Are We the Right Fit?

At Kindle & Slate, we work best with growth-minded brands that value strategy, transparency, and results. Here’s what you should know before we partner.

Who do you typically work with?

We partner with small to mid-sized brands that are ready to scale — often startups entering a growth phase or established businesses looking to modernize their marketing and really get strategic about meeting customers where they are in the journey. Most of our clients already have a solid product or service and need a strategic, out-of-house partner to bring structure, execution, and measurable performance.

What makes Kindle & Slate different from a typical agency?

We’re not a “set it and forget it” agency. We act as an extension of your in-house team, combining strategic leadership with execution-level performance marketing. That means you’ll have senior marketers guiding the big picture and specialists optimizing the day-to-day. We plug in like your internal team — without the overhead. We also value a no-BS, transparent communication system which means we will come with the hard truths and perspectives, and we want you to do the same with us.

Do you offer full-service marketing or specific expertise?

Both.
We start with a strategy-first approach, then activate the channels that will drive measurable results — whether that’s paid performance, SEO, email automation, or content.

Our team includes experts in:

• Growth & performance marketing (think full funnel, paid search/social)

• Search marketing and optimization (heyyyy, Google!)

• Email automation and lifecycle marketing (let’s nurture some relationships, eh?)

• Content and creative strategy (bridging brand and performance)

• Branding and positioning

Do you offer short-term projects or only ongoing partnerships?

We do both — but our best results come from longer-term partnerships where we can align deeply with your goals and build a growth engine that compounds over time.

However, we also offer short-term strategy or audit projects to help brands find clarity before committing to a larger engagement.

How do you measure success?

We define success the same way you do — by outcomes.

Every partnership begins with measurable KPIs tied to your business objectives, whether that’s lead generation, revenue growth, or customer retention.

You’ll get transparency through dashboards, reports, and regular strategy syncs.

Do you work with internal teams or replace them?

Good question! We integrate with your existing team to fill skill gaps, bring structure, and accelerate execution.

Some clients rely on us for full execution, others for strategy and leadership — either way, we fit where you need us most.

What’s it like to work with you?

We’re collaborative, transparent, and grounded. We like to have a little fun along the way, too. We’re human beings, too - we like to get to know the people we work with and value the long-term relationships we have with our clients.

You’ll get proactive communication, realistic expectations, and accountability. No fluff, no vague reports — just marketing that moves the needle.

What’s the first step?

Start with a Discovery Call — we’ll talk through your current goals, challenges, and whether we’re the right partner for your growth stage.

If there’s a fit, we’ll follow up with a proposed roadmap or engagement outline.
