It's not your talent that holds you back, it's your Systems. It's time to find your groove, so you can stay in the flow.
Imagine having a visual roadmap of your agency's workflow bottlenecks and a clear action plan to unlock at least 10 more hours of creative time each week—giving your team the breathing room they've been needing.

Sound familiar?
The creative energy that used to feel like freedom now feels like you’re one curveball away from spinning out of control.
Your team’s struggling with:
- Constantly juggling multiple client revisions and feedback across different projects
- Creative directors spending more time in status meetings than doing creative work
- Project profitability tanking because of scope creep and poor time tracking
- Team burnout from last-minute rushes and weekend work to meet deadlines
- Struggling to scale beyond the founding team's personal systems and workflows

If you complete deliverables on time, it’s typically through an effort that zaps your team’s creativity and pushes them toward burnout. You know you can’t go on like this much longer.
That’s where we step in.
We believe in a world where all businesses have reliable systems they can count on for results again and again.
Instead of scrambling to get tasks done, winging client communication, and relying on trial and error to find technology that works—we help businesses create a thriving operation where predictability, automation, and consistency are at the forefront.
One design studio we worked with doubled their project capacity while cutting revision rounds in half—all while maintaining their boutique client experience. Creative freedom comes from having the right foundation.
We won’t offer you rigid processes that feel too corporate for your creative agency. Instead, we’ll work with you to craft flexible systems that actually support your unique creative approach.
This might include:
- A functional update of your business management software (think client management, project organization, invoice processing, and potential client pipelines) to take more admin work off your plate and free you up to be the creative genius.
- Automation for the right systems so simple processes are on autopilot, and you can use your brain to pursue innovation and create the unimaginable.
- A long-term vision of how to set up your business to be scalable as your growth and success continue!
- … and more!
Your agency is burning through talent, money, and energy—and we know why.
The Systems & Audit Strategy Package unpacks every phase of your client experience and team procedures.
We leave no stone unturned to ensure every kink in the pipeline gets unfurled, and every bump in the road gets smoothed out—we look at things like: defining a strategic tech stack of softwares that support your team (instead of giving them one more thing to learn), documenting your operations in easy-to-follow SOPs, saving time with reliable automations that you know how to tweak if you need to, plus long-term goal planning and a down-to-the-very-last-task implementation roadmap.
We'll build smooth-running systems that handle the details so your team can focus on what they do best—creating work that wins clients.
What we can do for your Creative Agency:
Reclaim 8-12 hours every week by streamlining client feedback and revision processes
Transform chaotic project handoffs into smooth transitions with simple creative briefs that actually get used
End budget overruns with project tracking that creatives actually want to use
Maintain your agency's unique voice and vision while bringing new team members up to speed in days, not months
Create space for the “higher tier work” that keep your team engaged and attracts your dream clients
What Our Clients Say
“Caitlyn is amazing at helping you get the back end of your business set-up for success. She provides creatively solutions and makes your dream a reality. In our time working together, I’ve loved how I can tell her what I'm looking for and she can provide me with alternative ways of doing things. I don't know what I don't know -- so it's so helpful."
“Caitlyn is a thorough, proactive, and detail-oriented communicator. This is *huge* for me as a busy entrepreneur. In every touchpoint, she makes things easy for me, which is a skill many providers don't have and never learn. It's invaluable.”
“Working with Caitlyn elevates and expands any business! Since working with Caitlyn I have been able to successfully implement processes that were on my "to do list" for ages. One such example is my regular nurturing communication. I had a dormant list for years before Caitlyn came along and she quickly identified and organized a process for me to communicate to my audience. This has created deeper client relationships as well as sales I would not have gotten had it not been for this process. This is one specific example of her company's ability to organize, expand and enhance the marketing strategy and business processes of a business. I highly recommend working with Caitlyn if you desire business structure, process and growth.”
“My overall experience with Caitlyn and Upwell Strategies has been beyond expectations. Every time I jump on a call with her, I know we are going to be productive. What I've liked most is the reliability. Not all small businesses are created equal, and Caitlyn really is a cut above the rest. She's a high-performer with emotional intelligence & business acumen. She's the total package. I'm really fortunate she's made space for my business needs; I'm stronger with her.”
