Marketing ain't gonna plan itself!

It's never too early (and always too late) to start planning your marketing strategy—and 2026 is almost here. If you don't already have your sh*t together, the time was yesterday. Thankfully, our Discovery Phase accelerates the marketing research and agency onboarding process, getting you from Point A to Point EMB in less than 30 days.

The three-part Discovery Phase starts with the goal- and solution-setting Digital Mindmap session, continues to the brand-strengthening Creative Mindmap, before wrapping up with the competitor-exploring and data-deep-diving Roadmap. It's the perfect trio for getting small- to medium-sized brands on the path to marketing success.
