One price. The whole team.
Your complete marketing team for $5,000 per month.
Industry, number of locations and business complexity do not change the fee. What changes month to month is where we point the effort, and that is decided together in your roadmap.
$5,000 / mo
- Strategy, advertising management, SEO and AI search, authority content, social, website optimization and analytics
- Advertising media billed separately at cost plus 15%
- Month to month, cancel with 30 days' notice
How media is billed
Media is always separate from our fee, and you approve every budget before it is spent.
15% media management
All advertising media is billed at cost plus 15%. One rate, every platform, every budget level, including media bought through our programmatic and CTV partners.
No tiers, no thresholds, and no penalty for scaling. When your spend grows, our rate stays the same.
- Platform setup and campaign structure
- Daily pacing and budget control
- Bid, audience and placement optimization
- Placement quality and fraud monitoring
- Consolidated billing and reporting
Every campaign needs a floor
Below these numbers a campaign cannot reach enough of your market to produce a result you can read. We would rather tell you that up front.
- Search $1,000 Google and Microsoft Ads, per month
- Meta & social $1,000 Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, per month
- Display & programmatic $1,000 Including retargeting and geofencing
- CTV & video $2,500 Connected television, YouTube, digital audio
Each campaign covers one market. Adding a market adds a campaign minimum.
Stretching one budget across a wider territory is the most common reason local campaigns fail. We would rather win one market than show up faintly in three.
Creative rates, published
One rate sheet governs both extra creative on your monthly plan and standalone projects. Nothing is prepaid, and the more creative you use, the less every hour costs.
| Hours beyond your allowance | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 10 hours | $155 /hr |
| Up to 20 hours | $145 /hr |
| Up to 30 hours | $135 /hr |
| 31 hours and beyond | $125 /hr |
| Media production Videography and photography, on location within 30 miles of our Greenville office or in studio. Travel beyond that is quoted separately. | $450/hr |
- On your monthly plan: extra hours are estimated on the roadmap, approved by you, then billed at month end.
- On a scoped project: hours are estimated against a written scope, 50% to start and 50% once half of them are used.
- Every hour is logged and visible in StoryApp™.
- Rates may change on notice.
One page. Thirty days' notice.
No long-term contract. Either of us can end the agreement with 30 days' written notice, for any reason. We would rather earn next month than trap you in it.
- Billing
Monthly in advance. Invoices issue on the first and are due by the twenty-fifth for the following month.
- First invoice
Due on acceptance. Work begins once it clears. Late balances carry 1.5% per month.
- Results
We commit to the work, the roadmap and the reporting. No honest agency guarantees outcomes.
- AI use
We use AI tools in research and drafting. Everything published is edited by a person and approved by you.
- Ownership
On payment you own the final deliverables we create for you.
- Your part
Timely access, assets and approvals. Delays there move timelines, not the fee.
What if $5,000 a month is not where we are yet?
Then we will not sell you the full program spread too thinly. We will look at your budget, pick the single objective that matters most, and prescribe a narrower program built around it.
It is the same team and the same standards, just pointed at one thing instead of ten. Tell us the number you have and we will tell you honestly whether it can work.
In practice that usually looks like one of two shapes: a focused launch program built around a single objective, market and offer, or an organic authority program that makes you the answer in search without paid media.
