Fix what’sdraggingperformance.
We work with mid-market companies and PE-backed businesses to find what’s actually holding performance back, and fix it. Marketing. Technology. Operations. Revenue.
Most performance problems aren’t what they look like.
We find what’s actually causing it and fix it. We move fast because we’ve seen it before.
Numbers we stand behind.
Every engagement is scoped to a measurable outcome. These are the ones we report on.
Measured across engagements since 2018, corporate and private equity, North America and Europe.
Four pillars. One operating model.
We don’t generalize. Each pillar reflects work we’ve run hundreds of times, with the depth that comes from doing, not advising.
PE Due Diligence & Value Creation
Operational and commercial diligence before close. 100-day programs during the hold. Exit preparation that makes the value visible to buyers.
Marketing Performance & Procurement
Agency search, media audit, production cost, contracts, MarTech. The full commercial side of marketing, run with the discipline applied to any major cost base.
AI Enablement & Automation
Where AI actually pays inside your business, which tools and vendors to use, and the running workflows that prove it. Provider-agnostic.
Cost & Operations
IT and software contracts, cloud spend, revenue operations, and operating model design. We find the savings and capture them, including the conversations in-house teams avoid.
Eight practice areas sit under these four pillars, each with its own detailed page.
See all eight services→We don’t hand you a report. We run the work.
Strategy firms produce recommendations. We produce outcomes. The negotiation, the process build, the vendor management, the measurement. Clients pay for the result.
Fifteen minutes
A short call. You tell us what’s not working. We tell you whether we can help and what it would look like. No deck.
Diagnostic
A focused review of the cost base or function in question. Where the money is going, what’s recoverable, what it would take.
Scoped engagement
Fixed scope, fixed fee, clear outcome. Where it fits, part of our fee is tied to the savings we capture.
We run it
Vendor negotiation, agency process, system rationalization, reporting. We stay until the result is on the P&L.
What it looks like in practice.
$14M recovered from a global media and agency estate.
A global CPG company was spending across dozens of agencies, markets, and media partners with no single view of what it bought, who added value, and what senior talent it was actually paying for.
A $30M programmatic program, sharpened.
A fast-growing B2B software company had scaled programmatic from a $20K pilot to roughly $30M a year. The spend was working. The question was where money was going that it shouldn't.
One global commerce partner instead of a patchwork.
A global consumer products company ran eCommerce and retail media through a patchwork of regional agencies and technology vendors. It needed a single partner capable of global consistency and regional nuance.
“During diligence, they identified $2M in media spend we were losing to supply chain inefficiency. Three months post-close, the savings were real.”
COO, PE-backed restaurant group“They ran our 100-day operational plan. Not the slide deck, the actual work. Vendor renegotiations, SaaS audit, operating model. EBITDA impact was visible by month four.”
CFO, PE-backed software company“The most rigorous agency review we’ve ever done. Cut the roster, renegotiated the survivors, built governance that’s still running two years later.”
CMO, global consumer goods company“Operator depth we couldn’t hire internally. Delivered faster than we expected. Left the team more capable than they found them.”
