For digital agencies

Your service menu grew faster than the specialist team.

For full-service and channel-led agencies balancing sales momentum against a finite production team.

Your agency keeps the client and the strategy. We do the work under your name.

The short answer

How can a digital agency add a marketing team?

A digital agency keeps pricing and client leadership while a senior strategist owns the plan for the work we run and specialists deliver it.

The useful model starts with one constrained account, names every handoff and protects the agency from direct solicitation or unapproved cross-selling.

The account is rarely missing ideas. It is missing the next technically competent person who can ship the landing page, clean the campaign or finish the report without creating another management job.

Start where the account is already straining.

Do not hand off the whole service menu because a proposal says “integrated.”

Pick the backlog that is missing deadlines, consuming senior review time or requiring a specialist you cannot justify hiring yet.

The first scope should be boringly clear: which account, which channel, which artefacts leave the team, who approves them and what remains with your strategist.

Keep one story in front of the client.

A senior LOKAL strategist owns the plan for the work we run, built on your agency’s commercial context.

The plan records dependencies so paid, search, content and web work support the same account priorities.

We never face your clients. Your agency owns the relationship and communication; LOKAL prepares recommendations and reporting for your team to review and present.

Before you choose

Criteria that survive the sales call.

Use these tests on the work in front of you, not on a generic list of services.

  1. A real production gap

    There is repeatable work with a clear standard, not merely a hope that someone else will rescue an undefined account.

  2. An agency-side decision maker

    One person can settle priority, approvals and client narrative when several channels compete for attention.

  3. Room for QA

    The commercial model pays for review, correction and account memory rather than treating every artefact as the cheapest possible unit.

  4. A protected account

    Ownership, communication, data and post-termination rules are agreed before client access is shared.

Read the edges

Limitations.

  • Your agency supplies the commercial context and approves the plan. The strategist builds the plan for the work in scope around that information.
  • Availability is confirmed per discipline and start date; a broad capability list is not a promise of unlimited simultaneous work.

Common questions

Questions worth settling first.

Pressure-test the decision on one real account.

Can we use LOKAL for only one channel?

Yes. A narrow first scope is often easier to evaluate than a bundled relationship. Other channels can remain with your team or existing suppliers.

Who talks to the client?

We never face your clients. Your agency owns the relationship and communication; LOKAL prepares recommendations and reporting for your team to review and present.

Can the scope expand after the pilot?

Yes, after the first workflow shows the real brief, QA and management load. Any added discipline receives its own owner, scope and fee.

Do we have to work exclusively with LOKAL?

No. There is no exclusivity requirement. You choose the people and partners your agency needs, and the written arrangement defines the work and the account-protection rules.

Who sets the resale price?

Your agency does. LOKAL works on one retainer per partner, from USD 2,000 a month. What you charge your client is yours to decide.

Who owns the plan?

Your agency sets the strategy for each client. Our senior strategist owns the plan for the work we run inside it, using the commercial context you supply, and your team approves that plan before specialists start.
