What You Get for a €5,000 Retainer Today – And Why It’s a Joke.
The reality check for anyone still paying agencies: No ownership. No results.
Agencies deliver slides. We deliver revenue.
“We’re paying €60,000 a year for an agency — and still end up building the funnel ourselves.”
In times when startups die faster than they scale, efficiency isn’t optional it’s mandatory. Yet brands still pour thousands into agency retainers every month often left with little more than a PDF and a pleasant Zoom call.

The Great Agency Paradox
Agencies promise teams, services, and scalable solutions. But what do you actually get?
• A junior account manager as your main contact.
• A creative juggling ten brands at once.
• A reporting template with red and green bars.
• And a strategist you’ll never meet in person.
In return? €5,000 in monthly retainer fees. Plus setup costs. Plus media budget. Plus “change request” surcharges.
And what do you get back?
Usually no revenue responsibility. No skin in the game. No infrastructure that truly scales.
What you actually need:
“I don’t want another strategy deck. I want revenue, clarity, and a system that runs without me.”
The solution isn’t more agencies it’s a new model: CMO‒as‒a‒Service.
What an Operator brings to the table that agencies simply can’t:
• Execution over Excel: Funnels, creatives, ads, and CRM all from one source, with true ownership.
• Real integration: No endless briefings. The Operator is in your Slack, thinks like a partner, and runs your team.
• Data‒driven control: Powered by tools like Triple Whale, GA4, Meta & Google attribution, email flows & retention systems.
• No flat fee only upside: The Operator gets paid when you grow. Not before.
€5,000 can be incredibly valuable if you’re actually buying results
The truth is: For what you pay an agency each month, you could activate a full-funnel growth team that actually drives your brand — from first touchpoint to retention.
Not optimized for presentations. Optimized for revenue.
Conclusion
Agencies had their time — but in a market that demands speed, clarity, and performance, they’ve become too slow. What’s coming isn’t another agency.
It’s a new standard: CMO-as-a-Service.
CMO as a Service
Your marketing finally done right.
Just imagine:
The best expert in the game joins your Slack, builds your marketing team, sets up the entire strategy and makes it run so smoothly that it doesn’t even need him anymore.
He fixes what’s broken, fills the gaps, scales what works and if you want, he even hires or trains your in‒house CMO to take over.
Not as a consultant. But as a builder. A real operator.
This offer isn’t for everyone but it’s built for these:
A Real Marketing Lead
Someone who actually thinks for you — not just follows orders.
You get someone who owns your strategy, finds your weak spots and makes a plan that works.
A Team That Delivers
We build your team or use yours — and finally get things done: ads, landing pages, emails, content, whatever you need to grow.
Everything Set Up Right
No more messy tools or guessing. We install tracking, dashboards, creative systems — so you actually know what’s working.
An Exit Plan (For Us)
Once everything runs, we step back. If needed, we train your future CMO or help you hire someone — so you never depend on us.
OUR VALUE STACK
The infrastructure behind everything we scale.
Unforgettable Brands
We don’t do logos. We design market leadership. From name to narrative — your positioning becomes so sharp, there’s no competition left.
Presence That Sells
PR with a plan. Social proof by design. You show up in the right places — and exactly how you want to be perceived.
Organic Growth, Engineered
Reach without ad spend? Yes — but on steroids. Content loops, creator networks, visibility systems — all compounding, all trackable.
Performance That Scales
Paid media done right. Funnels, ads, dashboards — every euro tracked, every test with a purpose. No guesswork. Just growth.
Offers That Convert
We craft products people want to buy. Price psychology, bundles, retention flows — smart monetization is engineered, not improvised.
Growth Without Chaos
We install the OS behind your business. Tracking, automation, control — so it runs without you. And never breaks as it grows.
