Partner application
Apply to become a Hackettes wholesale partner.
Wholesale partner spots are limited. We onboard a small number of agencies each quarter so we can give every partner real attention. If your agency is serious about adding social media as a recurring revenue line, we want to hear from you.
Jump to the application →Who we say yes to.
We are most useful to small and mid-sized creative agencies who already serve clients but have always referred social media work out, said no to it, or built half a solution. If most of these sound like you, you are probably a fit.
✓
Your team is between 1 and 25 people.
Solo founders and small studios welcome. Larger agencies are usually a fit too.
✓
Your clients ask about social media.
And you currently say no, refer them out, or wing it with a freelancer.
✓
You want recurring revenue you do not have to deliver yourself.
Wholesale margin on social is some of the cleanest recurring revenue in the agency world.
✓
You can commit to one new client account in the first 30 days.
We want partners who will use what we build together, not collect contracts.
Who we say no to.
We are not a fit for everyone, and we would rather tell you upfront than waste your time on a discovery call. Skip the application if these describe you.
✗
You want the cheapest possible social media fulfillment.
There are cheaper options. We are not one of them.
✗
You are not actually an agency.
We do not partner with coaches, consultants without service offerings, or affiliate marketers looking for something to resell.
✗
You want to white-label our brand to compete with us.
We protect the Hackettes name. Partners resell under their own brand, not ours.
✗
You want to test us with one account and decide if you like us in three weeks.
Wholesale partnerships work when both sides commit. If you are testing the waters, the homepage is a better starting point than this form.
The application.
Takes about 4 minutes. We respond within 48 business hours.
What happens after you apply.
1
We review your application.
Within 48 business hours we read your application end to end and decide whether to invite you to a discovery call. We do not invite every applicant.
2
30-minute discovery call.
If we see fit, we send a calendar link. The call covers your agency, your clients, your goals, and exactly how our stack would fit into your business. No pitch deck, no high-pressure close.
3
Approval and onboarding.
If both sides want to move forward, we send a partner agreement, set up your workspace, and have your first client account live within 7 days of contract signature.
Common questions before applying.
Do I need to use a specific platform or CRM to be a partner?+
No. Our partner dashboard works regardless of what CRM you use to manage your own clients. We integrate cleanly with most modern agency tech stacks.
Can I white-label your service under my own brand?+
Yes. That is the entire point of wholesale partnership. Your clients never need to know we exist. Project workspaces, scheduling, and reporting can all be branded for your agency.
Is there a minimum commitment or contract length?+
Yes. Partners commit to a 3-month minimum on each client account. After 3 months it becomes month-to-month with 30 days notice to cancel.
Do I need to bring clients with me to apply?+
No, but you should have a realistic plan to bring at least one client account onboard in the first 30 days. We work best with partners actively selling social, not partners hoping to start.
What if my agency is brand new?+
We have onboarded partners as young as 6 months in. The bar is not agency age, it is whether you have a real customer base or pipeline to sell to. If you are pre-revenue, this is not the right time.
How much do I have to charge my clients?+
Whatever you want. Partners typically resell our wholesale tiers at $499 to $899 per client per month. You set the price, you keep the margin.
