We exist to solve one thing:
chaos inside creative agencies.

We’ve seen it too often:
Brilliant work, burned-out teams, slipping margin, and a founder stuck in every decision.
That’s not a talent problem.
It’s a system problem.

What we do is simple — but not easy.
We install the architecture most agencies never had:
- Systems that protect margin
- Delivery frameworks your team actually uses
- Upsell loops that don’t rely on outbound
- A founder role that’s finally strategic, not reactive
We’re not consultants with slides.
We’re not coaches with frameworks.
We’re a structure-led service firm, focused on helping creative agencies retain key clients, recover margin, and grow without burning out.
Who’s behind it
Vanessa Valera
Founder
I spent over 17 years inside agencies from global networks to boutique studios leading growth, building teams, and firefighting everything that wasn’t properly structured.
I wasn’t just in the room. I was the one fixing delivery chaos when clients were about to churn. I’ve led commercial strategies across markets, built cross-functional teams from scratch, and turned operations around while doubling revenue without burning anyone out.
In one of the toughest agency transitions I’ve faced, we changed how delivery was structured. The result? 100% client retention and x2 annual revenue during a crisis.
That’s when I stopped thinking in terms of talent or tools and started thinking in systems.
The Performance Engineering SWAT isn’t a methodology. It’s the architecture I wish we had built 10 years earlier.
I’m based in Paris and New York, and work with founders and teams around the world.
You’ve built something worth protecting.
Now let’s give it the structure it needs to grow.
