Who this is for

You've built something real.

The offer works. The content works. The sales close.

What's not working is everything around it.

The brand doesn't feel like you anymore. The website doesn't represent where the business actually is now. The tech is clunky, the email system is … there, and the next launch is too important to ship with the current setup carrying it.

Meet the team that lands it.

  • Established owners
  • A validated offer
  • A list of 1,000+
  • A next launch that matters

Ten deliverables

Everything the next launch needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Every piece is designed to work with every other piece. That's the literal point.

(01)

Brand strategy grounded in real research

+

Into your audience, your competitors, and the SEO keywords your buyers are actually searching, so every decision downstream is built on evidence, not guesses.

(02)

A complete brand identity

+

Every logo, mark, type choice, and color your brand needs to feel clear, cohesive, and fully alive everywhere it shows up.

(03)

A brand guide that makes it all usable

+

A visual representation of your brand, showing how it comes to life on the website, the thinking behind every choice, plus font files and assets. So you (or anyone you ever hire) stays perfectly on-brand without you in the room.

(04)

Conversion copywriting across web and email

+

Built around your strategy and the SEO keywords your buyers are already searching. On voice, on offer, built to move.

(05)

A fully custom website built to convert

+

Designed, written, and built around your offer and the exact path you want people to take. Coded with Claude and shipped to Vercel, or built on Squarespace, Shopify, Kajabi, or Framer.

(06)
?

A live quiz connected to your email system

+

Built in Interact, integrated with your platform, qualifying real leads as they land, and handing you buyer intel with every completion.

(07)

Segmented email sequences for every quiz result

+

So the right message reaches the right person automatically. Nurture that sounds like you and sells while you sleep.

(08)

A 3-day live launch written and sent to your list

+

Proving the whole system works on day one, with revenue in your inbox before we hand over the keys.

(09)

An AI-powered CEO Dashboard

+

Showing you what's converting and what's leaking, at a glance. Your whole funnel, readable in one screen.

(10)

An AI Brand Companion trained on your brand

+

A trained-for-you AI senior brand designer, loaded with your brand brain. On-brand graphics, pages, and ideas long after the Sprint ends.

The build

Two power sources. Two expertises. One coordinated build.

Not an agency with layers. Not two freelancers guessing at each other's work. Two leads, one system, built side by side, on purpose.

The proof

Brand new domain. Zero sending history. Built from scratch.

From the launch of Philosopher's Notes as a standalone product. Em built the brand from scratch, designed and built the marketing website, and designed the product itself. Liezle built every system around it, the funnel, the segmented email flows, and the attribution, to lead sales straight to the offer. Two sides. One launch.

The secret weapon

A quiz that isn't a quiz.

If "quiz" makes you think BuzzFeed and "which Carrie are you," same. That's the version everyone's seen. This isn't that.

An assessment, built right, is reverse-engineered from the offer you're already selling. We start with your offer and your buyer, do deep research on your ICA, then design the questions backward from what reveals the right fit, leading to the offer of your choice.

The result: questions that give the answerer language for what they didn't know they were feeling. And give you more intel on your buyer than a year of survey responses ever would.

The Sprint builds one flow: one quiz that leads to one offer, paid or free, or an offer-decider that routes each person to the right one of yours. Want the full ladder, top to bottom? That's an add-on below

(This is the part most clients don't expect to enjoy.)

Prerequisites

A paid offer you've already sold and validated. An email list of 1,000+. Professional-grade copy: we write it, or you bring copy that meets the standard. Everything else gets built in the Sprint.

Questions

Asked and answered.

How do you decide if my existing copy "meets the standard"?+

There's a spot in the application to submit your copy for review, so if you're wondering whether it's workable, send it and we'll tell you. We check it against three things: is it clear, is it on-strategy for the offer you're selling now, and is it structured to convert. If it passes, the Sprint compresses to 3 weeks at $19,000. If it's close, we'll tell you exactly what's missing. One thing to know: even when you bring your website copy, we still write the email sequences and quiz copy ourselves, that's all net new to the Sprint.

How much of my time does the Sprint actually take?+

Plan for 3–4 focused hours per week. This is genuinely done-for-you, so the heavy lifting sits on our end, for four weeks it's essentially our full-time job. What we need from you is dedicated, focused time each week: to sit with the work, review it (there's a lot, copy and visuals both), and give clear, meaningful feedback as the expert in your own business. That means one scheduled review moment plus real-time responsiveness in Slack. Both matter to hold this pace.

What platforms do you build on?+

Our ideal is a fully custom site coded with Claude and shipped to Vercel, the most flexible, fastest, and most future-proof build. We also build on Squarespace, and on Shopify when you're selling physical or e-commerce products. Kajabi and Framer are doable too. We recommend based on your business, not our preference. Interact for the quiz. Klaviyo (or your existing ESP) for email. Everything integrated before handoff.

Why only 3 per quarter?+

Because both of us are personally in every build, every week. No juniors, no white-labeling, no queue of twelve projects. Three keeps the work at the standard we're known for.

What happens after the 4 weeks?+

You get 30 days of post-launch tech support included, plus your AI Brand Companion for on-brand output long after we're gone. From there, the Quarterly Refresh keeps the system tuned, or you run it yourself with the brand guide and dashboard. It's yours. That's the point.

What if we're not a fit?+

We'll tell you on the discovery call, directly, and usually with a recommendation for what to do instead. The Sprint only works when the prerequisites are real.

✳︎

Get ready to say…

Holy shit. That was the most productive four weeks of my entire year.”

That's what we want you saying afterward. Not "the project went well." Not "I'm happy with it." A brand that finally feels like you, a site you're proud to send people to, a system that runs without you, and the numbers showing up in your inbox. All of it, built in four weeks.

If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you. If it is, we'll show you exactly how the Sprint runs.
