Imagination, Executed.
CCS is the creative execution studio for startup founders who are done waiting on agencies. Brand, web, business development, growth and finance — hire one department or the whole studio. Either way, you get senior work that ships.

What we do
Five departments.
Five departments.
One studio.
Ideas are everywhere. Execution is rare. CCS is the bridge — pick the discipline you need, or bring us in across the board. Every engagement is staffed with a small senior team. No layers. No handoffs. No junior work shipped under a partner's name.
02
Web & Product
Marketing sites, landing pages, MVPs, design systems and product UX work that turns interest into customers.
03
Business Development
Positioning, pricing, partnerships and pipeline strategy. We help founders find the next ten customers and the systems behind them.
04
Growth & Marketing
Acquisition, lifecycle, content and paid. Measurement-first work that compounds, paired with the creative to make it land.
05
Financial Strategy
Fractional CFO support, fundraising materials, financial models, unit economics and the boring spreadsheets that protect the upside.
How we work
A clear process, from week one.
Most engagements run as 4–12 week sprints, with optional retainers afterward. Done beats perfect. You always know where we are and what's next.
Diagnose
A short, paid discovery to map the real problem and the team needed to solve it.
Define
Scope, deliverables, timeline and the metric we'll measure success against.
Deliver
Weekly working sessions, async updates, shipped work — never just decks.
Embed
Optional retainer to keep us as an extension of your team after launch.
Client voices
What founders say.
The studio is built on long relationships. Most clients come back for a second or third engagement.
CCS rebuilt our brand and our pricing in the same engagement. It's the most useful $40k we've spent.
They felt like an in-house team that happened to be senior at every position. We've kept them on retainer ever since.
The financial model alone closed our seed round. The brand work made the next one easier.
We hired CCS for a landing page and ended up rebuilding the whole funnel. CAC is down 38%.
Questions
Common questions.
If you don't see your question here, just send us a note — we usually reply within a business day.
Can we hire just one department, or do we have to engage the whole studio?
Either works. Many clients start with one discipline — usually brand, web or financial strategy — and add others as they grow. We staff each engagement independently so there's no pressure to bundle.
What size companies do you work with?
Mostly midmarket startups — post-product, pre- or post-Series A — with a small team and a real revenue problem to solve. We occasionally take on earlier-stage founders we know well.
How much does an engagement cost?
Sprints typically run $18k–$80k depending on scope and disciplines involved. Retainers start at $9k/month. We send a fixed proposal after the discovery call.
How fast can you start?
Most projects kick off 2–4 weeks after the first call. Urgent work can sometimes start the following week if our team has capacity.
Do you work with non-US founders?
Yes — we work across LATAM and the US, in English and Spanish. Most calls happen in US Eastern or Central time, with async work in between.
Who actually does the work?
A small senior team. The people you meet on the kickoff call are the people doing the work — not a sales team handing you off to juniors after signing.
