The Problem with 'Done For You' Marketing

Let’s be honest—most agencies are incentivised to keep you dependent. Their revenue depends on you running more ads, increasing your spend, and sticking with the service long-term. That’s not necessarily bad… but it’s rarely in your best interest.

At Hedgehog, we don’t offer managed services. We don’t profit from you running Google Ads or boosting Facebook posts. If it’s not working, we’ll tell you. We don’t lose out if you turn something off—in fact, we’ll probably help you do it.

What 'Done With You' Actually Looks Like

Our approach is simple: we teach, support, and guide you through the core digital marketing tasks your business needs. Whether it’s strategy, coaching, training, or implementation—we’re in it with you.

You’ll get access to real marketing expertise without the jargon or smoke and mirrors. We help you understand what matters, what’s working, and what to do next.

How ‘Done With You’ Marketing Builds Smarter Businesses

Instead of locking you into long-term retainers or holding your data hostage, we give you the keys. You learn the why behind your marketing—not just the what. That way, even when you’re not working with us, you can still make smart decisions.

One client put it best in our testimonials:

“Hedgehog helped us understand our digital marketing like never before. I now feel like I know where every dollar is going—and why.”

That confidence is priceless.

Done With You: The Marketing Model That Puts You in Control

The small business world is full of noise: social ads, SEO promises, influencer deals. It’s overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure which channels are worth it. That’s where our independence is powerful.

Because we don't run managed ad campaigns, we’re not tied to any specific outcome. 

• We’ll tell you if SEO isn’t a fit. 
• We’ll help you pause ads that aren’t converting. 
• We’ll show you where to shift focus because it’s best for you—not our bottom line.

Marketing Support That Builds Capability – Not Dependence

Marketing shouldn’t feel like a mystery. It shouldn’t rely on one person (or agency) having the password to your business growth. We work with you to build sustainable, scalable skills you can take with you.

Our clients love that they walk away with both results and capability. Just read what Accelerate Automotive had to say about how we helped them confidently run their own campaigns—or how Visions used our model to build internal confidence and grow sustainably.

Is 'Done With You' Right for You?

If you’re a small or medium business owner who wants to:

• Understand what your marketing is doing
  
  
• Build skills that last beyond an agency retainer
  
  
• Get practical, honest, and independent advice
  
  
• Move from marketing confusion to marketing confidence
  
  

Then this approach is for you.

It’s especially powerful for those who have tried the ‘set and forget’ agency route… and were disappointed.

FAQ

Q: What if I don’t have any marketing experience?
A: That’s exactly why our model works. We start at your level and work with you every step of the way.

Q: Will I need to do everything myself?
A: No—our support, coaching and training models give you as much (or as little) guidance as you need.

Q: Do you manage my ads, SEO, or emails?
A: No. We teach you how to do these, help you hire the right people, or work alongside your existing team.

Q: What makes you different from an agency?
A: We don’t profit from ongoing service delivery. That means we’re 100% focused on what works for your business—not what keeps us on retainer.
