    Microservices for Boutique Agencies

    Your Best People Are Buried in Work
    Nobody Bills For ].

    Pulling competitive reports. Rebuilding the same brief template. Compiling campaign performance into a deck that takes three hours and gets read in three minutes. That work is real. It costs real hours. And not one of those hours shows up on a client invoice.

    We build small, focused tools that handle the repeatable operational work, so your team spends their time on the work only they can do.

    What It Actually Is

    A microservice is just a small, focused tool.

    No new platform to learn. No subscription your team ignores after month two. A piece of software built for one specific job your agency does on repeat, that runs itself, every time, exactly the way you'd want a person to do it.

    One job, done well

    Solves one specific operational problem. Not a Swiss army knife. Not another dashboard. The brief gets built. The report gets pulled. The audit gets done.

    Plugs into what you already use

    Talks to your CRM, your project management tool, your ad platforms. No new logins. No retraining your account team. It works inside the stack you already have.

    Owned or subscribed, your call

    Buy it outright and it's yours: the code, the infrastructure, the IP. Or subscribe monthly and we build, host, and maintain it for you. No vendor lock-in either way.

    Real Examples

    Four things we've built. Four agencies that stopped bleeding margin on work they couldn't bill.

    Before

    Competitive pulls

    A strategist spends four to six hours every time a new brief kicks off pulling competitor ads, website positioning, and social content across three or four brands. Half that time is formatting, not thinking.

    After

    Competitive brief, ready before the kickoff

    Microservice pulls competitor ad creative, landing pages, and social activity across specified brands, formats it into a structured brief, and delivers it to the strategist before the first internal meeting. They walk in ready to think, not ready to start collecting.

    "Every agency owner I know is fighting the same battle: clients want more, margins keep shrinking, and hiring isn't the answer. We build the tools that change that math."

    How We Build It

    Four steps. One to three weeks. No discovery phase that outlasts the build.

    You see exactly what you're getting before we write a line of code.

    Two Ways to Engage

    Buy it outright. Or let us run it ].

    Same microservice, two commercial models. Pick the one that fits how your business buys software.

    One-time build

    Own It

    Buy the microservice outright.

    • Fixed scope, fixed price.
    • Code and IP transfer to you.
    • Optional support retainer after handoff.
    • Best for: agencies that want to own their operational infrastructure outright or have internal technical capacity to maintain it.
    Monthly service

    Run It For You

    We build, host, and maintain it.

    • Monthly fee covers hosting and monitoring.
    • No internal ops burden, we own uptime.
    • Cancel or convert to ownership anytime.
    • Best for: agencies without a dedicated technical resource, which is most boutique agencies.

    Not sure which fits? We'll recommend the right model on the scoping call based on your team, your stack, and how your agency buys.

    Honest Qualifier

    When this is the right call for an agency, and when it isn't.

    Good fit

    • • A task someone on your team owns every week without exception.
    • • The output is consistent enough that you could write a checklist for how it gets done.
    • • The work is operational, not creative, pulling, compiling, formatting, delivering.
    • • You want your senior people doing less admin and more of what clients actually pay for.

    Not a fit

    • • The workflow changes every engagement, there's nothing stable enough to automate yet.
    • • The task requires creative judgment at every step, not just at the end.
    • • You're looking for something that writes copy, generates concepts, or replaces creative thinking, that's a different conversation.
    • • You need a full agency operating system rebuilt, not one specific tool made faster.
