We Built the Brand Platform

A fully custom web presence for Gala Global — case-study-led, editorial in voice, and built on a CMS & CRM that match the agency's strategic ambition.

A Brand House That Actually Sells the Work.

Gala Global came to us with strong credentials — 15+ years of work, $15M+ secured for clients, and a roster including TMG and Palm Hills — but a digital presence that didn't match the caliber of the work. They needed a platform that could carry strategy decks, magazine content, and a real lead pipeline at the same time.

  • A modern marketing site with case studies as the headline product, not a sub-page.
  • A full editorial layer: blogs, magazine issues, topics, and content authority pieces.
  • An end-to-end CRM — companies, contacts, leads, deals, pipelines — integrated with the public site.
  • An admin dashboard where strategists can publish case studies without touching code.
  • Analytics that connect content performance to pipeline value, not just page views.

A Premium Agency Trapped Inside a Brochure Site.

Three structural gaps were silently capping the agency's growth — every one of them invisible to clients but obvious in the funnel data.

01
Work Buried Below the Fold

Their best case studies — TMG repositioning, Palm Hills, Belban — lived as static PDFs. Prospects judged the agency by a thin services list instead of $15M of measurable outcomes.

02
No Pipeline, Just an Inbox

Inbound leads landed in a shared Gmail with no stages, no ownership, and no follow-up cadence. Deals were lost because nobody knew whose turn it was.

03
Editorial Authority Disconnected

Strategy thinking was published on Medium, magazine PDFs sat on Drive, and none of it was indexed under the Gala brand. Thought leadership wasn't compounding into traffic.

One Brand Platform. Public Story Front, Operating System Back.

We built Gala Global as two halves of the same product: a story-driven public site where every case study earns its place, and an operating layer where strategists publish, sellers track pipeline, and analytics tie content to revenue. Both halves share one design system and one source of truth.

Case-Study-First Site

Home, Work, and individual case-study pages designed as the agency's primary sales asset, with on-brand storytelling baked in.

Editorial Engine

Blogs, magazine issues, topics, and authority pieces — all SEO-structured and indexed under one Gala domain that compounds traffic.

Embedded CRM

Companies, contacts, leads, deals, and pipelines live inside the same admin — every contact form is a CRM record from day one.

Pipeline-Aware Analytics

Content trends, blog-by-topic performance, and pipeline-stage analysis in one dashboard — content ROI is finally legible.

For the first time, our website tells the same story we tell in pitch rooms. Prospects come in already convinced — we just confirm what the case studies already proved.
