Before

Where Ron started.

Joust had scaled fast but became dependent on one anchor account that represented an outsized share of revenue.

What we worked on

Four areas, in sequence.

  1. Diversification strategy

    Pipeline rebuild outside the anchor. New BDM hire, sector-targeted outreach.

  2. Productised AI Audit

    Standalone audit product that converts to ongoing engagements.

  3. Margin protection

    Anchor renewal with CPI-aligned escalators.

  4. Leadership team

    Senior tier under Ron with real decision authority.

Sequence matters. We don’t work on People before Foundation. We don’t fix Marketing before Money.

After

Where Ron is now.

Monthly revenue runs $80-119K with reduced anchor concentration. Productised AI Audit converts to ongoing work. Ron operates at investor stage.

If you recognise yourself

If you're running a creative agency at the Investor stage — two ways in.

Apply for 1:1 coaching, or book the standalone Altitude Audit ($1,500+) for a one-off diagnostic. Both start with a real conversation, not a sales pitch.
