Start With Clarity

If you’re feeling stuck in what used to work, but doesn’t anymore, if you want more control of where your clients come from or the type of projects you take on Middle Management helps you figure out what’s next, and how to get there.

We don’t sell branding packages.
We don’t just make things look better.
We help creative businesses make better decisions about how they show up, who they’re for, and what they’re building.

We have developed 3 separate services that address the most impactful issues facing our clients.

If you want to see if this makes sense for you, let’s talk. It’s easy to connect for 15-20 minutes over the telephone and see.

If you’re doing good work, but the way you're showing up doesn’t quite match the work anymore, this is where we begin.

Before you redo your website or get a new logo.
Before you launch a new offer or increase prices.
Before you try to “scale.”

We get clear on:

  • What’s working (and what’s not)

  • What you & your brand are really communicating

  • Where your effort is being wasted

  • And what your next move should be

This isn’t just strategy. It’s alignment—between who you are, what you want, and how your business actually functions.

“This guy’s normal. This guy’s great.”

-Grant Petersen, Rivendell Bicycle Works

“We gained A LOT of confidence… we know for a fact that we're on the right track and what we're doing is going to be way more impactful than what we were doing.”

-kellen hazelip, naomi furniture

“The shift in mindset has me focused and concentrating my productivity on achieving my goals.”

PRACTICE ASSESSMENT + ROADMAP

The best place to start.

This is for anyone who feels like they’ve hit a wall—or is just tired of guessing. It’s a low-commitment, high-clarity engagement designed to give you insight, direction, and a real plan.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A detailed map of what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus

  • Clear opportunities and blind spots

  • A prioritized roadmap of next steps

If you’ve been saying, “I know I need to do something, but I’m not sure what,” this is for you.

CLARITY TO CONVERSION

Messaging & Channel Strategy

You know what you do, the value you really provide. It just turns out that sometimes that isn’t the easiest thing to communicate to get the outcomes you want.

This is where your ideas become effective communication. We shape you understand what makes you different, how to communicate to the right folks and how to approach all your potential channels for efficiency and impact. You walk away with a refreshed story, a clear structure, and an actionable content rhythm that supports your goals.

You’ll get:

  • Brand positioning framework

  • Voice, tone, and messaging strategy

  • Copy outlines for key pages (Home, About, Services, etc.)

  • Content and outreach rhythm (email, blog, social, newsletter)

  • Channel strategy to match your goals and energy

Ideal when:

  • Your messaging is outdated, scattered, or unclear

  • You’re in transition or refining your audience/offering

  • You have traffic or attention, but it’s not converting

  • You want to do more with the site, list, or content channels you already have

PRACTICE RESET

A full overhaul for those who are ready to evolve their practice and stop taking whatever happens to come their way.

Whether you’ve outgrown your old brand, pivoted direction, or need to rework how your business fits your life now, this process re-aligns your foundation and equips you with the tools to move forward intentionally.

You’ll get:

  • Full Assessment & Roadmap

  • Positioning & Messaging framework

  • Offer & service model restructuring

  • Lead generation strategy

  • Channel, outreach, and content plan

  • Web messaging strategy + copy map

Ideal when:

  • Your work has changed, but your business hasn’t caught up

  • You’re tired of chasing tactics and want to get strategic

  • You know what you want more of—but aren’t sure how to attract it

  • You’re preparing to level up pricing, positioning, or client base

Who This is For:

We work with creative humans, independent professionals and small business owners who:
Are great at their craft but need to reach a more aligned community.

Want clearer focus, and a sustainable roadmap to follow.

Want structure and clarity—without feeling boxed into a rigid model.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
