Today's conditions — checking the lineup…
What we do
Four things, done properly
No 40-service menu, no upsell maze. We design, we build, we rank, we write — and we're honest about which one you actually need.
The agency Nick wished existed when he was on the other side of the table.
No churn
Month-to-month engagements. If the work stops earning its keep, you should be free to leave — that keeps us sharp.
No jargon
Reports a human can read in four minutes. If we can't explain a recommendation simply, we haven't finished thinking about it.
Answer the phone
You get the people doing the work, not an account layer. Calls start at 9:30 — dawn patrol is non-negotiable.
The work
Results you can measure from the parking lot
Composite snapshots of typical engagements — anonymized while our client roster is under wraps, and every number swappable for the real thing.

The lineup
Four people. No account layer.
Nick — Newcastle, NSW raised, Costa Mesa based — quit a big LA agency the morning after a perfect January dawn patrol and started Glassy from a garage. The team stayed small on purpose: the person who audits your site is the person who answers your email.
