Every company has different needs and different resources at different times—that’s why we offer a variety of engagement options:
Engagement Models and Pricing
From basic send-aheads and leave-behinds to flagship pieces, we will create purpose-built content to achieve your objectives
- Best for: companies with very specific needs and/or relatively limited budgets
- Pricing is somewhat formulaic, and is strongly influenced by three factors explained below
Tap into our experience to build strong foundations, to seize opportunities, and to handle especially challenging projects
- Best for: when you need assistance with heavy lifting or you require certain specialized expertise
- Each project is a custom scope of work based upon your needs and parameters
Leverage our broad skills to catch up on a backlog, to jump ahead, or simply to help out during a busy stretch
- Best for: companies that have a steady volume of work and the discipline to execute effectively
- Available in three-month subscriptions tiered by the average weekly workload
No matter which approach you choose, we’ll become a virtual extension of your team (many of our clients add us to their Slack workspace) working diligently to help you reach your goals.
Please note:

- Canadian customers: add 13% HST

Important notes:
- There is extremely limited availability for this engagement model
- Statistically speaking (based upon our experience with dozens of clients), it’s probably not the right approach for you—for this model to make sense, you need a combination of a suitable amount of work plus the responsiveness (e.g., to answer our questions, to review our drafts) to keep things moving
- We’ll let you know if we’re being underutilized and we’ll even make suggestions about where we can contribute more, but it really is your responsibility to keep us busy
- Load variation is fine (e.g., mix of busier weeks, moderate weeks, and lighter weeks), provided the average stays within parameters
- Invoices will be issued monthly and will include a high-level view of activities (i.e., we’re not doing timesheets or granular breakdowns—this relationship is built on trust)
