LIVE MARKETING WORKSHOP

HOW TO BUILD A MARKETING ENGINE THAT ACTUALLY PRODUCES

Two days at Acquisition HQ. We show you the marketing system we use across our portfolio, then we sit down with you and diagnose where YOUR chain is leaking. You leave with 3-5 personalized assets ready to deploy, not "ideas to try later."

/ THE GAP

THERE'S A MASSIVE
HOLE IN HOW MARKETING
GETS TAUGHT.
MAIN STREET
IS PAYING FOR IT.

On the low end you've got a flood of surface-level content geared toward solopreneurs and people just starting out. Useful if you're at zero. Useless if you're running a real business.

On the high end, Fortune 500 companies are paying agencies and consulting firms millions a year to build out their marketing. They can afford it. They're fine.

For businesses doing $1M to $100M in revenue, there's almost nothing tactical. The people teaching marketing publicly mostly haven't scaled or sold real companies. They teach tactics. Not where to put them.

That's the gap we built this workshop to close.

/ THE RIGHT QUESTION

MOST OWNERS THINK
MARKETING IS
ONE THING.
IT'S NOT.

Marketing is a chain. Five links. The weakest one decides what the whole thing produces.

01 /
OFFER
02 /
MESSAGE
03 /
CREATIVE
04 /
MEDIA
05 /
FUNNEL & MEASUREMENT

You can have the best ad in the world. If the offer behind it is mushy, you'll burn cash. You can have a killer offer. If the hook in front of it is forgettable, no one ever sees the offer. You can nail both. If the funnel is confusing, the lead never books. You can fix all of that. If you can't see "did this content lead to a sale," you're flying blind.

That's not a "you" problem. That's a map problem.

/ THE COST OF GUESSING

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
WHEN OWNERS FIX THE
WRONG LINK IN THE CHAIN.

$90,000
On an agency retainer.
90 days later the agency blamed his offer. The real problem was the offer the whole time. He paid them to find out.
14 MONTHS
A/B testing the same winning ad.
Meta Andromeda groups it as one entity. 30 variations count as one ad. He kept iterating on a hook the algorithm had already deprioritized.
5, THEN 0
Deals in March. Then April.
Hot and cold months killing his hiring plans and cash flow. Nobody on his team could tell him why one month worked and the next didn't.

They didn't have a map. So they fixed whatever felt tangible. And burned cash doing it.

The other version of this is worse. Owners running on referrals and word of mouth, calling that a marketing strategy. That's not a strategy. That's a coin flip with a credit card bill.

/ BUILT FOR

DEMAND-CONSTRAINED
OPERATORS WHO
COULD HANDLE MORE
CUSTOMERS THAN
THEY HAVE.

  • Doing $1M to $100M in revenue
  • Marketing that runs hot and cold by month
  • Burned by agencies who blamed your offer
  • Watching competitors ship 50 creatives while you ship 5
/ NOT FOR

ANYONE LOOKING
FOR MARKETING
THEORY OR HYPE.

  • Pre-revenue or idea-stage founders
  • "I want to learn marketing" tourists
  • Tactics-only seekers with no business to apply it to
  • Anyone unwilling to deploy what we build with you
  • People looking for a conference to take notes at
/ HOW THE TWO DAYS WORK

YOU WALK IN
WITH A CONSTRAINT.
YOU WALK OUT
WITH THE ASSETS.

01
THE MARKETING ENGINE
Day one. We break down the marketing engine end to end. How we scale content using AI cheaper than ever. How we pick topics so we never have to ask "what should we post today?" How we attribute sales across platforms. How we turn content into paid ads that print. And how we structure the team behind all of it. By the end of day one you'll see your own marketing as a chain instead of a list of random tactics.
02
BUILD WITH OUR DIRECTORS
Day two. You meet our directors in small groups, grouped by revenue size. $1M with $1M. $3M with $3M. $10M with $10M. Our surveys tell us this is MORE valuable than 1-on-1, because you get your questions answered AND you learn from the questions other owners at your size are asking. Director of Longs. Director of Shorts. Director of Paid Ads. Director of Content. Plus a few more operators responsible for tens of millions in revenue.
03
LEAVE WITH THE ASSETS
We dig into your business. Your offer. Your numbers. Your funnel. Your ads. We diagnose where the chain is broken for YOU. Then we hand you 3-5 personalized action items. A clarified offer. A new hook bank. A topic strategy. Ad angles to test. A landing page rewrite. A follow-up sequence. Whatever your bottleneck is, you leave with the asset that fixes it, plus the playbook to keep producing more of them.
/ THE ON-CAMERA OBJECTION

"I DON'T WANT TO BE
THE FACE OF MY
COMPANY."

Fair. A lot of the owners who come to us feel exactly that way. Good news: you don't have to be. There are two ways to build a marketing engine and both work.

Path one: personal brand. You're the face. You're the voice.

Path two: lifecycle content. Your customers become the proof.

We do path two in a bunch of our portfolio companies where the founder doesn't want to be on camera. You film the customer journey. The before. The during. The after. The business produces all the creative it needs for paid ads and organic without the founder ever being in frame. With AI, it's never been easier to produce.

Both paths feed the algorithm. Both paths get cited by AI search. Both paths produce the creative diversity Andromeda rewards. We help you pick the one that fits you.

Same skill you learned when you had to figure out hiring. Or ops. Or sales. You weren't a recruiter or an operator when you started. You learned because the business needed you to. This is the same thing.

/ HOSTS · OPERATORS, NOT COACHES

YOU SIT NEXT TO
THE PEOPLE WHO
RUN OUR MARKETING.

Some of our directors make $300K, $500K, even $1M+ a year. If you're a local business, you probably don't have access to talent at that level. Even if you're national, you might not be at the point where you can responsibly put someone like that on payroll yet.

The arbitrage of the workshop is concentrated time with that level of operator at a fraction of what it would cost to hire them. You sit down with them and work through your most pressing marketing problems. Asking questions along the way.

/ DAY ONE

THE MARKETING ENGINE

Live walkthrough of the 5-link chain we use across our $250M/yr portfolio. Offer. Message. Creative. Media. Funnel and measurement. By the end of session one you'll see your own marketing as a system instead of a list of random tactics. Plus the lens to spot where the chain is leaking in every future review.

/ OPERATORS

THE ACQ DIRECTORS

Director of Longs (one editor ships 140 long-form pieces per week). Director of Shorts (scaled short-form output without scaling headcount). Director of Paid Ads (one editor made 369 video ads in a single week). Director of Content (pulls the whole strategy together for local, national, and international businesses).

/ DAY TWO

LEAVE WITH THE ASSETS

By end of day two, you have 3-5 personalized action items ready to drop into your business. Personalized to your industry, your size, your constraint. Plus the playbook to keep producing more of them after you go home.

/ CURRICULUM · 4 PILLARS · 2 DAYS · BUILT LIVE

WHERE MARKETING
ACTUALLY PAYS OFF
IN A BUSINESS.

01
CREATIVE
Meta Andromeda rewards creative diversity, not 30 versions of the same hook. We show you the system one editor on our team uses to ship 369 video ads in a single week. Another ships 140 long-form pieces a week. That kind of output used to require an army. AI and the right systems make it possible with a small team.
02
PAID
How we know within 48 hours if an ad will print before we scale spend. How we merge organic content into paid creative so the production engine feeds both. How we structure creative testing under Andromeda so we're not burning budget A/B testing one hook for the third week in a row.
03
ATTRIBUTION
Tracking changed. iOS changed. Multi-touch changed. If you can't see "did this content lead to a sale," you're flying blind. Most owners are flying blind right now and don't know it. We show you the attribution layer we use across our portfolio so you can finally see what's working.
04
CONTENT SYSTEM
How we pick topics so we never have to ask "what should we make content about?" How we structure the team behind the production engine. How owners who don't want to be on camera still produce all the creative they need through lifecycle content. The full operating system.

For YOUR business, only one of these is the right place to start. Maybe two. Picking the right one is the whole game. That's day one.

WHAT OPERATORS
SAY AFTER
TWO DAYS.

"

"My business partner convinced me we should attend this, so I wasn't sold. However, just a few hours into the first day I was completely sold. I started thinking about how we approach our business in a different way. Especially from the CEO standpoint and looking to increase our overall revenue. It was incredible!"

PATRICK JOHNSON
/ COMPLETELY SOLD
"

"The most valuable business workshop I've ever attended. Worth 10x the investment. As a military veteran, former Army recruiter, and someone who's been through countless trainings, including Landmark Education, leadership programs, and running workshops for over 1,000 students, I can confidently say the Scaling Up Workshop by Acquisition.com is the best I've ever attended."

FRANKLIN CRUZ
/ WORTH 10X THE INVESTMENT
"

"Just got out of the scaling workshop. My new constraint is how fast I can implement their advice. Every question, plus questions I didn't know I had, were answered with care and clarity. I literally have never had this much clarity. I truly loved this workshop."

We review applications daily. Average response time: 48 hours.

Why we cap it at 48: that's the most we can build alongside in two days without the room turning into a conference. Past that, the work stops being personalized and starts being a panel.

The call you're about to book runs about 15 minutes. We spend 5 minutes understanding the business so we know we can provide value. 5 minutes on your questions. 5 minutes locking in dates if it's a fit both ways.

/ FAQ · THE HONEST ANSWERS

FAQ

01 Should I come now or keep figuring marketing out on my own? +
Easiest way to think about it. Worst case, you keep working on whatever marketing thing you're already working on, it doesn't pan out, and a few weeks later you come out and we help you fix it. Best case, you actually figure it out on your own, you come out, and we give you the next level past that. Either way you win. Marketing is moving fast enough that whatever you're working on right now is going to look different in 90 days regardless. We're booked out a few months anyway. Lock the date, run your experiment in the meantime, come out either way.
02 I don't want to be on camera. Will this still work for me? +
Yes. A lot of the owners who come to us feel exactly that way. There are two ways to build a marketing engine: personal brand or lifecycle content. We do lifecycle content in a bunch of our portfolio companies where the founder doesn't want to be on camera. You film the customer journey instead, and the business produces all the creative it needs for paid and organic without the founder ever being in frame. We help you pick the path that fits you. Both feed the algorithm. Both get cited by AI search. Both produce the creative diversity Andromeda rewards.
03 I'm slammed this quarter. Can I push it? +
We're booked out a few months anyway, so whatever you're in the middle of is going to play out before you'd be here. The bigger issue is this: the assumption that you'll be less busy in a quarter is almost never true. You'll be busy then too. Different stuff, same problem. If you can fix the marketing engine during the busy season, the easy season feels like cheating. Two years from now, the businesses that got marketing right early will be in a different position than the ones that waited until they had time.
04 I'm already working with a marketing agency. Why come? +
If something about your marketing investment so far isn't producing the result you wanted, that has nothing to do with whether the agency you're working with is good at their job. It's an upstream problem. We see it constantly. Owner hires an agency. Agency runs the playbook they always run. Three months in, nobody can answer "which link in the chain is actually the problem?" Not because the agency is bad, they did what they were paid to do. The owner didn't have the framework to direct them at the right thing. That's what the workshop solves. If you're already working with an agency, the workshop makes them more valuable to you, not less. Now you can direct them at the right link in the chain.
05 My numbers aren't dialed in. Am I ready? +
Most companies at this stage don't have the marketing numbers they think they need. That's normal. Two things on that. One: we send you a prep packet before you come and we look at your numbers ahead of time. So we already have a working picture of the business before you walk in. Two: a big part of day one is the attribution layer. Tracking changed. iOS changed. Most owners are flying blind right now and don't know it. We'll show you how to fix that so you finally see what's working. "My numbers aren't dialed in" is a reason to come, not a reason to wait.
06 Will I be in a room with businesses way bigger or smaller than mine? +
You'll meet people across the whole room for networking. But the working sessions are matched. We pair you with businesses around your stage so the problems we're solving in your group are actually the problems you have right now.
07 What does the $5,000 actually cover? +
Everything except your flight. Two days of programming, all four pillars (creative, paid, attribution, content system), your workbook, every meal, dinner events, and small-group office hours with our directors.
08 Can I bring my co-founder or COO? +
Yes. Plus-one is $10,000 total. Most useful when you'll both be deploying what we build.
09 What's the refund policy? +
Tickets are non-refundable. We cap the room at 48 and turn down qualified applicants every cohort, so when you lock a seat we hold it for you. If something comes up and you can't make it, see the next question on rescheduling.
10 What if I have to cancel? +
Reschedule into any future cohort, no fee, for up to 12 months.

The cost of figuring this out yourself isn't zero. It's the months your competitors compound past you while you stand still.

While you A/B test the same ad for the third week in a row, theirs ships 50 distinct creatives a month that Andromeda rewards.
While your business is invisible to AI search, theirs gets cited every day to buyers researching your exact category.
While you live with hot-and-cold months, theirs has Monday-morning predictable lead flow.

Same market. Different map.

Whether you come out to the workshop or not, if you're a business owner, you're my people. I just know what happens when owners get the wrong marketing strategy at this stage. They burn cash. They burn a year. And they come out the other side more skeptical of marketing than they were when they started, which is the worst place to be in 2026.

We built this so that doesn't happen to you.
