Research-first marketing studio

We research your market before we touch a euro of your budget.

More qualified enquiries, orders or bookings, from a plan built on what your buyers actually think.

  • 30 minutes, free
  • You talk to the people doing the work
  • Reporting in plain language

You've paid an agency before.

  • Year-long lock-in
  • Vanity metrics
  • Copy-paste strategy
  • A junior relaying your notes
  • Reports nobody reads

We built Top of Mind to work the opposite way: research first, spend second.

How you sell

There's no template industry. There are three ways people buy.

Before we write an ad, we work out which one you're in.

The quote

Nobody buys until they talk to you.

Custom price, weeks of deciding.

ManufacturersFabricatorsClinicsProfessional services

The bottleneck: The gap between interested and in a conversation.

We reportQualified quote requests

The cart

They buy without ever speaking to you.

Seconds, on a phone, off a fifteen-second video.

Sleep & homeBaby & kidsPetSupplements

The bottleneck: Creatives burning out faster than you replace them.

We reportProfitable orders

The calendar

You sell time, and tonight's empty slot is gone for good.

Packed weekends, dead Tuesdays.

StaysClinicsSchoolsStudios

The bottleneck: Empty weekdays and platforms that keep your customer.

We reportDirect bookings, dead days filled

Not sure which one you're in? That's the first ten minutes of the call.

Which one are you?
Process

Three steps. No shortcuts.

Same method, whatever you sell.

Step 1

Research the market

What your buyers care about and what makes them trust a brand, before a single ad gets written.
how long does a custom quote take

What buyers actually say

Example

Search

“price range before I call anyone”

Reviews

“took three weeks to get a reply”

Sales calls

“we just want to see it first”

Google SearchReviewsForums & groupsCompetitor adsYour own sales calls

Insight: they want proof and a timeline before they want a price.

Step 2

Map the competition

Who's winning attention in your space, what's working, and what they're leaving on the table.

Competitor B

Competitor C

Step 3

Build a sharper position

Proven, sharpened and filled in, so yours is the name they remember when they're ready.

What we actually do

Four disciplines. One system.

The ad, the site, the feed and the follow-up have to agree. So we run them together.

Paid advertising

Meta and Google campaigns built around how your customers buy, with budget moved weekly toward what works.

Websites & SEO

Every page written and built for the decision.

Social media

Formats that compound, not a fresh idea every Monday.

Lead generation

From first click to a call with you.

Underneath all four

Tracking you can trust

Clean measurement first, so every decision after it stands on real data.

How we work

Built to be low-risk to try.

We're a young studio, so we made it easy to say yes to and easy to judge.

  • No long lock-in contracts

    If it isn't working, you're not stuck paying for it.

  • Reports in plain language

    What happened, why, and what we're changing next.

  • Direct access to the two of us

    The people on the call do the work.

  • Part of our fee moves with your results

    per qualified lead on quote work

Your month, in plain language

Written by the two of us, not a dashboard

Example

What happened

Fewer calls from search in the second half of the month.

Why

Two competitors started bidding on your name. We caught it the same week.

What we change next

Budget moves to the searches they ignore, and your lead time goes into every ad.

The number we agreed on

Qualified quote requests

Same number, every month. No new metrics when it's a bad one.

Before you book

Three questions worth asking first.

Not published ones yet — we're a young studio and we'd rather say that plainly than dress up numbers that aren't there. What you get instead is full visibility into our process from day one, and a pricing model where part of what we earn depends on your results.

Tell us what you sell.

We'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit — and which of the three ways your customers buy.

No pitch deck. No pressure.
