Why Small is Smarter: The Case for Hiring lit(en)flame Over a Big-Box Agency

There are two kinds of marketing partners:

• Those who treat your business like a number, and

• Those who treat your business like the business.

At lit(en)flame, we choose the latter—every time.

Here's the Problem:

Big agencies love big retainers. And percentages. And setup fees. And long-term contracts. They’re built to scale themselves—not you. Behind the scenes, your campaign is often handed off to junior staffers juggling too many accounts. Optimization is monthly (if you’re lucky), and accountability is as thin as the slide deck they send once a quarter.

They win whether you grow or not.

Here’s What We Do Instead:

1. Flat Rate Pricing, No Strings

• Starting $600/month, per campaign. That’s it.

• No onboarding fees. No exit fees. No surprise billing. You control your ad spend, and we control what we can: results.

2. Weekly Optimization, Daily Engagement

• We don’t believe in “set it and forget it.” Every campaign we manage is tuned weekly for performance. And when you need us? You get us—no middlemen, no layers, just people who know your account like it’s their own.

3. We're Small on Purpose:

• We are currently onboarding only 5 new clients per month. This isn't a scarcity gimmick—it’s a capacity promise. We stay lean so we can stay sharp. No bloat. No burnout. Just high-touch service from senior strategists who actually care. The long-term business relationship is far more important to us than growing our own book of business.

4. Performance Obsessed

• If your bottom line improves, our relationship will too. That’s our entire business model. You win? We win by continuing to work together. It's that simple.

Who We Work With:

Our clients range from startups and mental health clinics to advocacy orgs, franchises and trade associations, video games and more. What unites them?

They’re growth-focused and tired of bloated, slow-moving agencies that charge like consultancies but deliver like interns.
