We've seen your movie before

We see a pattern of problems affecting growth-stage companies. Fortunately, we enjoy solving them.

You've hit a ceiling

Customer acquisition costs are climbing. What worked at 2M isn't working at 10M. What worked at 10M isn't working at 50M.

You know what great looks like, and this isn't it

Something's off and you can feel it, see it, or both. You're not crazy.

You've got fresh capital. Now it needs to perform

Investors want efficient, predictable growth. You need to prove the math holds as you scale.

You're not sure what's actually working

Should you spend more, less, or differently? Without knowing true incremental impact, you're guessing.

The playbook worked. Now it's plateauing

Your current channels got you here, but they won't get you to the next milestone. Time to find what scales next.

Marketing and finance aren't speaking the same language

MER? ROAS? LTV:CAC? Contribution margin? Plenty of metrics. Still no agreement on what's actually working.

Where we operate

Paid channels where precision and experience determine whether you scale profitably, stay flat, or burn capital.

Fractional VP of Growth

Strategic leadership meets operational impact. The upside of an executive hire without the downside of a 6-month search and severance risk.

  • Growth strategy, assessment, forecasting, and roadmapping
  • Team and agency oversight, mentorship, and upskilling
  • Media mix planning, optimization, and budgeting
  • Board decks, investor updates, and growth reporting
  • Build the reporting, measurement, attribution, and experimentation systems you can actually trust

We serve B2B & B2C

We know, it's unusual, but it works. We've worked with companies from Seed to F50.

"They helped us scale Performance Max and catalog-driven campaigns while staying tightly aligned to our CAC, ROAS, and LTV goals. Responsive, knowledgeable, innovative—a true extension of our marketing team."
Nathan Jelovich Chief Marketing Officer, REBEL
"The most effective agency partnership we've experienced. They rebuilt and optimized our entire marketing stack, scaling Meta and Google from zero margin contribution to generating millions annually. Last month, new customer revenue increased 70% year over year. Partnering with Operator feels less like a vendor and more like a committed friend who wants to see your business succeed."
Jeremy Evans Founder, Hogg
"We significantly scaled paid search while improving CPA—it became one of our top 3 most efficient channels. Personalized service, consistent communication, always looking to test and optimize."
Katie Isles Head of Growth, The Farmer's Dog

How we work

A clear process that prioritizes outcomes over activity. We move quickly, but never carelessly.

01

Assess

We audit your current state and customer journey, scoring each area by operational excellence, and opportunity size.

02

Roadmap

We create a portfolio of prioritized actions ranked by impact, effort, and confidence.

03

Execute

We implement on time and to spec. We share our rationale and quantify impact.

04

Iterate

We dig into what worked, what didn't, and why. Then we sharpen and repeat.

FAQ

You know, the acronym.

What is your vision?

To provide the highest impact-per-hour growth service. Full stop.

Do you have account managers?

No. Account managers exist to insulate you from the people doing the work. We don't see the point.

What questions does Operator help me answer?

How should we invest our next $1M, $10M, $50M into growth?
What's required to reach our target revenue, ROAS, CAC, margin, or pipeline goal?
How much will it cost to reach our goal?
What is breaking in our funnel?
Is our agency making the right decisions?
What don't we know that we should know?
Do we have the right team in place to get to the next level?

Who will we actually work with?

Senior operators with ownership, experience, and history navigating the challenges you're facing.

How attentive and responsive are you?

Very. We're a small team by design, which means we're not juggling 40 clients. When something needs attention, we're on it. When you have a question, you get a clear answer, fast. No loose ends. No open threads.

What are your values?

Mindfulness > Autopilot
Outcomes > Activities
Agentic > Passive
Integrity > Optics
Clarity > Ambiguity
Read about each value here.

Do you produce creative?

No—some lanes exist for a reason, and we stay in ours. We will, however, provide best practices, concepts and briefs, insights and specs. We can also introduce you to competent designers and agencies.

What's your minimum contract length?

90 days, typically. Long enough for us to provide recommendations, implement them, and see their impact. Our average contract length is over 1.5 years.
