Our approach

A strong partnership is key to your success. That’s why we don’t sell individual specialized skills. We create a team to bridge the gap between marketing and product and support your goals in the long-run.

Why are we here? It’s simple, really. To help you grow.

If you’re looking for your typical agency – you won’t find it here. We’re a team of experts across a variety of disciplines that will get in the trenches with you. Our role is to guide you, pair you with extensive resources so that eventually, you’ll fly on your own. We want to help you outgrow us, and when it’s time we’ll build a team to carry the work forward. That’s what we call a job well done.

JASON SHAFTON FOUNDER, GROWTH PRACTICE LEAD

Led by Jason Shafton

Jason here! Thanks for taking the time to get to know us. I’m currently the growth practice lead here at Winston Francois. I take pride in helping our partners reach their full potential. 

My expertise comes from my 20-year career, during which I’ve built billion-dollar businesses at Google, Viacom and DaVita and scaled startups like Heal, Soothe, and Headspace.

Now, I work with brands like yours to provide strategic guidance across product, growth, marketing, management, and organizational design to support sustainable value creation.

Jason and his team at WF have done a tremendous job in hitting set objectives in the most professional manner, building a complete marketing department and proper marketing processes from scratch. What is the most impressive thing about having Jason onboard, is that no task is too small or too challenging, and the ability to quickly analyse and set forth an execution plan together with an ad-hoc team of the best in the business is remarkable. Besides everything Jason is a true professional, a mentch, with the human empathy needed to go into tough situations, with a complex set of variables – and lead his clients to a winning position.

The WF Team stepped in swiftly to run and uplevel our marketing practice. They additionally helped us to setup our own capabilities so that we could take back over.

Partnering with WF has been a phenomenal experience. From defining customer personas to developing marketing strategy and executing content marketing, their work has been top notch. Perhaps what’s even better are the relationships the WF team has built with our team here at Dandi. I can’t recommend them enough!

Jason and the Winston Francois team have been invaluable partners to Modern Animal from Day 1 helping us launch our first veterinary clinic in 2020. They worked hand in hand with our small team at the time to navigate ambiguity, iterate on strategy, and drive relentless focus and efficiency on execution. Years later, as both our teams have grown, Winston Francois has helped us again at a different stage of our evolution as we continue to grow across more markets and tens of thousands of customers.
