Retainer Support: Limited Availability

FOR BRANDS THAT SEE WHAT'S COMING AND ARE BUILDING TO LAST.

Most brands will eventually address AI visibility. A smaller group is choosing to build authority now, before their category gets decided. For those brands, we offer something rare: a team that specializes in exactly this, fully deployed on your behalf, so you and your people can stay focused on what you should actually be doing.

We take on a limited number of authority partnerships at any given time. This isn't scarcity for its own sake. It's because the work requires it.

KNOWING WHAT TO DO
ISN'T THE PROBLEM.

Most founders who understand AI visibility already know they should be building for it. It's the future of how brands and businesses will be found - and now is the time to get it right, before competition floods the market.

For high-impact teams, staying on their highest-leverage work is the advantage, not adding to an already full plate.

FOR ORGANIZATIONS READY TO FULLY ESTABLISH
AND DEFEND THEIR BRAND AUTHORITY.

When market share requires leverage, systems, and speed.

We become your dedicated execution partner, continuously building the authentic signals that give AI the confidence to recommend your brand. Depending on industry, we typically see meaningful performance improvements within 2-4 months. Availability is limited. We take this seriously.

Why A Retainer Partnership

Brand authority isn't a project with a finish line. It's an ongoing accumulation of signals, content, citations, structured data, platform presence, verified entity information, that compound over time. The brands that win in search aren't the ones that did something once. They're the ones that have been consistently building the right signals, in the right places, without stopping.

That kind of consistency requires a team with a single focus. We specialize in this and nothing else. This space moves fast, and staying current isn't a bonus, it's the core of the work. When you bring us in on retainer, you're not hiring an agency to run a project. You're adding a dedicated execution layer that operates in parallel with your team, not through it. Your people stay on their highest-leverage work. Ours stay on this.

We choose to work this way, in ongoing partnership rather than one-off engagements, because it's the only model that actually produces the outcome. Sustained, strategic execution is what builds authority. A single sprint doesn't. We work alongside specialists and trusted partners to make that possible, coordinating execution across disciplines so the work is always moving and always coherent.

We limit the number of partnerships we take on at any given time because real attention is finite. When you're in, you have our full focus. That's the only way we're willing to do this.

We are firm believers that some of the greatest arbitrage right now comes from arming talented team members with systems and intelligent tools. Top talent is an absolute weapon, recognizing that there is a force multiplier effect when they are trained, directed, and aligned towards singular objectives.

2012–2016
CREATIVE & BRAND
Design Brand Web Video

Before algorithms ruled the world, we mastered the art of human connection. We spent our early years in the trenches of high-end rebrand design, video, and storytelling, learning exactly what makes a human being stop, look, and trust a brand.

2017–2023
GROWTH & FUNNELS
Traffic Funnels Tags Targets

Then, we mastered the mechanics of scale. We pivoted to hard performance marketing, managing millions in ad spend and building complex funnels. We learned the brutal reality of what converts traffic into revenue. And exactly where the leaks happen, and how to stop them.

2024–Present
BRAND INTELLIGENCE
AI Talent AI Integration AI Optimization Automations

Now, we merge the art and the science. We don't use AI to replace the work. We use it to scale the authority signals we spent a decade perfecting. We build the systems that allow machines to understand your message, evolving and optimizing SEO into AEO and GEO, the full online ecosystem.

About 79 Development

BUILDING THE FUTURE ON OVER A DECADE OF PROOF.

At 79, we've spent 15 years helping brands earn trust in the real world through clear positioning, credible content, and systems that scale. Now, we build the systems that allow AI search to understand your value as deeply as humans do.

Is This Right For You

Working with us in a retainer capacity isn't the right fit for every brand , and we mean that plainly, not as a positioning move. This is designed for organizations where the leadership team is already locked in on what matters most, and where pulling key people away from that focus to take on a new, fast-moving discipline would be the wrong trade.

The clients who get the most from this partnership tend to share a few things in common. They understand that brand authority is a long-term build, not a campaign. They're not looking for someone to validate the vision , they need a specialist team to build the infrastructure that makes it credible and visible in the places that matter now. And they recognize there's a real cost to waiting.

If you're still working through what your brand stands for, the right starting point is the Brand Guidance System , not a retainer. That's the diagnostic that gets you clear on what you're building toward, and tells us whether and how we can help you build it. The retainer conversation only starts once that foundation exists.

We choose our partners carefully. Not because we're trying to be exclusive, but because the work requires genuine attention and consistent execution over time. We can't deliver that at scale, so we don't try to.
