Led by Derek Benedictson
Billion dollar health brand leader and startup CEO
We meet you where you are.
You’ve built something customers want, and a team that believes in it. So why does growing it feel this hard?
Too many opportunities. No clear priority.
Customers love what you offer, but there’s no certainty about which directions deserve your investment.
Your advantage is real. Your results don’t show it yet.
You have strengths competitors don’t, but they aren’t built into your brand, offerings, and operations. So beating the competition is harder than it should be.
Everyone’s busy, but growth isn’t adding up.
Strategy, team, and demand generation aren’t moving as one, and too much still runs through you.
We know these challenges well. The 3A Method was built to solve them.
The 3A Method
One connected system that turns what makes your company valuable into durable growth.
Identify the greatest opportunities to add value.
You’ll see exactly where your company can add the most value: the customers, offers, markets, and capabilities with the most upside, so investment goes where it counts.
Define and strengthen the advantage you already have.
We define the strengths that set you apart and build them into your brand, offerings, and operations, so you can beat the competition on what you do best.
Put the plan into action.
We build the roadmap with owners, milestones, and metrics, then execute it alongside you, tracking progress and adjusting as results come in.
At every step, we strengthen what growth depends on: your team, your strategy, and your execution.
Three ways to grow with us
Each one puts the 3A Method to work, at the depth you need.
Growth
Diagnostic
Fixed fee, completed in weeks
For when you know there’s more to capture, but aren’t sure which move to make next.
- Opportunity map, ranked by impact
- Advantage assessment
- A first 90-day plan
You walk away with clarity on where to invest first, and a plan your team can put into action.
Growth Plan
and Engine
Fixed fee, delivered over months
For when you need a clear growth plan and the sales and marketing execution to deliver it.
- Growth plan with owners, milestones, and metrics
- Positioning, offer, and pricing
- Sales funnel, launch, and loyalty programs, built and activated
You walk away with a coordinated growth system your team can run and improve, with sales, marketing, and operations working together.
Executive Growth
Leadership
Monthly retainer, ongoing
For when too much still runs through you.
- Fractional leadership in the seat
- Team strengthened and led
- Results reported against the plan
You walk away with a stronger team, measurable results, and the freedom to lead the company instead of carrying it.
Every engagement starts from one of these and is customized to your needs. Derek leads it and brings in the specialists your plan requires, so you get the right expertise and one point of accountability.
Results
Selected outcomes from 3A engagements. Clients stay confidential.
From a single insight to launch.
We led a vertical AI startup, with Derek embedded as CEO, from a single insight to a patented platform in under two years, launching with three paying B2B customers, including a Fortune 100 telecom. Customers saw a measured 3x gain in field productivity, and the team grew from 2 to 12.
A go to market plan that won.
We rebuilt the go to market plan for a national telecom infrastructure firm’s new service line, which won large enterprise contracts.
A partner through the long build.
Since 2022, we’ve advised a real estate development company on growth strategy, organization design, and demand generation, through the completion of a project worth more than $100 million.
Meet our founder, Derek Benedictson
Derek leads 3A and every engagement. At Johnson & Johnson, he led billion dollar health brands and transformed U.S. consumer loyalty, growing it into an 8.4 million active member platform. He has since led a startup as CEO. He knows how trusted health brands earn loyalty at scale, and what it takes for a founder to build one. He also rebuilt his own health across body, mind, and spirit, so the mission of whole person health is personal to him.
“When people rise, results follow. This belief shapes every engagement we take on.”
