Frequently Asked Questions
-
Left Off Madison helps brands create measurable business growth by bringing strategy, audience intelligence, media, creative, and production together under one operating system. We can help identify the opportunity, develop the strategy, bring the work to market, and optimize its performance—without the silos and handoffs found at many large agencies. See How We Grow.
-
We were built by leaders shaped on Madison Avenue who wanted to preserve the experience and capabilities of a major agency while eliminating unnecessary layers, bureaucracy, ego, and wasted spend. Clients work with senior people across disciplines, all aligned around business outcomes—not simply producing more activity or impressions. About Left Off Madison.
-
We help brands diagnose stalled growth, identify new audiences, sharpen positioning and messaging, improve media effectiveness, launch or relaunch products, develop campaigns, strengthen measurement, and bring disconnected marketing disciplines together. The right solution may be a focused diagnostic, a strategic engagement, or a fully integrated agency relationship.
-
Our best clients are ambitious marketers who need meaningful growth but do not want the overhead or complexity of a traditional large agency. They value senior involvement, direct communication, objective thinking, cultural intelligence, and accountability. More important than company size is a willingness to align around clear business goals and act on what the evidence reveals.
-
Both. Brands can begin with a focused diagnostic or audit, move into a strategy sprint or workshop, engage us for a defined project or launch, or establish an ongoing agency-of-record relationship. Our website currently organizes these into three levels: Starter Engagements, Strategic Engagements, and Full Engagements. Explore the ways to work together.
-
We begin by understanding the business, product, category, customer, competition, and culture before recommending tactics. We align on measurable KPIs, establish the communications strategy, and then connect media, creative, and production around that strategy. Once the work is in market, we optimize based on performance and apply those learnings to the next stage of growth. See How We Grow Your Brand & Business.
-
Success is defined with the client at the beginning of the engagement. Depending on the challenge, that may include revenue, customer acquisition, market share, brand consideration, loyalty, retail performance, or another meaningful business measure. Media and creative metrics still matter, but they are treated as indicators, not the ultimate definition of growth.
-
Every engagement is structured around the business opportunity, required capabilities, timing, and level of involvement. Depending on the assignment, we may work on a fixed-fee, project, retainer, or performance-based compensation model.
For select opportunities where our work can be directly connected to measurable incremental revenue — such as e-commerce programs, product launches, or new growth platforms — we may also consider a revenue-sharing model. In those arrangements, Left Off Madison shares both the risk and the upside, with compensation based on a clearly defined measure of attributable revenue and transparent reporting.
Media, production, talent, technology, fulfillment, and other third-party costs are identified and scoped separately. After an initial conversation, we recommend the structure that best aligns our incentives with the client’s growth objectives.

Left Off Madison’s primary office is in Orangeburg, New York -- just 22 miles from Times Square. It is a unique hybrid environment combining our agency offices, collaborative workspaces, and a full-service film and photography production location under one roof. Explore our New York office.
We also maintain outposts in Tampa and Port St. Lucie, Florida, as well as Ambergris Caye, Belize. Our Belize outpost serves as a creative think tank and retreat -- a setting deliberately removed from the noise, stress, and everyday distractions that can get in the way of fresh thinking. It provides an inspiring environment for strategy sessions, client workshops, off-sites, and uninterrupted creative development.
From these locations, we collaborate with clients primarily in the United States and Japan. We are open to collaborating with clients originating in other countries, too.
