A growth sprint is a short, fixed-scope engagement, usually about three weeks, that names your single highest-leverage growth move and delivers the plan to make it. It is not a retainer, not a deck, and not a channel audit that ends in a shrug. You leave able to act.
The output is a decision and a plan, not a document to file away. A good sprint ends with three things: the one move that will move the needle most, sized against effort and expected return; the plan to make it, with owners and sequencing; and the clarity to say no to the ten things that were quietly competing for the same budget.
It is not a monthly retainer. It is not a strategy deck that describes your problems back to you. And it is not a full-funnel overhaul, because trying to fix everything at once is exactly how growth stalls. A sprint picks the highest-leverage thing and commits.
Reach for a sprint when you know something is off but cannot name it, when you are about to spend real money and want a plan first, or when growth has plateaued and you need an outside read on why. Reach for ongoing help, a fractional CMO, when you need someone owning marketing continuously rather than solving one defined problem.
A typical three-week growth sprint runs an audit in week one across positioning, channels, and unit economics; names and sizes the highest-leverage move in week two; and builds the plan to execute it in week three. Fixed scope, fixed price, defined end date.
Usually about three weeks. Long enough to audit properly and build a real plan, short enough that it forces focus on the one move that matters most.
At Coquí Dream Studios, a growth strategy sprint runs $10,000 to $15,000. It is fixed-scope, so you know the number and the deliverable before it starts.
No. Consulting hands you advice. A sprint hands you a specific, sized move and the plan to execute it, with owners and sequencing. You leave able to act, not just informed.
