RETAINER

Considering a retainer for ongoing support?

Let’s explore your needs!

A retainer is a commitment to consistent support so we can plan ahead, stay aligned with your goals, and make real progress together. It’s ideal for clients who want to count on consistent access to strategic advising, support with execution, and refinement.

An additional benefit is a reduced hourly rate.

Are you prepared…. ? Plan ahead to get ahead.

Are you prepared…. ? Plan ahead to get ahead.

What you get:

A monthly block of strategic support and execution time at a preferred rate, with reserved calendar space and consistent planning so we can build momentum together for the following:

  • Strategy sessions

  • Project execution and refinements

  • Reporting and analysis

  • Priority scheduling and planning

Unused hours (up to 1) can roll over to the next month if booked in advance. Any work beyond your monthly retainer is billed at $175/hour and invoiced on the 15th. No discounts apply.

Pricing and Right-Sizing Your Retainer:

From focused strategy to fully integrated support, it is important to scope out where you are and what level of partnership, execution, and momentum you need.

  • 1 Hour — $150/hr
    One focused strategy session per month.
    Best for quick alignment or decision-making support and getting a monthly newsletter out to your audience.
    Does not include ongoing execution (social media, events, or website updates).

  • 5 Hours — $100/hr
    Light, ongoing support for things like web refinements, newsletters, and strategy that you COULD do but don’t have the time or interest.
    Ideal for maintaining momentum without heavy lift.

  • 10 Hours — $90/hr
    Consistent support with room for execution across social, ads, or event marketing.
    Minimum tier for weekly meetings.

  • 15 Hours — $85/hr
    Deeper partnership across strategy, delivery, and focused growth.
    Designed for brands ready to build and scale with intention and consistency.

  • 20 Hours — $80/hr
    Fractional support with integrated planning, execution, and management.
    Best for teams looking for a strategic partner long-term.

Monthly retainers operate as a recurring subscription via Stripe. Any additional hours are $150/hr.

No. Free. Work.

As a working parent, I have a strict NO FREE WORK policy.

That means I don’t ask friends for free work and they know not to ask me for free work. To respect everyone’s time, please book a zero-risk 15 minute call to “pick my brain,” more time to scope out PAID work, or a prepaid consultation call as needed.

No more “bill me later” shenanigans outside of retainers either! We meet with clear goals and payment terms.

Clear communication of expectations:

To ensure efficient use of our time together:

  • All requests must be submitted in writing via email or our shared project document.

  • Text messages should be reserved for urgent matters. (Ex. On my way! I’m running late.)

  • Time spent responding to texts, unscheduled calls, or out-of-scope requests will be applied toward your retainer hours. Additional time is billed at the standard hourly rate.

  • Please join scheduled meetings from a quiet, distraction-free environment. If connectivity or location limits productivity, we can reschedule to respect of everyone’s time.

Clear communication protects both of us and ensures we stay focused on meaningful progress.

Please reach out with any questions before subscribing so we can align expectations in advance.
