Retainers

​Ongoing marketing, design, and strategy support — tailored to your business goals and delivered with consistency and clarity.

​

A retainer is a recurring monthly partnership that gives your business ongoing access to our team’s expertise — so you don’t have to re-brief new freelancers or pay for every single task separately. With a retainer, you get predictable support, consistent deliverables, and strategic momentum month after month.​​​​​

Types of Retainers

Deliverable-Based Retainer: 

A set list of deliverables each month — e.g., 2 email newsletter, 1 blog post + quarterly reports, etc. 

 

​Time-Based Retainers:

A specific number of hours per month that can be used for any service. 

​

Or a mix of the two.
