YOU DID THE HARD PART.
NOW GROWTH HAS GONE QUIET.
You got past the first million on grit, instinct, and late nights. Revenue is real. The team is real. But somewhere between $2M and $5M, the playbook that built this business stopped working. Growth has flatlined, and the three most common moves founders make next all cost more than they return.
The Hiring Trap
You post for a Head of Growth. Six months to find one. $200K+ salary. Their first move: request budget for a team underneath them. Now you're $500K-$750K deep in payroll before a single campaign launches. Nine months in, you're still "ramping up."
The Agency Gamble
A senior partner sold you. A junior account manager services you. The reports look great. The metrics mean nothing. Revenue hasn't moved. You're paying $10K-$15K a month for activity reports and "brand awareness" you can't deposit.
The Execution Gap
You actually know what needs to happen. The strategy is clear. But your team of three can't execute at the speed and discipline required to break through. The plan sits in a Google Doc. Revenue sits where it was last quarter.
A FULL GROWTH TEAM. DEPLOYED IN 30 DAYS.
The diagram represents the system. At the summit: your Growth Ops Lead, using the COMPASS to chart direction. The next ring: the operators who execute the plan alongside the lead. The outer nodes: AI-powered infrastructure that expands your reach and compounds every human decision.
Growth Operator
Senior strategic lead. Functions as your fractional Head of Growth. Ensures the plan is implemented. Sets priorities, drives accountability, makes the strategic calls.
Ops Coordinator
Project manager and copywriting lead. Runs the day-to-day execution, coordinates specialists, manages deliverables and timelines. Ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
Specialist Pool
Media buying, SEO, content, design, development, video/audio. Deployed based on the diagnostic plan. The hands that do the implementation work.
AI Agents
Research, competitive analysis, reporting, content drafting, data synthesis. Integrated into every workflow to expand the capacity and speed of every human team member.
The AI-Native Advantage
Every company at this stage needs the same capabilities — strategy, execution, optimization — but only a fraction of each person's time. Herald's pod model gives you the full team without the full payroll. AI does the expansion. Humans do the judgment.
13 MONTHS. ONE MANDATE.
Month 1 is diagnosis. Months 2 through 13 are execution. We don't hand you a strategy deck and wish you luck. We build the plan, run the plays, and own the outcomes alongside you. Every quarter recalibrates. Every month reports. Every week executes.
The Compass Diagnostic.
The COMPASS Method identifies the 1-2 core constraints stopping you from building momentum with a 5A Flywheel and removes them for good. The output: a 65-100 page research document distilled into a sharp 12-month execution plan built entirely around removing those constraints.
Foundation.
Quick wins first. We build the infrastructure, establish baselines, and set the KPIs that will govern every decision going forward. You see traction before the first quarterly review.
Acceleration.
Double down on what's producing revenue. Kill what isn't. Every dollar and hour is directed toward the channels and tactics with proven ROI. No sacred cows.
Compounding.
The system is running. Results are compounding. Focus shifts to optimization, expansion, and building the flywheel that keeps producing revenue after the engagement ends.
Transition & Renewal
We document every system, train your team, and prepare you for the next phase of growth. Most clients renew. The ones who don't leave with a machine that runs without us.
THE MATH MAKES THE DECISION.
Building an in-house growth team costs $500K+ and takes 9-12 months before anyone executes a single campaign. Herald gives you the same strategic firepower and tactical capacity, deployed in 30 days, at a fraction of the cost. Run the numbers yourself.

WHAT THE POD ACTUALLY DOES.
The COMPASS tells us where to focus. The pod does the work. We don't offer a menu of services. We deploy the disciplines your diagnostic prescribes.
Performance Marketing
Paid media across Google, Meta, and programmatic channels. Every campaign is optimized for revenue, not impressions or clicks.
Funnel Architecture
Lead generation, email sequences, webinar funnels, and conversion optimization. We build systems that compound, not campaigns that expire.
AEO & SEO
Answer Engine Optimization, search strategy, and content architecture. We build organic authority that outlasts any ad budget and compounds month over month.
Content Production
Copywriting, video, podcast production, and social content. Every piece is tied to the growth plan. Nothing gets published because 'we need to post something.'
