Team augmentation
A full network, assembled for the expedition you're on.
When you partner with us, you gain access to a deep bench of people. As your needs spike in one area, we bring in the right skills for that stretch of the journey, and your budget follows the work.
The idea
You are not paying for the same retainer team every month.
Needs change across a brand's year. A launch calls for film and campaign talent, a rebrand calls for strategy and design, a sales push calls for data and CRM. A fixed team can't flex that far, so we built the model around a network.
You work directly with an engagement lead. That person resources and completes the work within the time and budget you've agreed, drawing on the network for exactly the skills each stage requires.
Your expedition lead
One person you talk to, and one person accountable.
Your core engagement lead is your primary contact. Depending on the assignment, they may or may not do the hands-on work themselves. Either way, they carry four responsibilities.
- 01
Assemble the party
Choose the people and skills the work needs and bring them together.
- 02
Manage the resources
Keep the right people on the right tasks at the right time.
- 03
Hold the timeline and budget
Run to the dates and the numbers you've agreed.
- 04
Keep every brief aligned
Make sure the whole party works toward the same goal, from the first brief to the last handoff.
The pool and the pod
Every skill we have, and the party we build from it.
The hexagons below show our pool of skills and departments. Each expedition draws a pod from that pool: the engagement lead at the centre, the practice leads the journey needs around them, and specialists joining at the stages where they matter. The gold cells show one example pod.
An example expedition pod. Gold cells are the party for this journey; outlined cells stay in the network, ready when the route calls for them.
The expedition
How a bespoke party explores a challenge and conquers it.
- 01
Scout the terrain
We study your market, your customers, and your competitors until the landscape is clear.
- 02
Chart the route
We turn what we've learned into a plan with milestones, owners, and a budget.
- 03
Assemble the party
Your engagement lead picks the skills the route needs and briefs everyone in.
- 04
Make the ascent
The party does the work, with check-ins that keep the briefs aligned.
- 05
Plant the flag
We launch, measure, and share what we learned.
- 06
Resupply and regroup
We review the results and decide the next leg of the journey with you.
The customer journey
We map the expedition to your customer's journey.
Every party we assemble starts from the customer's trail: how people find a brand, weigh their options, decide, and come back. Our team has guided many brands through that buying journey, so we know where customers pause, what they need to hear, and which moments deserve the most attention. Your engagement lead plans the work around those moments.
Discover
People meet the brand.
Consider
People compare and weigh.
Decide
People choose and buy.
Return
People come back and tell others.
Tell us the challenge and we'll assemble the party.
Describe where your team needs more capacity or a new skill, and we'll show you the pod we'd build.
