36 employees.
One of them eats.
This is the actual org chart. Seven departments, each with a head and a team, and every name on it is real software running real client work. The job titles are honest. The headcount is technically a lie.
- Paid partnership
- Some links below are affiliate links, and AF&U may earn a commission if you sign up through one — at no extra cost to you. It never decides who makes this list.
- How the list is decided
- One rule: it has to be running in the business today, paid for out of our own revenue, on live client work. Nothing is here because a vendor asked, and nothing is here on a free trial. Where we dropped one, it moved to Severance at the bottom rather than quietly disappearing. Seventeen of the names below run no affiliate programme at all and are listed anyway, because the roster is meant to be the truth about how the work gets done.
Runs the agency from Beirut and Paris. Signs off on everything below, and is the only one on this page who takes a salary, a holiday, or offence.
Executive
1Reads everything. Disagrees in writing. Every real decision here happens twice — once in my head, once after Claude has argued with it.
Creative
4Every ad, every reel, every product shot. Soul ID holds the same face across forty clips, which is the whole reason this department exists at all.
Commerce
3Runs our own store and every client storefront we touch. The boring choice, and boring has never once cost us a weekend.
Infrastructure
3Hosts the automation server that runs the agency. Cheap, awake at 4am, and has never emailed anyone about an unlimited PTO policy.
Engineering
1Does the recurring work while I sleep. The closest thing on this page to a second employee, and the only one with a job description that keeps growing.
Intelligence
3Shows who ChatGPT names in your category, and who it has never heard of. Usually you are the second one.
Growth
3Posts while you sleep, reports when you wake, and has no opinion about your caption.
Pays us nothing
17Seventeen of the names above run no affiliate programme, or one we have not joined. They are here because they do the work, and leaving them out to make the page tidier would be the exact dishonesty the rest of it avoids. Nothing on this row earns us a cent.
Severance
Let go without hard feelings: Cursor, replaced by Claude Code. Notion, replaced by Obsidian. Runway, replaced by Higgsfield. Ollama, replaced by a cheaper bill. A stack you never fire from is a stack you stopped auditing.
Want a team like this without hiring one?
That is the product. We bring the roster, the wiring and the receipts. You bring a brand brave enough to be specific.
