Engagement models

Work the way that fits.

Build and hand over

Defined scope, staged payments, keys included. Brand sprints, site builds, event systems: launched, documented and yours when it's done.

Build + retainer

The most common path: a real build up front, then a right-sized monthly, from light upkeep to full growth partner. It flexes as you do.

The fractional seat

CMO-level leadership on retainer: strategy, campaigns, press and the builds that follow. Or advisory hours if all you need is direction.
