Hi, and welcome to Lean.

Most agencies will offer you a job. We’re offering you ownership.

If you’re ready to see what that actually means, keep reading.

We Don’t Hire Employees. We Hire Co-Founders

Here’s the truth: you’re probably not going to work here.

Not because you’re not talented. But because this place isn’t designed for most people.

Most people want a job. A title. Clear instructions. A guaranteed paycheck. Weekends off. Stability.

 

We’re looking for the few who want something else entirely.

We’re looking for people who are already thinking like founders—who see a client’s business as if it’s their own, who don’t wait for permission, who want responsibility because that’s where real freedom comes from.

If that’s you, here’s what happens:

 

You join as a co-owner from day one. Not in some symbolic way—in a real, “you take a share of the profit” way.

When you help a client grow, Lean grows, and you grow. Not with a €2,000 bonus. With six figures.

 

The model is simple: everyone plays for the same goal.

No politics. No “my project vs. your project.” Just a team of A-players who want you to win because when you do, they win too. Your standards rise automatically when you’re surrounded by owners.

But this only works if you’re wired this way already. We’re not here to teach you how to care. We’re here to back you when you do.

 

Below, you’ll see exactly how you, the client, and Lean all win together.

Here’s how You (the team), the Client, and the Agency win together.

The Team (you)

You’re not an employee, you’re a partner. You get real equity in the clients you run. If the client wins, you win. Your pay isn't a flat salary; it’s a direct cut of the growth you create and the success we build together as a team. You think like an owner because it’s who you are—our model simply recognizes and rewards it.

The Client

This is why clients choose us. They don't get a vendor; they get you. A partner who is financially and personally invested in their bottom line. You're not a task-taker. You're an owner with real skin in the game. Their success is 1:1 with your success.

The Agency

We don’t profit from busywork. We only win when our clients grow. Our job is to find the 1% of A-players—like you —give you real ownership, and back you with a team that’s 100% aligned to help you win. Our success is a byproduct of yours

It's not a perk.

It's alignment — a win for the client, a win for the team, and a win for Lean.

What It Takes to Belong Here

You don’t need to have done this before. You need to be willing to figure it out.

If you can look at numbers and ask “why?”, learn fast, stay curious, and care about outcomes more than optics—you’ll do well here.

The people who thrive here aren’t the ones with the longest résumés. They’re the ones who see a problem and think “I’ll fix it”—not “someone should fix it.”

The rest, we’ll figure out together.

Partners, not coworkers

They debate ad copy like it’s a Marvel movie. They get genuinely excited about a 2% conversion lift. They’ve been known to Slack campaign ideas at 11 PM on a Saturday—not because they have to, but because they can’t help it. Smart? Yes. Talented? Obviously. But also: funny, opinionated, curious, and occasionally too competitive during team games. They’ll roast a bad ad like it personally offended them. This is the team.
