# The Content Agency OS — Stackwork

> Stop being the bottleneck of your agency. Stackwork builds a done-for-you operating system for content agency founders who've outgrown spreadsheets but aren't ready to hire an ops manager. Sales, onboarding, fulfillment, invoicing, and client portals — built and automated in Notion, mapped to your workflow, replacing the 10 disconnected tools you're juggling today. Up and running in 4 weeks.

## The premise

Your agency isn't held back by your **content**. It's held back by **you**.

Most content agencies don't fail because the work is bad. They fail because every system runs through the founder — and that scales to about 5 clients before everything starts to crack. You've outgrown spreadsheets. You aren't ready to hire an ops manager. The gap is the Content Agency OS.

## Status

- Founding cohort open: 3 spots remaining at $5,900 (then $9,400)
- Simo runs no more than 2 builds simultaneously
- 30-day implementation guarantee on every build

## Who this is for

Content agency founders who:

- Run a 2–10 person agency
- Are profitable but operationally chaotic
- Manage 5–25 retainer clients
- Are still the operations bottleneck
- Are juggling 10+ disconnected tools

## What the buyer actually gets

- **Onboard new clients in under 1 hour** instead of 2–3 days
- **Save 10+ hours/week** of founder operational drag
- **Stop being the bottleneck** — every system runs without you in the middle
- **Take on 5+ more retainer clients** without hiring an ops manager
- **Run a $500K agency on the operations infrastructure of a $5M one**
- **One source of truth** instead of 10 disconnected tools

## The 5 real pains this solves

1. *"Every system runs through me. Nothing moves unless I push it."* — Founder bottleneck
2. *"Onboarding a new client takes 2–3 days of my time. Every time."* — No onboarding
3. *"I'm juggling 10+ disconnected tools and a spreadsheet that's lying to me."* — Tool sprawl
4. *"I look unprofessional every time a client emails asking for an update."* — No client portal
5. *"I want to take on 5 more retainers — but the ops won't survive it."* — Capped growth

## What The Content Agency OS actually is

A done-for-you operating system, built and automated in Notion, custom-mapped to your specific workflow. Not a template. Not a course. A real operating system delivered in 4 weeks.

**This is not a template.** Templates are generic, empty, and require you to figure them out. This is a custom build — your workflows, your client stages, your team structure, your automations. Delivered ready to use on day one.

### Six connected modules

1. **Sales pipeline** — Leads in, deals tracked, status visible. Cal.com bookings land automatically.
2. **Client onboarding** — Intake form, contract, brand assets, kickoff doc, Stripe invoice — fired automatically the moment a deal closes. Down from 2–3 days to under an hour.
3. **Project fulfillment** — Briefs, drafts, approvals, revisions, publishing. Every piece of content, every stage.
4. **Client portals** — Deliverables, approvals, upcoming content, and invoices visible to clients without email.
5. **Invoicing + payments** — Stripe connected. Invoices fire automatically. Payment confirmations notify Slack and update the CRM.
6. **Reporting + dashboards** — Founder's operating dashboard: pipeline health, cash flow, project status, team capacity in one view.

**All connected.** Lead → onboarding → contract → invoice → project creation → client portal access, triggered automatically.

## The 30-day implementation guarantee

If your team isn't fully using the system within 30 days of delivery — calls, Looms, custom adjustments — I keep working with you 1:1 at no extra cost until they are.

This addresses the real fear (*"I'll buy this and it'll sit unused"*) with something measurable, deliverable, and on the hook for me to make happen.

## Before / After

### Before — you're the bottleneck
- Every new client costs you 2–3 days of onboarding work
- Your week is 10+ hours of operational drag you never planned for
- 10+ disconnected tools, a spreadsheet that's lying to you
- Invoicing is late, manual, or forgotten — cash flow is guesswork
- Clients email asking "any update?" — you scramble to reply
- Taking on 5 more retainers would break the operation

### After — Day 28 onward
- New client onboarded in under 60 minutes, end to end, automated
- 10+ hours/week back — every system runs without you in the middle
- One workspace, one source of truth, the 10 tools are gone
- Invoices fire automatically. Stripe handles payment. Slack confirms it.
- Clients check their portal. They stop emailing for updates.
- Capacity for 5+ more retainers — without hiring an ops manager

## How it works — four steps

| Step | What happens | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 — Discovery call | Free 20-min call. We confirm fit, scope, and timeline. | Day 0 |
| 2 — Process map | Deep audit. Complete process map of your agency delivered in 72 hours. | Day 1–3 |
| 3 — Build & automate | Six modules built. End-to-end automation wired. | Day 4–24 |
| 4 — Train & launch | Two 1:1 implementation calls. Loom library. Then 60 days of support. | Day 25–28 |

## Pricing — two ways in

### Tier 01 — Founding Client *(3 spots left)*
**$5,900 one-time.** $3,500 off the standard price.

The full Content Agency OS — nothing removed. In exchange:
- Written case study with your name, agency, and results
- Video testimonial after delivery
- Permission to use the build (anonymized if needed) as a sales asset
- Honest feedback to refine the offer

### Tier 02 — Standard
**$9,400 one-time.** The default after the founding cohort closes.

Same build, same deliverables, same guarantee. No case-study obligation.

**Payment for both tiers:** 50% on signing, 50% on delivery.

### Optional retainer (after 60 days) — Stackwork Maintenance
**$497 / month.** For ongoing system iteration, new automations, and team support.

## FAQ

**Why is this priced like a fraction of an ops hire?**
Because it is. A part-time ops manager costs $4–7K/month and takes 3–6 months to ramp. The Content Agency OS is a one-time $9,400 ($5,900 founding) and is fully operational in 4 weeks. It's the system the right ops person would have built for you — already built.

**What does the 30-day implementation guarantee cover?**
If your team isn't fully using the system 30 days after delivery, I keep working with you 1:1 — extra calls, Looms, custom adjustments — at no extra cost until they are.

**What's the difference between Founding Client and Standard?**
Identical build, identical deliverables, identical guarantee. The Founding Client tier is $3,500 cheaper in exchange for a case study, testimonial, and permission to use the build as a sales asset.

**Is this just a Notion template?**
No. A template is empty and generic. The Content Agency OS is a custom build mapped to your specific workflow during the 72-hour process mapping phase. I install it, configure it, automate it, and hand it over fully populated and functional.

**How long does the whole build actually take?**
Four weeks from kickoff. Process map delivered within 72 hours. Days 4–24 is the build + automation phase. Days 25–28 is training and launch. Then 60 days of direct support.

**Do I need to already know Notion?**
No. The entire workspace is delivered fully configured. Two 1:1 implementation calls plus a full Loom library walk you and your team through every view, every database, and every automation.

**What if I want changes after you deliver it?**
Included for 60 days. Weekly Looms, async access, system tweaks, bug fixes, and new module requests. After that, the optional $497/mo Stackwork Maintenance retainer keeps me on for ongoing iteration.

**How is this different from hiring an OBM or ops consultant?**
Most ops consultants give you advice, docs, and meetings — you still have to build the thing. I build the thing. You get a working system at the end, not a roadmap. I work exclusively with content agencies, so I'm not re-learning your workflow on your dime.
