When a Miami Agency’s Dev Let Them Down, We Rebuilt the Project in Days

The Agency

Michael Anzola is the CEO of Elite X Media, a two-person digital marketing agency based in Miami, Florida. They specialize in social media marketing, lead generation, video production, SEO, and web design, with $15M+ in revenue generated for their clients and $12M+ in ad spend managed. Small team, serious results.

What Was Breaking

EliteX had a client project in trouble. They’d hired a developer to handle the UX design and WordPress build, but the work fell short. The design wasn’t up to standard, the development didn’t meet expectations, and the end client wasn’t happy with what was delivered.

The worst part? EliteX had already paid for the work. They were stuck with a bad deliverable, a frustrated client, and a deadline that wasn’t moving.

They needed someone who could step in, start over, and deliver fast.

How We Stepped In

Michael found Agon Studios on Fiverr. We understood the situation immediately: a two-person agency that had already spent money on a failed deliverable and needed the project rescued, not re-sold.

So we offered a discounted rate. They’d already been burned financially, and the priority was getting the project right, not squeezing the margin. That’s how partnerships start.

We took over the entire project:

• Full UX/UI redesign from scratch
• Complete WordPress development
• New pages beyond the original scope
• Delivered in days, not weeks

The end client was happy. EliteX looked like heroes. And what started as an emergency became a relationship.

What We’ve Built Since

That one rescue project turned into 10+ projects together. What started on Fiverr evolved into an ongoing white-label partnership. EliteX kept growing, expanding into AI services, and we kept building alongside them.

From a panicked “can you fix this?” message to a multi-year working relationship, all because we showed up when it mattered and didn’t try to profit from their bad situation.

In His Words

“We worked with Kazi for a long time and he was our go-to Web developer. He’s very knowledgeable and proficient in everything regarding Web Design. I highly recommend him since he is a great asset.”
Michael Anzola, CEO at Elite X Media

What It Freed Them To Do

With Agon Studios handling the design and dev work, Michael and his partner could focus on what they do best: marketing strategy, ad campaigns, video production, and client relationships. They stopped worrying about whether their dev would deliver and started saying yes to bigger projects.

EliteX went from a team that got burned by an unreliable developer to an agency that scaled to 10+ projects with a partner they trust. They’ve since expanded into AI services, and they’re still growing.

Sometimes the best partnerships don’t start with a pitch deck. They start with someone picking up the phone when things are falling apart.
