The agency we wished existed when we were the client
We built our own outdoor brand and it was acquired, so we know what moves sales and what's noise.
We were the client
Before we started the agency, we built and ran a cycling brand and hired agencies for it. We got the decks, the flattering ROAS and the junior strategist learning our category on our invoice. Outside Projects is the team we kept wishing would answer the phone.
What that means for you
We know the category
Cycling, fishing and charters, hardgoods, marine. If your customers don't go outside to use what you sell, we're not the right team, and you won't be paying us to learn the category.
We report on profit
The number that counts is what's left after cost of goods, shipping, fees and the ad spend it took. That's the number we report every week.
We plan before we bill
Every retainer starts with a written plan: the levers we'd pull and in what order. If we can't show why something is worth doing, we don't do it.
How the week works
Every client gets a working session every week, with the people doing the work.
Once a quarter we sit down with the whole team and pitch growth ideas for every brand we work with, and the best ones get a budget. Paid, email, the site, the shoots and the custom builds all sit with one team, so nothing gets lost between vendors.
