Pricing

I'll tell you what the work costs before you commit to a retainer.

The paid media Sprint is $3,500. The AI Clarity Session is $1,500. Both end with a written plan you keep, even if we stop there.

Diagnose

Start with the problem you're trying to solve.

  • Paid media, start here $3,500fixed, thirty days

    Foundations Sprint

    Every new management client starts here, no exceptions.

    • Tracking and account audit by day 7, wasted spend in dollars
    • Tracking rebuilt and verified by day 14
    • Account restructured and live by day 30
    • A 90-day roadmap and a board-ready baseline you keep
    What happens in the thirty days
  • AI systems, start here $1,500fixed, one week

    AI Clarity Session

    One three-hour working session on your real tasks, then a written roadmap.

    • The one task that ate your week, done by hand, then written as a job description
    • Rung one working before you leave the room
    • Every candidate task with its build cost and its hours back
    • The ones not worth doing, named
    What the week looks like
  • Then Quotedfrom the roadmap, never from a menu

    Build and Run

    Builds are fixed scope, fixed price, with an end date. Running is monthly and renews.

    • Paid media management: monthly, banded to your ad spend, 90-day initial term, scope by deliverables not hours
    • Automation builds: fixed price per workflow, approval gates included
    • System care: monthly, with a log of what ran and what you approved
    • A direct paid media retainer starts at $10,000 a month in ad spend. If you spend less, I'll tell you what I'd recommend instead

How the pricing works

How ongoing work is priced.

  • Diagnosis before ongoing work

    The Sprint or Clarity Session defines the work and its cost before you decide on a build or retainer.

  • Scope matched to budget

    If the budget cannot cover the work, I'll say so and show you what a smaller scope would leave out.

  • Deliverables, not hours

    Management scales by what is delivered: platforms, creative testing, weekly availability. You are not buying a timesheet.

  • Quoted on the call, in writing after it

    Ongoing prices depend on your spend and your roadmap, so they are quoted live and confirmed in writing. No surprise line items, no percentage of spend hidden in a fee.

Questions about cost

Asked on most first calls.

Why is the first step paid?

Because the roadmap is the most valuable thing I make, and when it is free it gets ignored. Paying $1,500 or $3,500 for a plan you keep is cheaper than a month of a retainer you did not need.

Does the Sprint count toward the retainer?

Part of it does. A credit toward month one applies when you convert within two weeks of the Sprint closing. The exact figure is in the Sprint agreement.

What if I spend less than $10,000 a month on ads?

A direct management retainer is probably the wrong shape. I'll tell you that on the first call and recommend the next step that makes sense for your budget. That may be a scoped strategy project or Amplify.

Do you take a percentage of ad spend?

No. Retainers are flat monthly fees banded to your trailing three-month spend and reviewed quarterly. Ad spend is always on your card and never marked up.

What do workshops cost?

It depends on the room: a single session for a company, a two-session series, or one-to-one coaching. Quoted on request. The sessions are described here.
