Sound familiar?

These are the problems killing growth for marketing & creative agencies right now.

Proposal-to-close takes weeks

You send a proposal, then radio silence. You don't know if they read it. You're chasing clients who should be chasing you.

No system for warm leads

Conferences, referrals, LinkedIn connections — they go into a spreadsheet and die there. You're losing $50K+ retainers to follow-up failure.

Retainer renewals are manual

Every 3–6 months you need to re-pitch retained clients. Without a system, they leave when a competitor reaches out first.

Here's how Athena fixes it

Everything runs automatically. You just check in on results.

Proposals that close faster

Send beautiful proposals with case studies, pricing, and e-signature built in. Track exactly when prospects open and read each section. Follow up at the perfect moment.

Lead nurture that converts

Every warm lead enters a 30-day educational sequence that positions Athena as the expert and keeps you top of mind until they're ready to buy.

Retainer renewal automation

30 days before a retainer ends, an automated value-recap and renewal sequence fires. Clients renew before they even think about leaving.

Common questions

How long does it take to set up?

Most businesses are fully set up and sending their first automated messages within 10–20 minutes. You connect your email, customise your automation triggers, and you're live. No developer needed.

Does it work with the tools I already use?

Athena integrates with Xero (accounting), Stripe (payments), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn (social), and any website via our JavaScript embed. For everything else, our Zapier-compatible webhook lets you connect to 5,000+ tools.

Is my data stored in Australia?

Yes. All data is stored in Australia (Sydney, ap-southeast-2 via Supabase) and never leaves the country. We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles.

What if I need help getting started?

Every account includes onboarding support via email. Growth and Pro plan customers get priority support and a dedicated onboarding call to make sure your automations are set up correctly.
