Did a small business need “agency” support 10 years ago? No. But they also didn’t need photoshoots, Instagram Reels, and Facebook ads back then either. Business is different, and here is how an agency can help you adapt.
1. We absorb huge costs for your business
Hiring, training, software… So many small businesses make the investment to hire only to have their candidate leave 8 months later causing your company to start again from scratch. So frustrating. Now all those problems, are our problems. Your operations stay smooth and continuous.
2. We have experts for every task
I hear all the time how people want to hire ONE, organized admin who can write social posts, edit video, design, manage ads…
(This person does not really exist. If they did, they’d be running their OWN company.) But when you hire an agency you’re getting all those professionals in a single phone call, and you get high standard outcomes on all those deliverables. You get SKILL and execution.
3. You only pay for us when you need us
If you’re a seasonal business, or you only need support when you launch a new product, or if you want to cut back when business is slow, you can tailor your package to your needs. Employees need stability, but an agency is flexible.
4. You get perspective
Fresh eyes that see your company from the outside. In most cases, we have or had clients in your industry and we already know what works and doesn’t work. We can be more responsive to changes in platforms and advertising opportunities, we’re confident and can push your goals.
5. We can correct some of your businesses bad habits
Most businesses don’t have their back end operations very “clean”. (For example, do you have your logo files, brand colours and web passwords organized? I bet you don’t.) Working with an agency helps to professionalize your workflows and reduces the time lost to many of these more menial tasks.
An agency will generally give you a single account manager so that you have a specific person to collaborate with, who knows you and your business. Behind the scenes, they may be leading a team of as many as 8 people to ensure that your business is getting the best outcomes in a quick and efficient way.
An agency can help you scale your business in a way that a single contractor or professional can’t.
A consultation with us is FREE. We can talk about your business and tailor a plan for you – whether it’s just 3 hours of design time or a massive campaign for a product launch.

Over-Sharing On Social
Your social media isn’t going to vibe and build relationships with other humans if you aren’t human yourself, but where is the line?
I Made A Mistake…
I made a mistake last week, but I'm gonna share it because I think it gives good insight into the dynamics of branding. An older client came to us with a very old website that badly needed updating. They reluctantly admitted that their entire brand needed work. Their...
Never Go Into Battle, With An Untested Weapon
In 1996 Val Kilmer was in a movie with Michael Douglas. In the movie, they were hunting a massive killer lion out on the Savannah. As a gift, another hunter gave Val Kilmer a beautiful new gun to hunt with – since the lion was so badass.
What’s the BEST Thing A Business Owner Can Buy For Under $1000?
Brand Ambition isn’t that old – so we still (really!) remember our start-up hustle phase. (I think we’re still in it!?) But there were definitely some purchases that we made early on that made a big difference in our initial growth. Here’s what we recommend…
Plan Your Social For Instagram First
When a potential client clicks on your Instagram profile page, they see ALL your photos at once. With one quick swipe, they are going to see all your content and make the decision on whether or not to follow you…

Wilmot Blueberry Orchard
Like many farms and orchards, this was a family business, and as management of the company passed to a new generation, it became a priority to update and modernize the company’s visuals. See how we did it while honoring the heritage of the blueberry orchard.
