What working with Empire325 looks like
How Durham full-funnel advertising engagements run
Every full-funnel advertising engagement Empire325 delivers in Durhamfollows a four-phase rhythm: discovery, design, deployment, and continuous optimization. We start with a paid two-week discovery sprint that produces a written technical assessment, prioritized roadmap, and quantified ROI projection — usable independently even if you choose not to continue.
Discovery covers data access, stakeholder interviews with your Durham-based and remote team members, infrastructure audit, competitive landscape review, and rigorous goal-setting. We deliver a written report your CFO and CTO can both sign off on. From there, design produces architecture decisions, vendor selection, and the engagement's success-metrics framework.
Deployment is where most agencies stumble. Empire325's full-funnel advertisingpractice operates with engineering discipline: version-controlled changes, automated testing, staged rollouts, and observable production telemetry from day one. We don't hand off documentation and disappear — we operate the systems with you for at least 90 days post-launch, transferring institutional knowledge as we go.
Continuous optimization is included on every retainer. The Research Triangle market shifts quarterly; your full-funnel advertising systems should adapt to those shifts without re-engaging consulting hours. Empire325 maintains an always-on optimization cadence — weekly experiments, monthly performance reviews, quarterly strategy resets.
