For lean marketing teams

Run your marketing team better

We build the tools and fixes that take the busywork off your team — so their time goes to the work that actually needs them.

Sound familiar?

You know the signs.

01Emails get lost in their inbox.
02A report that should take ten minutes eats half a morning.
03The same task gets done three different ways by three different people.
04Everyone's busy, and somehow the important work keeps slipping behind the urgent work.
Your team isn't the problem. The process is.

And most of it is invisible from the outside — a tidy website and on point social profiles tell you nothing about how many hours are disappearing behind them.

That's the work we fix.

What Pikari does

We find where the time is leaking.

We're a lean team just like yours. We come in, look at how your team actually works and find where the time is leaking. Then we fix it.

Sometimes that means better utilizing features on tools you already pay for. Sometimes it's finding the right tool and setting it up properly. Sometimes it's building something small and custom.

We only build what's worth building, and we won't drop a new platform on your team and call it a solution.

And because we've spent years inside marketing teams, the tools we build come out on-brand — the design's handled, not bolted on after.

Why bring in an outside team

Sometimes you just need someone outside the system to look at the system.

Your team is too busy running the process to step back and redesign it or know how to redesign it. We bring the outside perspective and the technical layer to actually test and build the fix, not just hand you a recommendation and walk away.

If you're thinking about adding headcount to keep up, it's worth first making sure the team you have isn't losing a day a week to work that could be handled for them.

How we work

Start small. Get results in weeks.

01

Start small

A focused look at one painful process — what you do, and why it ended up this way.

02

Get real options

We come back with choices, from “you already have what you need, here's how to use it” to “here's what we'd build, and what it costs.”

03

Pick the level that fits

We deliver something that makes the work noticeably lighter within weeks — not a plan that sits in a drawer.

We'll walk you through the ways to start on a call — sized from a quick first engagement to a deeper build.

Who we work with

We work like part of the team.

We work with mission-driven organizations — teams that care about doing things well, and can't afford for things to break. When we take something on, we're a genuine extension of the team, not another vendor to be managed.
