What This Looks Like

Weekly strategy calls

Prioritize, unblock, and build momentum every week with your leadership team.

Unlimited 1:1 support

Slack, video calls, or email. Your team gets direct access to a strategist, not a ticketing system.

6 hours of execution per week

Not just strategy. Messaging, content, and offer reviews that actually ship.

Who This Is For

The Accelerator is built for agencies that have outgrown referral-only growth.

Growth still hinges on word of mouth and waiting for the next referral.
You have happy clients, a strong reputation, and good work. But pipeline is inconsistent and reactive. You need a system, not more hustle.
You've tried marketing, but nothing has stuck.
Content, SEO, LinkedIn, maybe a freelancer or agency. None of it felt like you, and none of it built lasting momentum. You need a partner, not another vendor.
You're ready to invest in growth, but not ready to hire a VP of Marketing.
A full-time marketing leader costs $180K+. You need the strategic thinking and execution at a fraction of that, with someone who already knows the agency world.

Best fit for 10+ person dev agencies with strong delivery teams who need a strategic growth partner, not more tactics.

The Process

How It Works

Pre-Kick
Discovery & Audit
We start by getting a clear picture of your strengths, positioning, and pipeline gaps. We'll audit what you're already doing and uncover what's missing before we build anything new.
Month 1
Positioning Strategy & Early Experiments
We co-create your positioning strategy, messaging, and early experiments. You'll walk away with a battle-tested plan, not just slides or buzzwords.
Ongoing
Tackle the Next Biggest Constraint
Every month, we focus on what matters most: content, partnerships, outbound, service design, team training, whatever the biggest growth lever is. We build a system, not just tactics, and we improve it over time together.
Client Results

What Accelerator Clients Say

Working with David has been a total game-changer for our agency. When we first met, we were trying to refine our positioning, and his process helped us land on something that really works for us. Now, our agency is much better defined, moving from a referral-based pipeline to a niche audience.
Mark Goren
President, 10/20 Marketing
David is the helping hand that I didn't know I needed for my digital agency. In the short time we have been working together, our positioning and market strategy has strengthened and clarified. His approach is detail-oriented and personalized. He 'gets' what we do and why we do it, dispensing succinct, actionable advice tailored to our needs.

Common Questions

How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?

A marketing agency gives you deliverables. I give you a growth strategy that's wired into how your agency actually operates. I'm not managing your social media or running ads. I'm working shoulder-to-shoulder with your leadership team on positioning, pipeline, and the systems that make growth repeatable.

Why should I work with you specifically?

12+ years in agency marketing and demand generation. I've coached and advised dozens of agencies. I've built strategies that actually get implemented, not just admired. I'm not a generalist or a theory guy. I roll up my sleeves. And my only agenda is your growth. I don't take a cut of anything else.

What does the 6-month minimum look like in practice?

Month 1 is positioning and strategy. Months 2-3 are building the engine: content, outreach, partnerships, whatever the biggest lever is. Months 4-6 are about compounding and refining. Growth systems take time to build correctly. The 6-month commitment ensures we have enough runway to build something real, not just run experiments.

What if we already did the Why Us Sprint?

Even better. The sprint gives you the foundation: your positioning, ICP, and 90-day plan. The Accelerator is where we execute that plan, expand on it, and build the growth engine around it. Sprint clients often move into the Accelerator because they've seen what clarity does and they want to keep the momentum going.

What does "6 hours of execution per week" actually mean?

It means I'm not just advising. I'm doing the work alongside you: reviewing and rewriting messaging, giving feedback on content drafts, building outreach sequences, reviewing your sales deck, auditing vendor proposals. The strategy calls set the direction. The execution hours make sure it actually ships.
