A monthly
rhythm. A senior
brain. A
team behind it.
No mystery, no agency theatre. Here's exactly what working with Nine Stones looks like — from the first call to year three.
No big bang.
A proper start.
We move slowly at the start so we can move quickly later.
Week one is a kickoff with you and whoever else makes decisions. We agree what good looks like, what's tried before, and what's actually keeping you up at night.
Weeks two and three are an audit — site, search, paid, content, CRM, analytics. Whatever's there, in whatever state it's in. We don't make you tidy it first.
By the end of the month you have a plan written in plain English, a baseline of where things stand today, and a clear view of what we're doing in the first quarter.
What every
month looks like.
The senior strategy call
Once a month, ninety minutes, with the partner who owns your account. Plan vs. reality, what's working, what's next.
Working sessions
Fortnightly or weekly depending on your plan. Decisions get made, not deferred. Notes go out the same day.
The production team
Designers, writers, paid media, developers, analysts. They sit behind your partner and execute. You don't have to manage them.
A shared backlog
One list of what's in flight, what's queued, what's parked. Visible to you. We groom it together.
Specialists when you need them
PR, video, trade events, niche technical work. We bring them in, manage them, fold them into the plan.
One thread of communication
You message your partner, not a queue. Replies inside a working day. No tickets, no portals, no forms to fill in.
A short
story, not
a dashboard.
One report a month. Two pages. Read it on the way to a meeting.
The numbers that matter — leads, pipeline, traffic, conversions — alongside what we did, what we learned, and what we're changing because of it.
A live dashboard if you want one, but the monthly note is what you'll actually read. We write it the same way we'd write to a board, because that's where it usually ends up.
The work in year three
looks nothing like the
work in month one.
Months 1–3
Foundations. Audit, plan, fix the obvious. Most clients see the first lift here.
Months 4–12
Engine-building. Content, SEO, paid, CRM all start building on each other. The plan flexes monthly.
Year two
Brand and creative work. By now we know your customers and your sales team properly. We invest accordingly.
Year three and beyond
Sometimes we step back to oversight while a client hires in. Sometimes we go deeper. Always your call.
Want to see how it'd work for you?
Thirty minutes on a call. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help. If we can't, we usually know someone who can.
What the thirty minutes covers: what you're trying to grow, what's worked so far and what hasn't, and an honest view on whether we're the right team to own it.
