Most teams don't need more marketing. They need better decisions and a cleaner operation.

Mercer Franklin works at different depths depending on what the situation requires — from a single focused day to a fully managed content operation. Every engagement is built around the same premise: reach the buyers already in market, with precision, and let it compound.

Ongoing Retainer

Marketing Advisory.

The firm's core engagement. A senior marketing partner embedded in your operation — not a consultant who delivers a deck and disappears. This is the engagement for teams that need continuous strategic coverage: channel decisions, message architecture, budget allocation, and the judgment to know which problems are worth solving first.

What's included
  • Ongoing strategic direction across paid, owned, and earned channels.
  • Message architecture and positioning review.
  • Budget allocation and channel prioritization.
  • In-market buyer targeting aligned to your ICP.
  • Weekly or bi-weekly sessions, async availability.
  • Direct involvement in high-stakes decisions and launches.
Content Engagements

Two ways to engage on content, depending on how much you want to own.

One engagement hands the operation to Mercer Franklin entirely. The other gives your team the system, the framework, and the 90-day roadmap to run it well on their own.

Done For You

Managed Content Operations.

A fully managed content operation built around the buyers your strategy identified. Mercer Franklin runs editorial strategy, production, distribution, and visibility across search and AI surfaces. Three tiers available — Foundation, Growth, and Strategic — sized to volume and depth of involvement.

  • Strategy, production, and distribution included.
  • Visibility across traditional search and AI surfaces.
  • 90-day initial commitment, then month-to-month.

Done With You

Content Strategy & System Architecture.

A 14-day engagement that gives your team the system, the framework, and the roadmap to produce precision content at scale — without expanding headcount. Voice profile, content architecture, editorial standards, operator training, and a 90-day roadmap. Your team runs the operation; Mercer Franklin builds the machine.

  • Delivered in 14 days from kickoff.
  • Voice profile, templates, and operator manual.
  • Post-handoff support included.

Bounded Engagements

Defined scope. Defined output. No ongoing commitment required.

These engagements are built for teams that need focused work on a specific problem — not a retainer. Each one is scoped, time-limited, and delivers a concrete output your team can act on immediately.

Strategic Engagement

Growth Architecture.

A structured engagement that maps your current growth system — what's working, what's wasted, and where the highest-leverage opportunities are. Delivers a prioritized growth plan your team can execute against, not a list of generic recommendations.

  • Full audit of current channels and spend.
  • ICP and in-market buyer analysis.
  • Prioritized growth roadmap with rationale.

Focused Sprint

Strategy Sprint.

A compressed, high-output engagement for teams with a specific strategic question that needs a clear answer fast. Positioning, channel, message, launch — one problem, fully worked. Delivered in days, not weeks.

  • Single focused strategic question.
  • Research, analysis, and recommendation.
  • Delivered with full supporting rationale.

Special Engagement

One Day Workshop.

A full working day with your leadership team. We work through your most pressing marketing problem together — live, in the room, with a written output at the end. Best for teams that learn by doing and want the decision made, not delegated.

  • Full-day working session on-site or remote.
  • Structured agenda built around your problem.
  • Written output and next steps delivered same day.
