Shouldered AI / For marketing, creative and digital agencies
Run your agency on it. Then offer it to every client.
Your agency runs on Shouldered first, so your own proposals, invoices and reports take care of themselves. Then each client can have an HQ of their own. Your clients pay Shouldered's public price. You earn 20% of their plan fees for 24 months, and you bill your own services separately.
"We spend half the week on reports and invoices."
Client reports, invoices and follow ups are Shouldered, so your team spends the week on the creative work clients pay for.
"Clients leave when the campaign ends."
A client with an HQ of their own has a reason to stay, because it runs their whole business, not just their ads.
"Our leads go cold because the client never calls back."
The client's HQ answers the leads you send them the same day, so your campaigns finally get credit.
"I want to sell AI, but I don't want to build it."
You don't have to. Each client's HQ is set up for their trade. Your clients pay Shouldered's public price. You earn 20% of their plan fees for 24 months, and you bill your own services separately.
Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for marketing agencies.
Shows the agency owner every client's numbers in one view and flags who needs a call.
Drafts proposals, follows up on every lead and keeps the agency pipeline current.
Schedules posts, emails and campaigns for the agency and for each client to review.
Answers the leads your campaigns bring in for each client, so none of them go cold.
Sends retainer invoices on time and chases late payers politely.
Builds the monthly client reports and books the review calls.
Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
Monday, the monthly reports for every client are drafted before your team logs in. A client's campaign brought in nine leads over the weekend, and that client's HQ already answered each one and booked two calls. Retainer invoices went out on Friday. Your account managers spend the morning on ideas, not spreadsheets.
An illustration, not a promised result.
Start
Start with your agency: an HQ from $750 a month for Small (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only), with a Hero for each person on your team. Proposals, invoices and client reporting get handled first.
Grow
Then each client can have an HQ of their own from $750 a month (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only). Your clients pay Shouldered's public price. You earn 20% of their plan fees for 24 months, and you bill your own services separately. Buy 10, get the 11th free.
Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.
Two prices, and 50 Founding places.
First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.
Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.
Founding 50: of 50 places left. When they are gone, this price closes.

Prices are per month. Only the first 50 companies (the Founding 50) get the Founding price with a two-year commitment, paid yearly by bank transfer, and keep it for as long as they renew. Pay yearly by bank transfer and take 3% off. Onboarding is $1,000 for Small and $2,000 for Medium, paid once, and free at Shouldered events. It is one 1-hour call: technical setup with our technical team first, then your business with our team. The person who sold you HQ joins your onboarding call. Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.
Enterprise and government. For large companies and public agencies. Custom plans start at $5,000 a month. Pilots are paid. We start SOC 2 Type 1 work in 2027. Texas agencies: we are working toward TX-RAMP.
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.
The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.
Can I resell HQ inside my retainer?
No. Your clients pay Shouldered's public price. You earn 20% of their plan fees for 24 months, and you bill your own services separately. HQ Small is $750 a month paid for the year (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only).
Who owns the client's data?
The client does. Their private data stays in their own system.
Do my clients need to know anything about AI?
No. If they can read an email, they can use it. HQ starts the work itself.
When is it live?
The Hero is available now. HQ launches in December 2026, and the Founding 50 list is open now.
Is there a referral or partner program?
Yes, talk to us about partnering. Buy 10, get the 11th free.
A Christian-run company, and proud of it.
Churches get free Hero seats. When a member's business joins, its church gets an HQ, free.
Simon is named for Simon of Cyrene, who stepped in and shouldered the cross for another. Shouldered takes no outside funding and is open to everyone. The technology comes from the OurWorld group: ten years of work, 60+ engineers, running in 20+ countries.
