OUR PRICING Explained in 20 Seconds
Monthly Retainer Pricing
Ongoing work = Monthly fees.
If you want long-term help managing your social media (strategy, content, publishing, and
optimization), you should expect a monthly retainer.
Organic social packages start at
$8,500 /mo
Ad Management packages start at
$3,500 /mo
This covers the ongoing social activities agreed to in the scope of work. If your goals shift, the plan can shift too.
If you want paid layered in, we scope that based on your targets, spend level, and creative volume —
because the creative is usually the real bottleneck.
We don't do vague retainers that turn into "we posted three times and sent a report."
What's not included
Ad spend is billed through your account. You keep control of spend, receipts, and ownership of the account.
We’re the team that runs the work — you keep the wallet and
the visibility.
What your retainer buys you
A lot of teams try to “keep up” with social. Then real work
happens and social becomes the first thing that slips.
We fix that by running the engine end-to-end: strategy →
production → publishing → optimization.
Are we a good fit?
Most clients fall into one of two groups
Brand Lift + Audience Growth
You want to be in the conversation. You care about
attention, positioning, and long-term trust.
Demand + Revenue
You want social to drive pipeline and prove ROI — with
creative that performs and campaigns that are actually
managed.
