Modern Church

What Modern Church does

Modern Church, operating commercially as Sites at Scale, is a private digital marketing agency founded in 2019 and based in Pimpama, Australia. The firm sells a bundled suite of marketing services to small businesses and personal brands — including website development, brand design, SEO, podcast production, social media management, and a proprietary CRM called Lightning CRM. Service delivery is organized around a branded methodology called the Triple A Framework (Attention, Attraction, Accessibility), and is supported by a set of diagnostic tools (Small Business Marketing Scorecard, Playbook, Game Plan) that are used to qualify and onboard clients.

The business model is professional services, with quote-based engagement pricing and multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led: visitors land on the company website, are funnelled into a free marketing self-assessment and a discovery call, then proceed through a structured three-step process (Discovery Call, Design & Development, Delivery). The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and serves a horizontal mix of SMB and individual customers — coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, and small advertising or financial services firms — with a self-described global reach delivered remotely.

The underlying technology stack is conventional agency tooling rather than a proprietary platform. Lightning CRM is positioned as proprietary but is described in functional CRM terms (lead tracking, customer relationship management) rather than as a differentiated technology product. The company has no disclosed patents, API platform, software integrations, AI/ML capabilities, funding rounds, or institutional ownership in the input data. Strategic signals are limited to the addition of new service lines (podcast, social media, CRM) and the productization of its methodology into diagnostic tools.
