One page. The three engagement models, what each costs in management time, and which one fits a team your size.
The problem it solves
Fintech does not fail for lack of ideas. It fails on execution velocity - the gap between what the team wants to ship and what it has the capacity to ship.
Hiring closes that gap in six months. A project agency closes it for one campaign, then reopens it. Neither is what Afterpay, Airwallex or Constantinople chose.
Three fintechs, three different models
Afterpay, point of scale ally, since 2020. Campaign and engineering support became a full-stack growth partnership: creative, CRM, web, data, embedded teams and B2B strategy, across five global markets on a follow-the-sun model.
Not many agencies quite literally help you extend your team. Diji has not just been an agency partner to fulfil needs, they've been a strategic ally who builds solutions.Joe Ahn, Growth Marketing Lead
Airwallex, embedded ally, since 2024. A bespoke agency ecosystem sitting both inside and alongside the business: talent management, payroll, operational oversight and overflow studio support.
Constantinople, the build partner. Banking infrastructure, where the product is trust and the margin for error is zero.
Overflow, not overlap
Most agencies create duplication: a team placed alongside yours, competing with it. We work on a principle of overflow: your internal team is supported by our studio to deliver output, not substituted by it.
- Creative Production: campaign creative built to scale across channels
- CRM + Email: lifecycle architecture, segmentation, automation
- Web + Engineering: the build, and the martech behind it
- Data + Performance: measurement that ties spend to revenue
- Embedded Teams: dedicated capability without the administrative burden
Which model fits you

| Want a dedicated team without the hiring and payroll | Embedded |
| Are shipping a product and need it built right | Build partner |
| Operate across time zones and need overnight progress | Follow the sun |
