Grow the agency
without carrying it alone.
We're Anique and Leah.
We support fast-growing agency founders when the work is strong, but too much still depends on you — decisions, quality, team dynamics, and momentum.
Meet Anique + Leah
We came together because we kept seeing the same thing: founders doing meaningful work, leading with heartand, quietly burning out under the weight of it.
Anique brings the reflective, expansive lens through the questions that help you see what's really going on beneath the surface.
Leah brings the structural, operational lens, and the clarity that turns insight into clean action. Together, we hold both sides: the inner work of leadership and the outer work of building something that runs without depending on one person.
Anique
If you're carrying a lot right now — holding the vision, the quality, and the emotional weight of the agency — you're not alone.
I'm here for the moments where growth is real, and so is the pressure. We'll slow things down just enough to get honest, find clarity, and choose what's next.
I’m a Growth Strategist and leadership coach, supporting founders, senior leaders, and teams at the intersection of creativity and clarity. I blend deep listening, facilitation, somatic awareness, and practical strategy to help people navigate change, build self-awareness, and choose what’s next, especially in the tension of growth.
Leah Zalinski
If things feel messy operationally, roles, decisions, delivery, priorities, I've got your back.
I'm here to help you turn complexity into clear rhythms, clean ownership, and a way of working that doesn't rely on you being everywhere at once.
As a fractional operations leader and growth strategist, I bring clarity and structure to large, complex programs, whether that’s scaling high-growth agency operations or leading cross-functional digital initiatives. I work alongside leadership teams to accelerate growth, streamline operations, and prepare for what’s next as they scale.

When what got you here won’t get you there
Growth changes the job.
If you’re here, it might be because the agency is thriving — but the way it runs still relies heavily on you.
Not because your team isn’t capable. But because the next stage asks for a different kind of structure than the one that got you here.
This can look like:
You’re at (or near) capacity — with no real space left to think.
The work looks great externally, but internally it takes hands-on management to keep things steady.
Decisions and quality still travel upward — back to you.
“Yes” keeps spreading the team thin, and delivery starts to feel reactive.
If any of that felt uncomfortably familiar, you’re in the right place.
Always with, not for.
We don't do expert-from-on-high.
We work with you. That means the strategy is real, the leadership is honest, and the way your agency runs stops depending on you being everywhere at once.
Think of us as a steady, warm thought-partner who can hold the complexity with you, and help you translate it into clarity, ownership, and momentum.
What gets lighter in the next 90 days
Decisions stop travelling upward for you to handle, and ownership becomes clear across the team.
Your leaders get better at feedback, tension, and accountability (without losing the care).
Roles, expectations, and "who decides what" get cleaner.
You get energy back, because you're no longer holding everything.
How it works
We start by hearing what's true from you, your team, and the agency as a system. Not what should be true. Not what looks good on paper.
Then we translate that reality into clear priorities, clean ownership, and leadership habits that hold under pressure, so momentum doesn't depend on you pushing it through.
We're warm, direct, and practical. You'll leave conversations with relief and clear next steps.
Ways we can support you
Some people start small. Some want the full journey. We'll help you choose what fits.
The Growth Map
Strategic clarity on what's happening now, what's constraining growth, and what to focus on next — so priorities feel grounded and shared.
A leadership development container for how you lead under pressure. Focus on ownership, feedback, conflict, decision-making, and follow-through.
Empowered Leadership Journey
A combined strategy + leadership container that gives you a clear 90-day Growth Map and builds the shared ownership to carry it—so decisions stop bottlenecking and momentum moves through the whole team.
The Integrated Journey
What Growing Leaders Are Saying
"The outcome feels really coherent with everything we've been thinking about… it’s not only implementable, but feels truly like it comes from within your organisation."
— Rachita, Co-Founder at SisterhoodThe time that we get to spend together is such a breath of fresh air and the focused, intentional time we get to focus on Cooth and what matters to us in the long term is extremely helpful."
— Courtney, Founder, Cooth"How you were able to take what we were saying and distill it into our Growth Strategy means you understand how organizations work, and the value you place on relationships between founders was incredibly impressive."
— Mary Hurd, Co-Founder at Haavn"We’re now forecasting reliably and have good, sound processes in place. The foundation you’ve created is something we can continue to build off moving forward for ultimate success.”
— Dan Sbordone, DEPT Agency“Having trusted advisors to navigate the messy reality of growth made all the difference."
— Marisa Schulz, Principal + Cofounder at All Together"What Anique and Leah suggested was just so in tune to our current situation. We were able to really step into action straight away. And that's such a freeing thing to be able to do if you are currently feeling the growing pains of being a leader right now and you are really looking for focus and freedom."
— Rebecca, Co-Founder, SisterhoodWe’re looking forward to meeting you!
You can expect a real conversation, grounded in connection.
We'll ask what's heavy, what's working, and what you're trying to protect as the agency grows.
If there's a fit, we'll talk about the best next step.
If there isn't, we'll say so — and still try to leave you with something useful.
