Agency life is hard right now.

Rising costs, platform volatility, industry headwinds hitting entire client categories, staffing pressure. Closing an agency doesn't mean you failed. It means the math stopped working.

What matters now is how the ending goes for you and for the clients who trusted you.

What this actually is.

  • We're a Seattle-based agency, West Coast Content Company, that absorbs client relationships from agencies closing in social, paid media, and content.
  • We handle the transition end to end: client communication, data and account access, and continuity of service so nothing drops.
  • This is not an acquisition of your company. It's a handoff of client relationships, on your terms.

What this could mean for you.

Real, tiered outcomes, not vague promises. Depending on fit:

Referral compensation
A finder's fee or a percentage of first-year retainer value for clients that convert and stay.
Short-term transition consultant role
A paid engagement, typically two to four weeks, helping us onboard your clients smoothly, so you're not disappearing on them.
Clean exit, protected reputation
Your clients see a professional handoff, not a scramble. That matters for your name in the industry and any future work.
No further liability
Once handoff is complete, you're not fielding client fires while you're winding down everything else.

Exact terms depend on the situation and are worked out directly. This isn't a fixed program.
