These are the brands we partnered with to build hands-on experience across Agency and CPG. We went in at the ground level, worked directly with founders, and got our hands dirty on real operational, financial, and strategic challenges. No theory. No observer seats. We did the work.
These case studies represent Sandstone's foundational experience working with Agency and CPG founders. We pursued these engagements to build direct, in-the-trenches knowledge of how growth-stage businesses actually operate. Every engagement was founder-facing, hands-on, and built around solving a real problem.
Case Study. Dymes Agency came to Sandstone managing brand deals, content shoots, and creator schedules across texts, DMs, and disconnected spreadsheets. We built a fully custom Events and Calendar platform and Client Dashboard — deployed directly on their domain, with zero ongoing software fees and full data ownership. One shared system the entire agency and creator roster now runs on daily.
Case Study. Not So Boring Rice is a fast-growing CPG brand with real momentum and a product that stands out on shelf. We worked with the founders on the financial and operational infrastructure needed to support scaling distribution and expanding their retail presence without losing control of unit economics.
Case Study. Lou Studio is a jewelry brand and creative studio with a distinct identity and a growing customer base. We worked directly with the founder on the operational buildout — bringing structure to fulfillment, inventory, and the day-to-day systems needed to scale the business without losing what makes it special.
Case Study. Pretty Boy is a consumer brand with a sharp identity and a founder who knows exactly who they are building for. We supported the early-stage business planning, financial modeling, and go-to-market strategy to give the brand a real foundation to grow from.
We work with founders who are serious about getting the business right. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
