AI built by operators,
not consultants

Higher Agency is a boutique AI practice founded by leaders from EA, Zynga, NaturalMotion and Wooga. We've shipped products to half a billion people, run nine-figure P&Ls, and built the AI platform we use to deliver — Alexandria, a 170-agent system already in production

01 — Thesis

AI projects don't fail because of the AI. They fail for the same reasons game launches fail

S&P Global reported that 42% of enterprises abandoned the majority of their AI initiatives in 2025 — up from 17% the year before. The pattern is identical to a missed game launch: bad production, no creative direction, and no one in the room who's actually shipped at scale

Most AI agencies are engineers selling implementations or consultants selling decks. Higher Agency is something else entirely — an operator-led practice that treats AI like a product launch. Discovery, scoping, production, live ops. That discipline is the difference between an AI pilot and an AI business

  • Most AI agencies Higher Agency
  • Engineers selling implementations Operators who've launched 500M-user products
  • Strategy decks → pilot → maybe production Production-first — we ship, then we tune
  • Generalists across "all industries" Deep entertainment / consumer DNA, transferable to any consumer business
  • Methodology document as the deliverable Working systems that learn with every engagement
02 — How we work

Three disciplines, one team. The same loop we used to ship $1B franchises — pointed at AI

The loop that turns an AI pilot into an AI business: production, creative direction, business development — run by the same operator

i.

Production

We run AI engagements like product launches. Scoping, milestones, ruthless cuts, live operations after go-live. The thing ships. The thing keeps working. Then we measure what it actually changed

  • Roadmap with budget and risk attached to every initiative
  • Cross-functional staffing — not "an AI engineer in a room"
  • Measurement framework defined before a line of code
ii.

Creative direction

AI without taste is noise. We make calls about what to build, what to cut, and what the experience should feel like for the human on the other side. That's the part most engineering shops can't do

  • Player / customer-side instinct from F2P and consumer products
  • Prompt design, agent personas and tone treated as craft
  • Editorial standards on what an AI is allowed to ship
iii.

Business development

Our team has carried P&Ls north of $200M. We know what a CFO looks at, why a board kills a project, and how to make sure the AI initiative is the one that survives the next planning cycle

  • ROI framing executives can defend in a board meeting
  • Build / buy / partner decisions made the way operators make them
  • Internal champion development — your team owns it after we leave
03 — Track record

We don't have a logo wall yet. We have a portfolio

Higher Agency is new. The team behind it is not. Below: products we've personally led or built, with the numbers that matter to the people who funded them

Mobile · Free-to-play
$1B+

Plants vs. Zombies 2

Product leadership at PopCap (EA). One of the highest-grossing mobile titles of its era; defined the live-ops playbook a generation of mobile games copied

Mobile · Racing
$1B+

CSR Racing

Built and grew at NaturalMotion (Zynga). A reference example of how operational rigor — not just creative — turns a hit into a billion-dollar franchise

Mobile · Hidden object
≈$3B

June's Journey

Product leadership at Wooga (Playtika). Approaching $3B in lifetime revenue. Proof that careful production and audience intuition compound over years, not quarters

Trading systems
Live

Autonomous trading infrastructure

Production AI running with capital at risk, every day. Different domain — same discipline. AI you can trust with money is a useful proof of what AI you can trust with a customer looks like

SaaS · Creator intelligence
Live

Jottly

AI-powered brand intelligence for professional creators. 51 specialised agents across seven departments, five-platform parallel analysis, a five-dimensional authority model. Production on Vercel + Railway at jottly.tools — our proof we ship consumer-grade AI, not strategy decks

Internal · Marketing OS
Live

Marketing OS

The operating system we use to run Higher Agency's own marketing — content, campaigns, inbound routing, measurement — as a single AI-native loop. Evidence that the product discipline we bring to clients is the same one we run on ourselves

04 — The delivery moat

Most agencies show up with a deck.
We show up with Alexandria

Alexandria is the AI platform we built to do our own work — and the platform you inherit when you work with us. 170 specialised agents, a routing layer that picks the right one for the job, and a learning system that gets sharper after every engagement

  • 170 specialised agents — strategy, research, design, ops, code, review, analytics
  • 25,000+ tournament runs — agents are evaluated against each other, not just shipped on faith
  • Routing intelligence — the right specialist for the right problem, automatically
  • Compounding leverage — one operator + Alexandria delivers what 5–10 generalists used to

05 — Get in touch

One conversation, no deck.
We'll tell you whether AI is the right call here

The first call is 30 minutes with a founder. We come prepared on your business, you come prepared on your problem, and we both leave knowing whether there's a fit. If there isn't, we'll point you to someone better suited — and mean it

  • 30 minutes, founder on the call, no junior screen
  • We arrive with a perspective on your business — not a generic intro deck
  • You leave with a written next step, regardless of whether we work together
