tf @Scale · A team on tap
A full team, at a fraction of the cost.
tf @Scale gives a scaling business a full, senior team - product, strategy, development, marketing and design - run as one workstream. All the capability you need to grow, at a fraction of what it costs to build in-house or brief out to an agency.
Full capability, made affordable.
What it is
A full team, without the overhead.
tf @Scale is not a retainer of hours or a queue of briefs. It's a standing, senior team - product, strategy, development, marketing and design - run as one continued workstream and pointed at your growth.
Elastic by design: the team is tailored to exactly what you need and scales with you as that grows - dedicated capability, sized right, without the cost of carrying it full-time.
The cost moves the same way. Hiring scales in steps, because a role is a whole salary whether you needed all of it this quarter or not, and the gap between what you are paying for and what you are using is the expensive part. Here the cost tracks the team, and the team tracks the work.
Fractional, not part-time
A full senior team - the seniority you couldn't justify hiring full-time, without the headcount or the six-month runway to build it.
Costs that scale, not step
The team is sized to exactly what you need and grows as you do, and what you pay follows it. No bench to carry between projects, and no paying for a whole role in a quarter that only needed part of one.
One continued workstream
Product, strategy, development, marketing and design run as one aligned stream - not five vendors and the coordination tax of stitching them together.
Who it's for
For the launched, and the scaling.
tf @Scale is for scaling businesses that have launched and need to keep moving - dedicated, consistent momentum, not the stop-start of brief-by-brief. Usually the alternative on the table is hiring, and hiring is the higher-risk option: a senior appointment is a long search, a real salary from day one, months before they are useful, and a genuine problem if the fit turns out wrong. This carries none of that, and delivers the same work.
- You're growing, and the roadmap keeps outpacing the team.
- You need senior capability across five disciplines, and hiring five people for it is neither affordable nor fast.
- You have been burned by a senior hire that took six months to land and did not stay.
- You want agency-grade work, without agency rates.
The same team, either way.
The obvious worry about a fractional model is that you get the second string. You don't. tf @Scale is staffed from the same bench as our project work, held to the same standards and reviewed the same way - the difference is how the time is bought, not who is doing it or how well.
How it works
One team, tuned to your scale.
Tailor
We build the team around you
We assemble a fractional squad tailor-fit to your needs across product, strategy, development, marketing and design - the exact mix your business needs.
Embed
One continued workstream
The squad embeds and runs as one aligned stream, structured to feel like one of your own - not a set of disconnected briefs handed over the wall.
Cadence
Always-on comms
A dedicated Slack channel, a direct line to account strategy and weekly operational syncs keep every discipline moving in the same direction.
Commit
Commit long-term, rates drop
Commit for the long term and we cut our rates by up to 25%, landing well below what an agency would charge. The economics work because the velocity does.
Premium support
A team that works like your own.
Premium support is how every tf @Scale engagement runs, rather than a tier you upgrade into. An embedded team has to be visible to be trusted, so the point of all of this is that you can always see where the work is without having to ask.
Dedicated Slack channel
A direct, always-on line to your squad. No tickets, no queue - just the team, in the room with you.
Direct line to account strategy
Senior strategic direction on tap, not buried behind a project manager. The people steering the work are a message away.
Weekly operational syncs
A standing weekly rhythm that keeps every discipline aligned and the workstream moving as one.
A shared tracker
The board the squad actually works off, open to you. Every ticket, its owner and its state, visible without a status meeting - which is what stops an embedded team from being a box you cannot see into.
One workstream
Five disciplines. One direction.
Product, strategy, development, marketing and design, aligned as a single continued workstream - so the work compounds instead of colliding.
Product
Roadmap, priorities and the calls that shape what gets built.
Strategy
Commercial direction that keeps the work pointed at outcomes.
Development
Engineering that ships at pace, without breaking trust.
Marketing
Campaigns and growth that keep the momentum visible.
Design
Experience and craft that make all of it land.
The exchange
Commit to the long game.We cut the rate.
tf @Scale trades short-term flexibility for long-term partnership. Sign on for the long haul and we cut our rates - by up to 25%, depending on term - on top of pricing that already beats most agencies. You get a full, senior team and dedicated strategic direction; we get the runway to go deep on your business. The economics work because the velocity does.
Launched, and building?
