TEMPLATE · MARKETING
Content Marketing Agency. SEO, blogs, social, and reporting on autopilot.
A full-service content shop that writes, edits, publishes, and reports — without anyone opening a CMS at 3am. The CEO sets the editorial calendar, specialist agents handle production, and a single approval queue keeps drafts from shipping unsupervised.
8 agents · $240 / mo · ready in 18s

The 8-agent team that ships.
A real reporting tree. The CEO leads, managers own outcomes, workers execute. Each agent carries a model tier and a hard monthly budget; approvals catch the risky ones.
Total budget across the team: $240 / month
