#1: Great Ideas Don't Take Months
You Don’t Need Months to Get to Good
You just need the right people, pointed at the right problem, with nothing in the way.
Traditional agency timelines are bloated by design. Three weeks for a brief. Two for “alignment.” Four more to develop work that still gets gutted in the first internal review.
And that’s all before a client ever sees anything.
Why does it take so long?
Because most agencies are built around a system of internal inefficiency:
- Junior teams that need rounds of rewriting and reworking
- Layer upon layer of review from people with competing priorities
- Departments more focused on justifying headcount than making the work better
- Misaligned incentives that reward hours billed, not ideas shipped
When you hire a traditional agency, you’re not just buying creative thinking. You’re funding a bureaucracy - most of which is built to protect itself, not your brand.
At Beers With Friends, we do it differently.
Our process is built to move fast because it’s built to stay lean. Fewer people. Senior talent only. All pointed in the same direction. No one’s managing up. No one’s playing politics. Everyone’s focused on solving the problem in front of us. And making the work as good as it can be.
We don’t need weeks of ramp-up or handholding. Our team gets in, gets aligned, and gets going. Because when you work with people who’ve done this before, and done it well, you don’t need time to figure it out. You need time to make it great.
And you shouldn’t have to pay for an agency’s operational model that wasn’t designed for your challenge in the first place.
With Beers With Friends, you get exactly what you need:
Top talent. Total focus. No bloat. No strings attached.
Because you don’t need months to get to good.
You just need five days and the right people in the room.
