Frequently Asked Questions

Running with Strategy is a marketing agency based in Miami, Florida. I work with founders whose businesses carry a mission bigger than growth metrics, helping them market in alignment with who they actually are. You start with a free Offer Read: a written read of your offer. From there, some founders book the Brand Clarity Session for a full brand plan in writing, and some go straight into the 90-Day Brand Build, where the plan and the content system both get built. After the Build, you run it yourself or the agency keeps running it with you.

I do. My name is Chloe. I'm a strategist and former corporate marketer who left in 2023 to build something real. The agency works with a limited number of clients at a time so that every partnership gets the kind of presence and strategic depth the work requires.

Two things. First, I look at the whole business (the founder, the brand, the numbers) before I touch the marketing. If the foundation isn't ready, I'll tell you that, even if it costs me the deal. Second, the agency is built for the AI era. I use AI heavily for execution, which lets me spend my time on the strategic and human work that AI can't do.

Miami, Florida. I work remotely with founders across the United States and internationally. Miami is home and where the agency is based.

Personal brands, service-based businesses, real estate, law firms, med spas, online communities, nonprofits, clothing brands, course creators, and e-commerce. Especially female founders. Especially mission-driven companies. The common thread is that the founder is the brand. The person behind the work matters and shows up in the marketing.

Most people start with the free Offer Read, a few minutes of questions that come back as a written read of your offer. From there, some book the Brand Clarity Session: ninety minutes with me, then your brand plan in writing within five business days. Founders who want the whole thing built start the 90-Day Brand Build, and the Session is credited in full if you sign the Brand Build within thirty days of getting your plan. After the Build, you run what we built yourself, or we keep it going through social media management, in three-month blocks.

Yes. Beyond the Offer Read, the Session, the Builds, and the monthly work, the agency builds custom AI systems: content systems, automated workflows, AI-assisted ad operations, brand-trained marketing tools. They are quoted after a call, usually after a Build, once we know what your business actually needs. Book a thirty-minute call and describe what you're looking for.

One-off projects aren't listed on the site. The agency's offers are the ladder: a free Offer Read, the Brand Clarity Session, the two 90-Day Builds, the Website Build, and monthly social media management and ads. If what you need sits outside those, say so on a thirty-minute call and it gets quoted there.

Yes. The agency is remote-first. Clients across the US and internationally work well as long as we can coordinate meetings within reasonable time zones.

Yes, when the partnership requires it. Most partnerships don't need one, but for clients with sensitive business information, IP concerns, or in regulated industries, we can put one in place at the start of the engagement.

Within two business days of an email. If you book a call, the next step is already on the calendar, and I'll be honest on it about whether we're the right fit.

Once a partnership begins, the first month is foundation. We do a deep onboarding session where we go through your business, your offer, your audience, your numbers, your current marketing, and what you're actually trying to build. Everything that comes after is built on that foundation.

Each partnership includes asynchronous access between scheduled meetings. That means you can reach me by email or your preferred channel for questions, decisions, and strategic input. Because I work in marketing, I'm on my laptop and phone throughout the day, so responses tend to come back quickly. The agency operates on a reasonable rhythm, not constant availability. You'll get the time and attention the work needs, with the trust that I'm not running on hustle culture.

The agency runs on a stack that includes Meta Ads Manager, AI tools like Claude and a layered system of marketing-specific AI applications, analytics platforms, content production software, and project management tools. The full stack is scoped per partnership. Clients don't need to learn or pay for any of it.

Yes. Every partnership starts with a written agreement that covers scope, pricing, terms, and the three-month minimum commitment. Renewal terms are scoped at the end of the initial term.

Starting rates are published: the Offer Read is free, the Brand Clarity Session is from $750, the 90-Day Brand Build is from $9,000, and social media management after the Build starts at $2,500 a month. Ads run for you start at $2,500 a month plus ad spend, and a website build starts at $4,500.

Strategic work needs continuity to compound. The first month is foundation. The second month is when things start shifting. The third month is when the strategy actually starts paying off. Anything less than three months and we'd just be getting started when the engagement ends, which doesn't serve anyone.

Strategic foundation, campaign architecture, audience research, campaigns tuned weekly against your numbers, creative direction, ad copy, new creative tested monthly, the daily brief from the system, and a monthly report. The fee does NOT include ad spend. That's paid directly to Meta, separately from our fee. Ads, run for you, starts at $2,500 a month plus ad spend, with managed spend up to $15,000 a month.

Ad spend is separate from the management fee and paid directly by you to Meta. The agency manages the strategy and execution; the spend goes through your accounts. We'll talk through the right ad spend for your business and stage on the first call. The right number depends on your location, offer, and growth model.

Renewal terms are scoped at the end of the initial three-month term based on what the partnership is doing for your business. We'll talk through whether continuing makes sense, what the right next phase looks like, or whether the work is complete.

The 90-Day Brand Build offers payment options, covered on the call when you start. The Brand Clarity Session is credited in full toward the 90-Day Brand Build if you sign within thirty days of getting your plan, and the Install is credited in full toward the 90-Day Ads Build within thirty days. Social media management and ads run for you together are 10% off both. Beyond those, the agency doesn't discount its rates. If the current pricing isn't the right fit for your business right now, start with the free Offer Read and come back when you're ready.

The Offer Read is the agency's free entry. You answer a few questions about what you sell and who buys it, and you get back a written read of your offer, no cost, no call required. If you want to talk it through after that, book a thirty-minute call and I'll be honest about whether we're a fit.

Yes. The agency is built on a layered system of AI tools that handle the parts of marketing that used to require a whole team. Research, drafts, optimization, image generation, content variations, analysis. AI is a multiplier. It lets the agency do the work of a full agency without losing the human thinking that makes the work matter.

AI assists. I direct. Every piece of copy, every campaign, every strategic decision goes through human judgment and your brand foundation. The agency uses AI for production speed and creative iteration, not for replacing the strategic and voice work that requires presence.

Custom AI Systems are a form of custom work the agency builds for clients who want to run more of their own marketing in-house. I build AI workflows trained on your brand: content systems, automated reporting, AI-assisted ad operations, anything your business needs to run lean and aligned. Some clients use these to reduce their reliance on outside marketing help; others keep the agency on as the strategist while AI handles the day-to-day.

Because the economics of marketing are changing fast. Founders no longer need full teams to handle most marketing operations. With the right AI tools, a small agency can produce content, run campaigns, and analyze performance at a level that used to require a much bigger team. Running with Strategy is built for what's next, not what was.

The AI tools the agency uses are all enterprise-grade with privacy and data protection standards. Client information, brand foundations, and any sensitive business data are not used to train external models or shared beyond what's required for the work. NDAs are available for clients who need additional protection in place.
