The Math of In-House vs. Agency.

Many founders think hiring a full-time "Head of Marketing" is the answer. But let's look at the actual numbers. A competent CMO costs $150k+. A developer costs $120k+. A designer costs $90k+.

The Agency Efficiency

For a fraction of that cost, ELRQ gives you access to a complete "Pod" of experts: a strategist, a senior dev, a copywriter, and a designer. We don't need health insurance, we don't take sick days, and we don't need training.

You aren't just saving money; you are buying speed. We deploy systems in weeks that take in-house teams months to build.
