Monthly 路 No contract 路 Your seat is for lifeYour content, directed.
Backstage is a monthly membership for business owners who post their own content. We give you the plan, we check your work, you hit post. We never log in to your account. If you want us to post for you, that's a retainer, and it's a different door.
The Script: your monthly post plan.
On the 1st of every month you get thirty post ideas made for your type of business. Each one tells you the hook, the format, and what to say at the end. Plus twelve fill-in-the-blank captions. Pick twelve, put them on your calendar, done.
- Every MondayThe Call SheetThe Monday email. What changed on Instagram and TikTok this week and one thing to do about it.
- AlwaysStage DoorYour library. Everything we have ever sent you, in one place.
The Green Room: where you get feedback.
Our private members' group. Post one thing a week and the team tells you what to fix before it goes live. Share your wins. Ask questions. Everyone in there is doing what you're doing.
- 1st ThursdayFront RowA live session with Aly every month. Angles, lighting, how to be on camera. Replays saved.
- 3rd ThursdayRehearsalKit and up. Once a month Aly reviews three members' accounts live, so you see what to fix on yours.
The Writers' Room: we write your captions.
Send us your photos by the 20th. We send back twelve captions written in your voice by the 28th, keywords and hashtags included. You post them.
- Kit and upWardrobeKit and up. Eight Canva templates in your brand colors, so your graphics always match.
Director's Notes: twenty minutes with Aly, every month.
One on one. Bring your account and your questions, she tells you what to change. You also get a short video from the team every month with your numbers and three fixes.
- Once a quarterHeadshotsA quarterly photo day in Dallas or LA/OC. Not there? We direct your phone shoot over Zoom and edit your best twenty.
- Your first weekDirector's CutFirst-month bonus. Aly records a ten-minute video reviewing your last nine posts.
Four ways in.
Every pass gets the monthly plan, the Monday email, the members' group, the monthly live, and the library. Each step up, we do more of the work.
Monthly, billed every 30 days. No contract. Cancel anytime from your account page. Your rate locks the day you join. Your seat in the Green Room stays even if you cancel.
"What I know about angles, lighting, and being watched comes from set."
Aly Pharis is a working actress and the founder of AGENCY818, a content studio based in Dallas and LA/OC. Her team runs accounts for salons, med spas, restaurants, title companies, and trades. Everything in Backstage is what that team uses on client accounts every week. She built it because a lot of people wanted to work with her and the retainer wasn't the right fit yet.
Aly
This is for you if
- You own a service business and you post your own content
- You know social matters but you don't have time to track every trend
- You post consistently and it isn't growing the way your work deserves
- You want someone to look at your post before it goes up and tell you the truth
- You want to be near a team, and near Aly, without a retainer
Not for you if
- You want us to post for you. That's a retainer, and it's a different door
- You're already an AGENCY818 client. You have the whole team
- You want a course you can finish. This is a room you show up to
- You want video shot and edited every month. That's a retainer too
How it starts
Pick a pass
Add your card. You're in the Green Room within the hour and your rate is locked.
Check in
Your industry, your goals, your numbers today. On Captions and up we build your voice profile from it.
The 1st
Your first Script lands. Thirty ideas, twelve captions to fill in, a month you don't have to invent.
Program notes
Do you post for me?
No, at any pass. Here, you press publish. We make sure what you publish is planned, written, and worth it.
What am I paying for today?
Your first thirty days at whichever pass you choose. Your rate locks at that number for as long as you stay.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, from your account page, in about thirty seconds. You keep your seat in the Green Room either way.
Can I move between passes?
Up or down, from your account page. Changes take effect on your next billing date.
Is the plan customized to my brand?
The Script is built for your industry. On Captions and up, the writing is built for your brand from a voice profile we set up when you check in. A strategy built only for your business is the Social Audit + Strategy on our services page, or a retainer.
What if I don't have photos?
Every pass runs on your own photos. Coached adds Headshots once a quarter in Dallas or LA/OC, or the Remote Shoot anywhere else.
How is this different from a retainer?
On a retainer we run the account. In Backstage you run the account and we equip you. Same team, same standards, not the same job.
I'm already an AGENCY818 client. Can I switch?
No. Backstage is for businesses that have never been on a retainer, or left more than a year ago. If your retainer isn't the right fit anymore, talk to Aly directly.
What happens when I outgrow this?
That's the point. When posting it yourself stops making sense, the next step is a retainer, and your last Backstage payment is credited to your first invoice.
Your seat is ready.
The days of posting alone are over. A team behind your brand, every month, from $40.
