Trendline: Sprint

One sharp push, scoped before it starts. Not another retainer.

Sprint is for one need you've already defined, solvable in about 90 days: a launch, a revenue drop, a large one-off test. We scope it together, I quote it as one fixed project, then implement whatever it takes to get there, the campaigns, the tools, the AI agents, the acquisition, retention, or partnership channels, and I run it personally to a defined end point.

Free scope call. If what you need isn't actually a Sprint, I'll say so, and point you to what is.

Where you are right now

Not everything is a monthly cadence. Some things are just one push, done right.

"We're launching in six weeks and I need someone who's done this before, not another hire I have to train."
"Something broke: a campaign, a launch, a number nobody can explain, and I need it fixed now, not diagnosed over a quarter."
"I want to test one big, specific bet properly before I commit to anything ongoing."

The transformation

Where you are vs. where we'll take you.

Where you are

  • A defined need sitting unaddressed: a launch date approaching, a revenue drop you need to reverse, or a big bet nobody's tested
  • No dedicated capacity to run it without hiring or training someone new
  • Uncertainty about whether it's worth turning into an ongoing engagement at all

Where we'll take you

  • The specific push, scoped, quoted, and run to a defined end point
  • One operator executing it directly, no ramp-up, no management overhead
  • A day-90 debrief that tells you plainly whether to continue into Scale or Expand

Why it works

Three reasons this isn't another agency retainer.

01

One operator, start to finish

The person who scopes the call is the same person who runs the push and writes the close-out debrief. No ramp-up, no handoff to a junior team.

02

Every tactic tested before it reaches you

The campaigns, tools, and channels used on your Sprint have already been run, on my own portfolio of online businesses or inside a past client engagement.

03

Risk stays on my side first

The scope call itself is free. If Sprint isn't the right shape for what you need, I'll say so on that call, before any quote is written.

The program, in detail

Scoped, quoted, run, closed out.

01

Scope

A working call to define exactly what "done" looks like inside about 90 days (the launch date, the revenue drop to reverse, the test to run) and what's explicitly out of scope.

02

Quote

A fixed price and timeline for that specific scope, in writing, before anything starts. No hourly meter, no surprise add-ons.

03

Run

I implement whatever the scope calls for, campaigns, tools, AI agents, the right acquisition, retention, or partnership channels, with a single point of contact throughout. You're never chasing an update through a team.

04

Close out Day 90

A written debrief: what happened, what it means, and whether it put you on a good track worth continuing. Sprint is one-shot by design, but it's also, for some, the door into Scale or Expand next.

What we'll do

The 90 days, mapped out.

Week 1

Scope call. A fixed quote and timeline agreed in writing before anything starts.

Weeks 2–10

Implementation. Your growth pillars and go-to-market path are pinned down in the first 14 days, then campaigns, tools, AI agents, and the right channels get stood up, with a single point of contact throughout.

Day 90

Close-out debrief. Results reviewed, in writing, and whether it's worth continuing into Scale or Expand next.

What you get on Sprint

Everything itemized, before you commit to anything.

A written scope document: what's in, what's out, and what "done" means, agreed before the quote.

A fixed price and timeline for that scope. No hourly billing, no scope creep without a new quote.

Direct access to me for the duration, no account manager standing between you and the work.

AI-assisted execution, including AI agents where they speed up the work, without cutting the judgment calls that actually matter.

A written close-out debrief: what was done, what it moved, and what (if anything) is worth continuing.

Everything documented in Slack and shared docs, same as every other Trendline engagement.

For whom

Sprint is deliberately bounded.

Sprint fits if

  • You've already defined the specific need (a launch, a revenue drop, a large test) and just need it built and run
  • It's solvable inside a bounded window, roughly 90 days, not an ongoing need
  • You want one operator running it directly, not a team you have to manage
  • You're not ready for, or don't need, a monthly cadence

Look at Scale or Expand instead if

  • The real issue is ongoing: a missing North Star metric, a maxed-out channel, or under-activated customers, not a single bounded push
  • You want a standing weekly/monthly cadence, not a project with an end date
  • What you actually need is execution capability built into your team long-term

Who's running this

A quick word on me.

Alex, Growth Consultant and founder of Growth Wizards

I've spent 15+ years building and marketing online businesses, from a music blog and self-taught media buying, to co-founding a music-industry agency, to raising $3M for a festival-travel startup. I founded Growth Wizards in 2020, and today I split my time between running Trendline for clients and operating my own portfolio of online businesses valued at $15M (3x annual profit) and AI-driven digital products.

Portfolio

Every campaign, tool, or channel has already been run somewhere else first.

I don't experiment on your Sprint. What gets implemented has already been tested, on my own portfolio of online businesses valued at $15M (3x annual profit) or inside a past client engagement, before it ever reaches you.

Before you book

What people ask before starting a Sprint

How much does a Sprint cost?+
There's no fixed price. Every Sprint is scoped on a free call first, then quoted as a fixed project based on what's actually being built, fixed, or tested. Book the scope call and you'll have a number before anything starts.
What actually counts as a "Sprint"?+
A need you've already defined, solvable in about 90 days: a product or campaign launch, a revenue drop that needs reversing now, or a large, specific test, implemented through whatever mix of campaigns, tools, AI agents, or acquisition, retention, and partnership channels the scope calls for.
How long does a Sprint actually take?+
About 90 days, typically: long enough to implement properly and see whether it worked, short enough to stay a genuine one-shot rather than turning into an open-ended engagement.
Can a Sprint turn into Scale or Expand afterward?+
Only if the close-out debrief actually shows it's warranted. Sprint isn't a funnel into a retainer. Plenty of Sprints end exactly where they were scoped to end.
How fast can a Sprint start?+
As fast as the scope call and quote take to close, typically days, not weeks, since a Sprint is built for moments that can't wait on a long procurement cycle.

Ready when you are

Tell me the launch, the revenue drop, or the test. I'll tell you honestly if Sprint is the right shape for it.

Free, honest answer, even if it's "not a fit."

We were able to identify and activate the growth levers for our tool.

It resulted in a stable $25K MRR, and an extra 15% conversion rate on sale calls.

Alex really dug into our business, found the right tactics to help us achieve these results.

His AI optimization stack is impressive!

Record marketing-sourced revenue

Marketing and sales had been operating in completely separate worlds for years. Leads would get handed over with almost no context, and no one could tell which marketing efforts were actually contributing to closed deals. Alex built a system that finally connected the two. Every campaign is now tied to revenue outcomes, and we have clear visibility from first touch all the way to closed revenue. Marketing-sourced revenue is the highest it’s ever been, and the friction between the two teams has largely disappeared.

Alex mapped the entire customer journey, identified the broken handoffs, and fixed the gaps between awareness, consideration, and purchase. The result was dramatic: marketing-sourced revenue went from roughly 15% of total revenue to over 74%

Alex didn’t treat marketing like a series of campaigns, instead treated like a revenue system. He looked at the full picture: acquisition cost, conversion rates, average order value, and lifetime value.

After the overhaul, our cost per acquisition dropped 24% in 30 days while average order value increased.

The net result was significantly higher profit, not just higher top-line revenue. That level of strategic thinking is rare, and it’s exactly what we needed.

We took the Scale program after that!
