We’re hard to hire and easy to talk to.
Reach out and you talk to a founder, not a sales rep. We read every message ourselves.
The first few conversations are there to find out whether we’re the right people for what you’re trying to do. If we are, we’ll say so. If we’re not, we’ll tell you that too. We only take you on when we’re sure we can make a real difference.
What we look for
- What the business actually sells, and to whom.
- What you have already tried.
- What success has to look like for the people you answer to.
- What is broken right now.
Came in with an RFP? We do not answer them blind. Here is how to get yours read →
How we get to know you
We get to know you before we say yes.
We take real time to understand your business before anyone talks price, so by the time you see a number, both of us already know the work fits.
-
Reach out
Send a note or fill out the form, whichever is easier. A founder reads it personally.
-
We respond
We get back to you and set up a short call. If we already know we are not the right fit, we point you to someone who is.
-
A 15-minute call
A brief introduction, no longer. Just enough for both of us to see whether this is worth more time.
-
A detailed video call
If both sides are interested, we set up a longer video call to get into the specifics of your situation.
-
The fit conversation
On that call, you find out how our services could fit your objectives. Like a doctor, we do not diagnose before we understand what is going on.
-
Recommendations and a price
We email you what we would do and what it would cost. If it works for you, we send an agreement.
-
Execute the agreement
Plain language, signed by both sides. Then the work starts.
Four ways to work with us
One project, or your whole marketing department.
Projects
Often the best way to start. One defined piece of work, like a brand story video, brand positioning, or a new website. You get a finished result and a real look at how we work, without signing on for anything ongoing.
Advertising and Media Buying
You can hire us just to handle your advertising. We create the campaigns and buy the space they run in, from search and social to streaming and billboards, negotiating the rates so more of your budget reaches the right people.
Monthly services
How most of our clients work. A founder-led team runs your marketing month to month, covering the functions you do not have in house. It works like a marketing department you never had to build or manage. From $7,500 a month.
Advisory
For a few leaders who already have a team and need a sharper call at the top. You get a founder beside you on strategy, with direct judgment on positioning and growth, early enough to matter. You make the decisions. You just stop making them alone.
Meet Advisory →Tell us what you’re working on. We’ll give you a straight answer.
Reach out and you’ll get a straight read on where your marketing stands and what it would take to get you where you’re going. You keep that clarity whether or not you hire us.
“SLAM Agency is a first class marketing agency that provides us with so much more than branding, video and design. They are literally an extension of our team.”
