Retainers

Ongoing work, priced on value, not padded hours.

Marketing, software, IT support, and process/systems operations: a small senior team, on retainer.

How We Price Retainers

Priced on value, not padding

We price based on genuine value. If the value to you doesn't support the price, we'll say so instead of taking the engagement.

Tiers reflect real scope

What moves you between tiers is a mix of hours, scope, and the level of effort and knowledge a real engagement needs, not arbitrary packaging.

A senior team, not padded hours

You're paying for a small, focused, senior team and their judgment, not retainer hours burned by junior marketers or unreviewed AI output.

One tier, every category

These tiers apply across marketing, software, IT support, and process/systems retainers. Maintenance is included in every monthly retainer. No predatory ad-spend fees, no resold hosting, ever.

Retainer Questions

Maintenance is included in every monthly retainer: website and software upkeep, security patching, and monitoring are never billed as a separate line item.

During a real discovery conversation, not a self-serve calculator. We look at the actual scope, hours, and seniority the work needs and land on the tier that matches it, not the other way around.

Yes. These tiers apply across marketing, software, IT support, and process/systems operations. A single retainer can span more than one if that's what the work actually needs.

We'll tell you plainly if the work has outgrown the current tier and talk through moving up. We won't quietly let scope creep eat hours that were priced for something smaller.
