§ Pricing / Transparent

Posted prices.
No "let's talk."

We post our prices because we are confident in them. If a number on this page doesn't fit your budget, that's useful information for both of us inside thirty seconds.

§ Billing / How money works

No surprise invoices.

We bill the way an operator wants to be billed: a fixed number, on a predictable cadence, with the production passthroughs broken out so you always know what you're paying for.

§ FAQ

The questions you'll ask anyway.

Why post prices? Most agencies don't.

Because every "let's hop on a call to discuss pricing" wastes two days of both parties' time. Posted prices filter for the right conversations. If you're in the bracket, we talk. If you're not, we save you the call.

Why a 90-day minimum on retainers?

Because short-form algorithm signals don't stabilise in 30 days. We've tested it. Anything shorter optimises for vanity early wins and against durable lift. We won't take on a client we can't make demonstrably better.

What's included in "production passthroughs"?

Anything not produced by our in-house team: external shoot days, talent fees, paid music licensing, motion graphics specialists, and platform-side promotion (when explicitly requested and approved). All billed at cost with receipts attached to the monthly invoice.

Do you take equity in lieu of cash?

Rarely. For brand-new DTC brands with traction, we have a small program — typically a Build engagement traded for a small equity stake plus a reduced retainer for the first six months. Email if you want to pitch us on this.

Can we hire just one strategist hourly?

No. Hourly billing creates the wrong incentives on both sides. The closest thing is the Advisory half-day intensive — $5K, flat.

What if you don't move our numbers?

We've not yet had a client where median performance didn't lift inside the 90-day window. If that happened, we'd refund the most recent month and end the engagement. We don't talk our way around bad results.
