You hired an agency. You got a 40-page report and a 12-month contract.
Lots of charts. Very little you could actually act on.
Yokai is a creative and marketing agency for owners who want results they can see, explain and keep. AI helps us move faster and test more. A real strategist makes every call. No long contracts, no jargon, no mystery invoices.
Most owners we meet aren't short on hustle. They're short on time, straight answers, and someone who'll just handle it.
Lots of charts. Very little you could actually act on.
It worked at the time. Now it's quietly costing you calls.
Or which of the 400 new tools are worth a dime. (Most aren't.)
Logos, brand kits, packaging, signage and print that make you look like the obvious choice.
Fast sites and online shops you can update yourself, built to turn visitors into calls and sales.
Content engines, chat assistants and automations, trained on your voice so they sound like you.
How we use AIGoogle, Meta and local ads, tested fast and managed against what actually matters: booked work.
Posts, graphics and short video that sound like a real business. Because you are one.
Follow-ups, review requests and seasonal campaigns that run while you're on the job.
You get the speed and reach of modern AI tools, with a seasoned strategist accountable for every decision. Faster than a big agency. Smarter than doing it alone.
Start with the audit. In 24 hours you'll know what's working, what's leaking money, and what to fix first.
Brand, site, ads, automations. Only what moves the needle, and you see every step.
Keep us on month to month, or take the keys and run it yourself. Either way, it's all yours.
A senior, top to bottom look at how your business shows up online, and where money is slipping through the cracks. You pay once. You keep the plan. Nobody calls you about a retainer.
Delivered within 24 hours. If we don't think an audit will help you, we'll tell you before you pay.
Book my audit No contract. No upsell sequence. Promise.| The question | Typical agency | Yokai |
|---|---|---|
| How long am I locked in? | 6 to 12 months | Month to month, or one and done |
| Who do I talk to? | An account manager, who asks someone else | The founder. Directly. |
| What do reports look like? | Jargon and vanity metrics | What happened, what it cost, what's next |
| Who owns the accounts? | They do, until you leave | You do. Always. |
| How do they use AI? | Not at all, or for everything | Where it helps, with a human on every decision |
"I've spent 20+ years in marketing and design. The tools keep changing. What clients need hasn't: someone smart, honest, and on their side."
I started Yokai to give business owners big-agency thinking without big-agency nonsense. I use AI every day so my clients get more done for less. I'd rather earn your business every month than lock you into it.
yōkai (n.) A nod to Japanese folklore. The good kind of spirit, the one that shows up when you need it.
No. AI speeds up the first draft. A human rewrites, edits and approves everything in your voice before anyone sees it.
No. Start with the audit, then fix the highest-impact items first. Plenty of wins are cheap. Some are free.
Great. An audit is a second opinion. Hand the plan to your team, or have us handle the pieces they can't get to.
Anytime. Month to month means month to month. And everything we built stays yours.
