You’re Growing – But You’re Also Juggling
If you’re running a growing business, chances are you’ve been in this loop:
One day, you’re in creative flow, mapping new ideas and big goals. The next, you’re buried in backend tech issues, chasing social content deadlines, or updating a half-broken website you haven’t touched in months.
You’re doing it all, but it’s starting to wear you down.
You didn’t build your brand to spend your nights learning automations or stressing over Instagram reels. You built it to make an impact – and to do that, you need space.
That’s where strategic delegation comes in — not just outsourcing tasks to save time but building a smart, brand-aligned support system that lets you stay focused on what you do best.
At twelve-o-one, we help small-but-mighty business owners scale with intention. Here’s how to decide what to delegate, what to own, and how to keep your brand’s heart at the centre while you grow.
What to Delegate: Tasks That Steal Your Time (and Drain Your Energy)
Delegating isn’t about giving up control. It’s about getting your time and clarity back so you can lead with purpose.
We recommend outsourcing these areas to experts — the ones that need attention but don’t require you to do it yourself.
1. Social Media Strategy & Content Execution
You know your brand deserves better than last-minute posts and outdated visuals. But planning, creating, posting, and engaging across platforms takes serious time and strategy – especially when juggling everything else.
Delegate:
- Content calendars, captions, and visual design
- Reels, stories, and post scheduling
- Platform management and engagement support
Example: Happy Bird Music Studio
This Ottawa-based music studio came to twelve-o-one looking for structure. Their team offered incredible programs for kids and adults, but they were stuck in the cycle of inconsistent posting and last-minute event promotion.
We helped them build a system that supported monthly camp launches, school-year program reminders, and seasonal events – all while giving their brand a fun, family-friendly presence online. With clear planning and support, their enrolment and engagement grew, and their stress decreased. They were able to reach new demographics while continuing to engage their existing community.
2. Website & Brand Refresh
Your brand is evolving – but your website and visual identity haven’t caught up. Maybe you’ve outgrown your DIY design. Or maybe you’ve added new services but haven’t had time to reflect that anywhere public.
A strong brand deserves a digital presence to match.
✅ Delegate:
- Website design & development
- Mobile responsiveness, SEO, and maintenance
- Brand identity updates (fonts, colours, logo usage, tone of voice)
💡 Example: We Are Raising The Bar
Founder Abbie was ready to take her alcohol-free subscription box business to the next level. She turned to twelve-o-one for website support, content structure, and marketing systems that could scale.
“Nancy really listened to our challenges and helped put plans and strategies in place to help grow the business. Working with twelve-o-one allowed me to step back from some of the day-to-day challenges of a small business and focus more on strategy and growth.”
— Abbie R., CEO, We Are Raising The Bar
We created a consistent social and digital strategy, addressed backend tech issues, and implemented better systems, freeing Abbie to focus on growth, partnerships, and the big picture.
What You Should Own (Because It Comes From the Heart)
There are parts of your business that can’t be outsourced – and shouldn’t be.
These are the elements that carry your why, your story, and your energy. You don’t need to do everything, but you do need to stay close to:
Your Voice – No one can tell your story like you. We help you refine and reflect your message, but the core needs to come from you.
Your Vision – You know where you’re headed. We help you shape the path, but your values drive the direction.
Your Relationships – Automated tools are great, but people connect with people. Especially if you’re founder-led, clients and customers still want a sense of your presence.
At twelve-o-one, our goal isn’t to replace you – it’s to support you. So you can stay in your zone of genius while we ensure your brand shows up consistently and clearly across every channel.
You Deserve Space to Lead – Not Just Time to Work
The business owners we support aren’t hands-off — they’re driven, creative, and deeply committed to their work. They care about every detail, every client, and every piece of their brand. But they’re also human. And the truth is: sustainable growth takes more than grit. It requires clarity, systems, and smart support.
You can’t scale if you’re constantly tied up in the day-to-day — chasing content deadlines, troubleshooting tech, or wearing ten hats just to keep things moving. That’s where we come in.
At twelve-o-one, we help implement systems and strategies that free up your time so you can focus on your bigger vision: leading your brand, building relationships, and driving meaningful growth.
Whether you’re running a music studio, launching a subscription box, scaling an e-commerce business, or growing a service-based brand — you don’t have to do it all alone.
If you’re ready to scale with clarity – not chaos – this guide will help.
