The plan works without us
The obvious worry with buying strategy from an agency: you’ll get handed a list you can’t action, with a conveniently agency-shaped hole in the middle of it. Fair. Here’s how we avoid that.
“What if you recommend loads I can’t do myself?”
Then the plan is wrong, and we’ve done a bad job. A strategy you can’t act on isn’t a strategy — it’s a pitch with extra steps.
So every recommendation is scoped against what you actually have: your team, your time, your budget. If something needs a skill you don’t have in the building, the plan names that explicitly and gives you all three routes — do it, hire it, or buy it — with an honest note on which one we’d pick in your position.
You are never charged for the strategy and then told the strategy only works if you buy something else.
Three ways to execute it
Every recommendation in your plan gets tagged with one of these. Which one is right depends on your situation, not on what’s convenient for us.
Do it yourself
The plan is written to be executable without us.
Every recommendation comes with enough detail to hand to whoever is already doing your marketing — including you. The roadmap is sequenced so you can take the first three things and start on Monday.
Best when you have capacity and the work is mostly consistency, not craft.
Hire for it
Sometimes the honest answer is a person, not an agency.
If what you actually need is a competent marketer in-house four days a week, the plan will say that — and it'll tell you what to hire for, what to pay, and what to have them do first. We'd rather be right than retained.
Best when the work is continuous and close to the product.
Have Social Spark do it
One option. Not the default.
If you'd rather hand execution over, we do that too — but as a separate decision, priced separately, made after you've seen the plan. Nothing in the strategy is written to make this the only viable route.
Best when you want the plan and the delivery to be the same team's problem.

If you do want us to deliver it
That’s a separate conversation, on the main site, priced on its own merits — and it’s genuinely fine if the answer is no. The strategy you bought doesn’t change either way.
