Anthony Z.

Hey, I'm Tony. I co-founded LLT Group back in 2010 and have been running it ever since. We're a digital agency that hit #92 on the Inc. 5000 list, grew to 90+ employees at our peak, and have since right-sized to a leaner team of 30+. Along the way we've worked with 1,200+ clients across the US, from local mom-and-pop shops to billion-dollar enterprises.

I'm on Upwork because I genuinely enjoy helping other founders and agency owners untangle the operational stuff I've already lived through. Hiring, processes, scoping projects, picking the right vendors, fixing things that are quietly broken. The work most consultants gloss over but that actually moves the needle.

HERE'S HOW I CAN HELP:

The work I take on usually falls into one of these buckets, but every engagement gets scoped to what you actually need:

→ Fractional COO / Ops Advisor
For founders and agency owners running $500K to $10M businesses. We figure out what's actually breaking and fix it. Hiring, SOPs, margins, client delivery, team structure, or the big scaling decisions you've been putting off. Usually a monthly retainer.

→ Practical AI Implementation
The grassroots version, not the pie-in-the-sky kind. I help founders and operators figure out where AI actually moves the needle in their business, then we implement it. Sales follow-up, customer support triage, content workflows, internal SOPs, reporting. Real tools shipped in weeks, not a 40-page strategy deck. I've been doing this in my own businesses, so I know what works and what's hype.

→ Strategy Workshops & RFP Building
Before you spend $20K, $50K, or $200K on a web build, app, or platform, let's actually figure out what you need. I run focused workshops that pin down your feature set, cut the stuff that won't move the needle, and phase the rest into a real budget. I'll also help you write the RFP and vet incoming vendor proposals. This is what I do every day at LLT Group, just on your side of the table.

→ Website & Digital Project Reviews
About to drop $20K+ on a web agency, dev shop, or marketing vendor? Let me look at the proposal, scope, and contract before you sign. I've been on the other side of 1,200+ of these deals. I'll tell you what's missing, what's padded, and where the risk actually is.

→ Agency Operator Consulting
For agency owners stuck between $500K and $3M in revenue. Pricing, packaging, delivery ops, account management, hiring frameworks, vendor relationships. The stuff nobody teaches you.
