A Turnaround Strategy That Rebuilt Profitability and Momentum
Two years of shrinking revenue and profitability put this Northeast media agency on the brink. Despite strong business development chops at the top, inconsistent client retention and broken service delivery were bleeding the agency dry.
We dug deep for four months, uncovering leadership gaps, inefficiencies, and a reactive staffing model. Then, in six months, we turned losses into profitability—without losing a single client. Over the next year, we rebuilt leadership, restructured the team, and implemented a scalable growth model.
This agency isn’t just back on track—it’s positioned to double revenue in 18 months while maintaining a 20% EBITDA.
