Strengthen the foundations of your agency in 90 days.
Sharpen your positioning, clarify your offers, and build a weekly operating rhythm for decisions, sales activity, and follow-through.
You Don't Have Time To Build This Yourself
Next90 is Built for Agencies Ready to Grow Smarter
Established agencies stuck on a plateau
You're past the early stage and ready to scale smarter.
Owners who want to stop chasing & start attracting
You're tired of competing on price and taking projects that don't fit. You want to position yourself so the right clients come to you.
Teams that need clarity & a clear plan to move forward
Your team is spinning wheels. They need a focused direction and specific initiatives they can execute on.
What You'll Walk Away With After 90 Days
In 90 days, you'll have a clear go-to-market direction and the momentum to act on it.
A sharper story that wins better-fit clients
A positioning narrative that makes it obvious why clients should pick you. A framework your team can use in proposals, on calls, and on your website.
A clear positioning and messaging framework
A positioning strategy that separates you from everyone else selling the same services at lower rates. This is the foundation. Everything else (content, outreach, pricing) gets easier when positioning is right.
A prioritized action plan
A prioritized roadmap with specific initiatives ranked by impact. A working document your team can execute on Monday morning.
Confidence and momentum to keep growing
Clarity on what to do next and the early wins to prove the direction is right. Most founders I work with say the biggest shift is going from 'we should probably do something about marketing' to knowing exactly what to do and in what order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Next90 is one fixed fee for the full 90 days. It includes weekly calls, every deliverable, and direct access to me the whole time. You know the full price before we start, with no hourly billing or hidden fees. Book a call for a number matched to your situation.
Yes. 90 days is enough to diagnose positioning gaps, build a messaging framework, refine your offers, and get early wins that prove the direction. It's not enough to overhaul every system in your business, but that's not the goal. The goal is clarity, a working plan, and momentum you can sustain after the engagement ends.
A positioning consultant helps you figure out what to say and who to say it to. A fractional CMO does that plus runs the execution. Next90 is a focused positioning and strategy engagement. If you also need someone to build and run your content, pipeline, and promotion systems, that's Fractional CMO.
A positioning framework, messaging guide, refined service packaging, ideal client profile, competitive differentiation analysis, prioritized 90-day action plan, and a weekly operating rhythm. These are working documents your team uses in proposals, on sales calls, and on your website.
Plan for 1-2 hours per week. One strategy call plus prep and implementation time. The companies that get the best results treat this like a priority. It's 90 days. The investment is worth protecting.
That's Growth Accelerator or Fractional CMO. Many clients start with Next90 to get clarity on positioning and priorities, then move to a build engagement. Others go straight to Fractional CMO if they want the whole engine built and running. A 30-minute call is usually enough to figure out which path fits.
Founder-led agencies with a small leadership team. Strong delivery capability but unclear positioning, inconsistent pipeline, and no dedicated marketing team. If you've grown on referrals and reputation but feel like you've hit a ceiling, that's the starting point.
What Clients Say
I reached out to Kurt needing dual help: One, casting a vision. Two, turning on more effective business development approaches. He was the decisive sounding board that my vision casting needed. And he also brought immense practical operational techniques to help spur me to action just when I needed the kick in the pants.

I worked with Kurt Schmidt to define and refine how we tell our stories and help our partners tell theirs. I'm thrilled about the emerging initiative and what it means for Fountane Inc. If you're leading an agency and need to tell better stories, I highly recommend Kurt Schmidt as a skilled and thoughtful partner.
