Stage 07 AM walks into kickoff fully set up

The AM walks in to run the relationship.

The setup grind that used to eat the first two weeks is already done. The AM spends the kickoff doing what AMs are actually good at: building the relationship and aligning on outcomes.

The AM owns the relationship from minute one. The system owns the setup.

Outcome Same team. Faster start.

Same AMs. The kickoff grind disappears.

Account managers still own clients. They just stop spending the first two weeks of every retainer building accounts and copying brand guidelines into a doc.
