Dallin Nead × Seth Godin

Our Video Content Manager, Dallin Nead, recently produced video work with marketing legend Seth Godin — bestselling author of The Dip, Purple Cow, and This Is Marketing. The kind of collaboration that happens when content craft is a discipline, not a checkbox.

// content production

Editorial-grade video.

Original video content, owned-channel production, and on-camera category education — the kind of asset answer engines treat as ground truth.

// why we rock

Four things that haven't changed in fifteen years.

The category changes every year — algorithms, AI surfaces, ranking signals. These four principles have stayed the same since day one.

01

Quality, curated outreach.

Editorial placements only. Vetted publisher list. No PBNs, no shortcuts.

02

US-based writing team.

Real writers with industry tenure. Fortune 500 and regulated-category experience.

03

F500 results, SMB touch.

Same playbook for a startup as for a Fortune 1000. The numbers just scale.

04

Scales to any budget.

Local clients at $500/mo through enterprise programs at $50,000+. Honest, flexible pricing.

// values

How we operate.

Six values we hire against, fire against, and run engagements against.

Q

Quality over quantity

Hundreds of optimized placements over time beats thousands of cheap, throwaway links.

T

Transparency

Real-time progress, weekly status, monthly reports. You see what we ship before clients do.

E

Ethical execution

Strict white-hat. No PBNs, no link farms, no schemes. Aligned with Google guidelines and user experience.

D

Client confidentiality

Most engagements are NDA. We don't publish what we shouldn't. Your competitive edge stays yours.

L

Long-term thinking

We optimize for the multi-year compound, not the next quarter's pretty chart.

P

Partnership posture

Direct C-suite access. Real account team. We act like co-founders, not vendors.
