Fractional growth · for $5M+ brands

Your fractional growth lead, on a flat fee.

One senior operator owning the whole growth engine — paid search, paid social, email, and merchandising — for a fee that doesn't climb as you scale. The bigger you get, the more sense it makes.

the wedge

Percentage fees quietly tax your growth.

Every agency that bills a percentage of spend has the same conflict baked in: when you grow, their invoice grows — for the same work. A flat fee inverts it. As your account scales, your effective rate falls.

THE PERCENTAGE MODEL

10–15% of spend across paid search, social, and lifecycle.

$6,000–9,000+/mo

…and climbing every quarter you grow.

THIS ENGAGEMENT

One flat fee. Same scope of work, more disciplines covered.

$7,500/mo, fixed

Scale to $10M, $20M — the fee holds.

what you get

Four levers. One owner.

Most agencies sell you one box on the growth map. This engagement covers the full revenue engine — how you acquire, how you keep customers, and how you convert — under a single accountable lead.

01 · ACQUISITION

Paid Search

Full strategy and hands-on management — the discipline Cherri Stone is built on.

02 · ACQUISITION

Paid Social

Channel strategy, creative direction, and audience architecture to extend reach beyond search.

03 · RETENTION

Email & Lifecycle

RFM segmentation and a flow strategy that turns one-time buyers into repeat revenue.

04 · MERCHANDISING

Merchandising · A/R/C

Product, offer, and on-site decisions judged by their lift on Acquisition, Retention, and Conversion.

scope — in & out

Where strategy ends and execution begins.

Clear lines protect both sides. Paid is run end-to-end. Lifecycle and merchandising are owned as strategy and recommendations, with execution kept lean or client-side — so the engagement stays senior, not a production shop.

phase zero

Start with the teardown.

A one-time diagnostic that shows exactly where money is leaking — and roughly how much is on the table. It proves the thesis before you commit to the build.

Diagnostic Audit

The teardown

$5,000one-time, before the engagement begins

We pressure-test the whole engine against your numbers and report what we find. You leave with a clear picture of the problem — the fixes come once we're working together.

  • Full paid search & social account teardown
  • Blended MER & efficiency baseline
  • Funnel & conversion leak analysis
  • Opportunity sizing — what growth is realistically on the table
the engagement arc

Growth on this engine compounds — it doesn't spike.

The acquisition rebuild lands first. Lifecycle and merchandising take cycles to mature. The term is built to match how the work actually plays out.

Phase 1 · Foundation
Months 1–3

Rebuild & instrument

Restructure the acquisition engine, fix tracking, set the MER baseline everything is measured against.

Phase 2 · Compounding
Months 4–8

Lifecycle & conversion

RFM segments and on-site merchandising activate. The window where the slow-burn levers start to pay.

Phase 3 · Scale
Months 9–12

Expand on a proven engine

Push into new channels and segments and optimize efficiency once the fundamentals are working.

terms

Built for high-value, long-horizon partnerships.

$7,500 /mo
Flat retainer

Fixed regardless of spend or revenue growth. No percentage, ever.

12 months
Initial term

The full arc — foundation, compounding, scale. Long enough for the slow levers to land.

$5M+
Annual gross floor

Enough order volume and data maturity for RFM and A/R/C to be meaningful.

Capped
Roster by design

A small number of engagements at a time, so each gets a senior owner — not a queue.

Media spend is yours. Ad budgets are billed directly to your accounts and never run through the retainer — full transparency, no markup, no float.
