How we work

Marketing Examined works in content sprints for both client and in-house media. We break projects down into 30-day cycles, starting with strategy, moving into pre-production, and then executing at scale.

We’re a lean team that prioritizes results. We use tools like Slack, Notion, Frame.io, Google Workspace, and email, but ultimately—do what’s needed to get the job done.

We leverage our size as a strength, giving our team autonomy, creativity, and flexibility to build what they need. Processes exist to help you—if they don’t, break them and make something better.
