Sound familiar?
The problems that keep agencies stuck at the same size, and what changes when you have a team behind you.
You're turning down clients because you're at capacity.
With us: say yes, and add the account to your team.
Hiring takes months, and people leave.
With us: a trained team, ready now. No recruiting, no onboarding.
Payroll eats your margin.
A US media buyer costs around $65,000 a year, before benefits.
With us: a fraction of that, so each client makes you more.
Freelancers disappear mid-campaign.
With us: a dedicated team, and founders who answer for it.
Clients churn when ads go stale and updates go quiet.
With us: fresh creatives every month and proactive check-ins, in your name.
You sold a website, and now it's stuck in your backlog.
With us: your team builds websites and landing pages too, so projects don't pile up.
You lose a client and you're stuck with the payroll.
With us: you only pay for clients who renew with you. If a client leaves, so does the cost.
You'll always know who's in charge
You don't manage a team. You work directly with the three founders. We run the team, we watch every account, and we fix whatever needs fixing.
"If something isn't working on one of your accounts, you call us. The team reports to us, and we answer for their results."Leonardo Riciate, Murillo Carneiro and Isabel Losker, founders of The Trenches
A direct line to the founders
You get our numbers. Any problem, any time, you talk to the people who run the team.
We answer for the results
Your team reports to us, and we're personally accountable for their performance on your accounts.
We fix it before you have to ask
If you're unhappy, tell us and we handle it. Most of the time you won't need to: if results drop below what they should be, we replace whoever's responsible ourselves.
Start small
Test us with 1 or 2 clients. Add more once you've seen the work.
The founders
Leonardo RiciateMurillo CarneiroIsabel LoskerRegistered in Stamford, Connecticut. Founders in the US and Italy. Delivery team offshore, within 1 to 2 hours of the East Coast.
Built for agency owners at every stage

You're still the one running campaigns. Hand off delivery and get back to selling and strategy.
Your people are at capacity. Add a dedicated team for overflow, new clients or a new service line.
How it works
You keep the client relationship. We do the delivery behind it.
-
Discovery call
We go through your client list and your costs to find out how much money you're leaving on the table, and where it's going.
-
Your team, ready to go
Our team is already in place, and we start setting everything up the moment you join. We only take on a few new agencies each month, so nobody gets overloaded and every client gets our best work.
-
You sell, we deliver
Your clients only see your brand. We run the campaigns, the creatives and the day-to-day communication.
Offshore, without the usual offshore problems
Offshore usually goes wrong for two reasons: time zones and inexperience. We solved both.
Your hours, not ours
Our team works within 1 to 2 hours of the East Coast. Real-time replies and live calls whenever you need.
Fluent English
Your team talks to you, and to your clients if you want, without anything getting lost in translation.
Already running US accounts
We generate leads and booked estimates for US service businesses every day. Your clients' market is our market.

Media buyers who already know your market
Every media buyer on our team is trained, qualified and experienced with US accounts before they ever work on yours.
Our media buyers hold Google qualifications, so your clients' campaigns are built by people who know the platform inside out.
Each of them has been running campaigns in the US market for more than two years. Your clients' market isn't new to them.
Everyone follows the same standard, so every account gets the same level of work, no matter who's on it.
Questions agency owners ask us
Will my clients know you exist?
No. We work under your brand: your email, your reports, your name. The client relationship stays yours.
Who do I talk to if something goes wrong?
The founders, directly. You'll have our numbers from day one, and we're responsible for how the team performs on your accounts.
What if I'm not happy with the results?
Tell us, and we'll fix it. You don't have to manage anyone or ask for a new team member. We monitor every account, and if performance falls below expectations, we make the changes ourselves, including replacing people when needed.
Can we start small?
Yes. You can start with 1 or 2 clients to test the work, then add more when you're ready.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how many clients you have and which services you sell. On the call we map your numbers and show you exactly what you'd pay and what you'd keep.
How can it cost less without being worse?
Our delivery team works offshore, where the cost of living is lower. That lets us pay great people well and still charge a fraction of what a US hire costs. The savings come from geography, not from cutting corners: every media buyer is Google certified, has 2+ years on US accounts, and we're personally accountable for their results.
How do we communicate day to day?
Through the tools your team already uses, like Slack or WhatsApp, in real time during US business hours.
What happens if I lose a client?
Nothing to cancel. You only pay for clients who renew with you, so if a client leaves, you simply stop paying for that account.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. It's month to month, and you only pay for a client when that client renews with you.
How fast can we start?
Right away. As soon as you join, we start setting everything up for your clients.
Hi, we're Leonardo, Murillo and Isabel.The founders of The Trenches. You'll talk to one of us, not a sales rep.
