Why three months
Retainers don’t work for the brands we back, so we don’t use them. Every engagement starts as a three-month, closed-scope project. It builds trust, forces real outcomes, and delivers more impact in less time.
Leadership
Dom Buckland
Founder
With more than ten years in brand and growth marketing, Dom specialises in unlocking deep consumer insight and crafting marketing that tells a story and moves the numbers.
Three Month Rule was built on a simple frustration: the open-ended retainer rewards activity, not outcomes. So every engagement here is scoped, dated and accountable. The same senior hands that plan the work do the work, and the brief is to ship something real inside ninety days.
How we work
Closed scope, always
We agree exactly what we're doing before we start. No drift, no scope creep, no open-ended invoice.
Insight before output
The work starts with the one critical truth that sets a clear position. Everything else follows from it.
Senior hands on the work
The people who scope your project are the people who do it. No hand-off to a junior team.
Integrated, not bolted on
Brand, campaign and digital move together inside one focused window. Focus and integration are everything.
