We need in-depth case studies. You probably need marketing help but don't have a huge budget. So we built a way to trade. It's called the Case Study Collab. 50% off our retainer for 12 months in exchange for transparency, following our playbook, and letting us document the entire journey. Why we built thisWhen we sit down with new prospects, the question we get most often isn't "do you do good work?" It's "show me real examples of companies like mine." Fair question. The honest answer is that most agencies' case studies are surface-level — a logo, a vague metric, a generic quote. Almost no agency publishes the actual strategy, the actual decisions, the actual numbers in the kind of depth that would let a smart founder evaluate whether the work was good. We want to publish those. The full version. Strategy, implementation, design decisions, growth metrics, lessons learned, before-and-afters. The case study an engineer or operator would actually want to read. The catch on our side: you can't manufacture that. You can only document it in real time, with a client willing to be transparent, who follows what you recommend, and who's willing to put their numbers in public. We've found that's a rare combination. So instead of begging for the right partners, we built a structured trade. How the trade worksStandard retainer is $12,000/month. Case Study Collab partners get 50% off: $6,000/month for 12 months. In exchange, three commitments from you:
We document everything along the way. At the end of the engagement, you get the finished case study to use as your own marketing asset. What you get
What we get
That's it. We're not making money on the case study itself. The case study is the marketing asset, and the trade is the discount. The catchYou actually have to follow what we recommend. This is the part most agencies wouldn't say out loud. The case study only works if the results are there. If we make recommendations and you sit on them, or override them with internal preferences, the case study doesn't materialize and the trade falls apart. We're not asking for blind trust — we'll always explain the reasoning. But we are asking that you put more weight on our recommendations than you'd put on a normal agency relationship. We're betting on our judgment publicly. So are you. Who this is forYou're a SaaS company with product-market fit and real momentum to build on. You're comfortable sharing real metrics — privately with us during the engagement, publicly in the case study after. You're willing to actually let us drive marketing strategy for a year. You can commit to 12 months at $6k/mo. If that's you, we should talk. The editorial guaranteeThe case study does not go live until you say so. Period. You get full editorial approval — copy, screenshots, metrics. If you change your mind partway through, we won't publish. The discount you got is still yours; the engagement still happened. We just don't get our proof point. That's the deal in writing. How to applyTell us about your company, your traction, and what you're trying to unlock. We're selective on partners — not every applicant gets in — but if it's a fit, we'll set up the kickoff call. Want to be one of our next public wins?That's the real ask. If your business is in a place where the next 12 months of focused marketing work could change the trajectory — and you're willing to be transparent about it — there isn't a better deal in the space.
Let's collab, —Corey |
