Questions
How is Ultra different from Marathon?
Marathon is execution. You set priorities, we ship. Ultra is leadership. We help set the priorities, lead design direction, and operate as part of your team. Bigger dedicated team, full strategy included, and we’re in your standups and roadmap, not just your Slack.
What does the team look like?
2+ designers, developers, and a dedicated PM who knows your product inside out. Same people every week. No rotations, no handoffs.
What does $15k/month actually cover?
Brand, product design, growth, design systems, and full-stack development. One team, one relationship. No separate invoices for dev or strategy.
Why only 2 spots?
Because we embed deeply. We’re in your standups, your roadmap, your product decisions. That level of involvement doesn’t scale past two clients without quality dropping. We’d rather do it right.
What if I need to pause or stop?
We’ll wrap up what’s in progress and hand everything over clean. All source files, design systems, and documentation are yours.
How fast can you start?
Once we align on goals and scope, we typically kick off within a week. Your PM sets up the workflow and we’re shipping from day one.
Can I start with Marathon and upgrade to Ultra?
Absolutely. A lot of teams start with Marathon to test the fit, then move to Ultra when they want us leading, not just executing.
Do I need to manage you?
That’s the whole point of Ultra. We don’t wait for a brief. We help write it. You get senior creative leadership embedded in your team without the overhead of managing a vendor.
Forever forward,
Outpace Studios™
