Inside each case study, you’ll find the behind-the-scenes transformations that happen when founders stop carrying the backend alone and finally get the operational support, systems, and structure they need to grow.
No hype. No inflated promises.
Just grounded, sustainable, measurable change... built in partnership, not pressure. Explore how Covalent helps speakers, creatives, and agencies scale.
Speaker businesses often look simple from the outside… but the backend can get overwhelming fast.
Between outreach, follow-up, CRM cleanup, pitch assets, content, inbox management, travel coordination, and event prep, most speakers are carrying the entire operation alone.
This case study shows what happens when a speaker finally gets the backend support they’ve been missing. From a fully managed outreach engine, to VA-led delivery, to operational consulting that strengthens their systems, follow-up, and capacity, we transform the backend so the speaker can stay focused on thought leadership.
If you're ready to stop juggling the admin, the workflows, and the outreach by yourself, this is the case study to explore.
Creative studios don’t struggle with ideas, they struggle with capacity, structure, and the systems needed to deliver consistently at a high level.
This case study walks through the transformation that happens when a creative founder finally stops rebuilding processes from scratch and instead gets a custom Sprint to redesign their backend from the ground up.
From SOPs to workflows, subcontractor onboarding, premium offer repositioning, and a full lead-gen engine, this is what operational clarity makes possible for creative entrepreneurs who want to scale without sacrificing their artistry.
If you’re a designer or creative founder scaling from “solo” to “studio,” this case study is your roadmap.
Here's What Happens When an Agency Finally Has the Backend to Match Its Growth. Agencies scale fast and break even faster without structure.
This case study shows the evolution from a one-woman shop doing everything manually… to a fully operational, documented, structured agency with a team, workflows, tech stack, and systems that support growth.
From OBM-level oversight, to VA-led execution, to hiring, onboarding, tech migrations, SOPs, reporting, analytics, and CEO support, this is what it looks like when an agency founder finally steps out of the weeds and into the CEO role they were always meant to hold.
If you’re an agency owner feeling at capacity, this is the case study that will feel like looking in a mirror.
Here are three ways founders work with us:
✔ The Systems Scan + Strategic Planning Session
A 30-day diagnostic to map your backend, identify your gaps, and give you a custom 90-day plan.
✔ The Covalent Systems Sprint (most popular)
A 6-week deep-dive implementation sprint where we build or refine one core system your business is missing, your client delivery workflow, your lead generation engine, your content system, or another foundational piece. Designed for founders who need fast traction, clearer structure, and a system they can actually run.
✔ OBM + VA Partnership (by invite only)
VA Only Support: Done-for-you implementation with one OBM strategy call each month.
VA + OBM Support: Full operational support, delegation, and scalable systems.
If you’re unsure where to start, begin with a Discovery Call. It’s the simplest way to get clarity fast and it’s exactly how all of these Case Study founders began.
