Pricing
How Much Will It Cost?
The simple answer is: it depends.
Here's the more in-depth answer: 90% of marketing agencies don't address pricing at all on their websites, and every agency offers somewhat different strategies and services, so it can be difficult to compare one agency to another.
But we understand not all organizations can afford the rates we charge, and we don't want you to waste your time if budget constraints make it unrealistic. We don't "line-item" the services or track directly against hours, but you can use $150/hr as a rough approximation of how we arrive at our fees.
In most cases, price should not be the primary factor in determining who you hire. Marketing agencies are not interchangeable. It's important to find a marketing partner that has the right strategy for your business and has the best chance of generating real ROI.
We have a specific approach to marketing and find that it works best when we do the right things in the right order. Here's how we price our core services:

Ongoing Implementation
$5k-$15k/m
For ongoing marketing services you'll need to pay for three things 1) someone to lead the strategy, 2) the labor hours it takes to write/design/post stuff, and 3) distribution on platforms like LinkedIn and Google Ads.
You will pay for these things with some sort of combination of your own time, the time of your in-house staff, and by paying freelancers or an outside agency.
