Every client partnership is unique; typically engagements run in the $25K-
$250K range depending on scope, and subs run from $2500-$20K per month.
While what we offer is highly competitive, we base our fees on value, not on
price. Here’s our basic formula for scoping a partnership:
x PROJECTED TIME
ENGAGEMENT + SUBSCRIPTION # OF BRANDS
# OF STAKEHOLDERS x PROJECTED COSTS
# OF ASSETS
x PROJECTED KPIs
= NEW SUSTAINED VALUE
