    Do less, but better by focusing your business on a vertical market

    Every successful business owner who started as a horizontal generalist and became a vertical specialist tells me the same thing:

    Taking a vertical market approach makes everything simpler and better.

    With a vertical market approach, you know:

    • Which buyers to target

    • Which lists to build or buy

    • Which podcasts to go on

    • Which keywords to prioritize

    • Which conferences to attend

    • Which content to create

    • Which case studies to produce

    • Which associations to get involved with

    • Which competitors to research

    • Which users to build for

    Are you struggling with any of the above? 

    It may be time to do less, but better by focusing your business on a vertical market.

    “Is this a good fit for my agency?”

    I partner with founders who want to build something meaningful, not just a busier agency, but a stronger, more scalable business.

    • You’re generating $1M–$20M+ annually
    • You want to lead your market, not blend into it
    • You’re thinking about long-term scale, not short-term tactics
    • You want a growth engine that doesn’t rely on you
    • You value clarity over complexity
    • You’re open to advanced growth levers, including acquisitions
