How Engagements Work

Step 1

Intake

Founder or operator goals, product stage, timing, constraints, and what decision needs to get clearer.

Step 2

Diagnosis

Category position, product gap, audience angle, retail opportunity, and where the current plan is thin.

Step 3

Sprint

Consulting, testing, research, media planning, or a focused mix based on the highest-leverage work.

Step 4

Follow-through

Launch support, iteration, sponsor execution, or media integration when it helps the work land.
