in work. Nothing to pay.

Your business works. Your brand does not show it. We are covering the cost of fixing that for owner-led businesses in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

There is a reason we are doing this. We tell you at the bottom of the page.


The real problem

You did not outgrow your ambition. You outgrew your brand.

The website was built when you were smaller. The logo was a placeholder that stayed. The messaging still describes a business you moved past two years ago.

Nothing is broken enough

None of it fails outright. All of it quietly costs you. A buyer forms a view of your business in seconds, and that view is out of date.

So it drops below the line

You know what needs doing. It slips every year because something is more urgent. Payroll. Stock. Tax. The thing on fire this week.

That is the line we remove

We are taking the cost out of the decision, so it stops being the thing you postpone.

What this is

$25,000 of our own work, put into businesses ready to grow.

Not a loan. Not a discount. Not a giveaway dressed up as a pitch.

01

The work is the award

No money changes hands. You receive branding, a website, content, or whatever your business actually needs, built by us at our expense.

02

Built and handed over

Selected businesses get it delivered and handed over properly. You own it, you can run it, and you are not tied to us afterwards.

03

You pay nothing

Awards run from $500 to $2,500 per business. Third party costs such as domains, hosting and ad spend sit with you.

Who this is for

Established businesses. Not startups.

Miss any one of these and it is not the right programme. Applying anyway wastes your time and ours.

01

$100,000 or more in annual revenue

02

Two or more years trading

03

Based in Canada, the United States or the United Kingdom

04

You are the decision maker, or you can commit the business

05

You are willing to be a case study once the work is done

Who it is not for

We do not accept these.

No judgement attached. These sectors do not fit what we build or how we want to be known.

Branding, marketing, web and consulting agencies Gambling and betting Adult content Tobacco and vaping Payday and high interest lending Speculative crypto and trading schemes
The trade

You pay nothing. You are not receiving charity either.

Selected businesses commit to four things. That is the whole trade. We build your foundation, you tell people it worked.

01

A written testimonial

Within thirty days of handover.

02

Permission to show it

We display the work publicly and name the business.

03

A public review

Where we ask for one.

04

A referral

If the work is good.

And if it does not work, say that instead. An honest testimonial is worth more to us than a polite one.


How it works

Five moves, in this order.

apply

You apply

Five minutes. Tell us about the business and what is holding it back. Every field matters, so answer honestly rather than impressively.

read

We read it

Every application, by a person. Not a filter, not a score, not a form that quietly bins you.

talk

We talk

A real conversation about where your growth is stuck and what would actually move it. No pitch, no deck.

decide

We decide

Awards are based on what comes out of that conversation, not on how polished the application was.

build

We start

Work begins as soon as you are selected. No waiting list, no onboarding queue.

The dates

Fifty applications, then it closes.

The cap is real. We close at fifty whatever the date says. We would rather read fifty properly than four hundred badly.

Applications open12 October 2026
Applications close16 November 2026, or at fifty
Decisions announcedWeek of 30 November
Work beginsImmediately on selection
Closing the loop

So why are we giving away $25,000?

Because we are a growing agency with good work and not enough of it in public.

We could spend that money on ads nobody trusts. Or we could spend it building real things for real businesses, and let those businesses tell you whether we are any good.

We think the second one is worth more. To us and to you.

That is the catch. There is not a better one hiding behind it.

Five minutes. Every field matters, so answer honestly. We read all of them ourselves.

01

You will hear from us either way, and it will not be a template

02

Strong applicants who miss out are offered something useful anyway

03

Decided by Jude Iria and David Albert, together, after the call

We read every application ourselves and reply either way.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Is it really free?

Yes. You pay nothing for the work covered by your award. Third party costs such as domains, hosting and ad spend sit with you.

Do I get $25,000?

No. That is the total pool across every business we select. Individual awards run from $500 to $2,500.

What is the catch?

We need proof, and businesses willing to give it publicly. That is what you are trading.

What if I am not selected?

You will hear from us either way, and it will not be a template. Strong applicants who miss out are offered something useful anyway.

Can I apply from outside those three countries?

Not this round. Apply anyway and tell us where you are, and we will let you know when the next one opens.

Who decides?

Jude Iria and David Albert, together, after the consultation.

Fifty applications. Then it closes.

If your brand is holding your business back, this is the cheapest it will ever be to fix.
