YOU’VE ASKED, WE ANSWERED

How is working with you better than an in-house hire?

To be totally honest, are you able to hire 2–4 employees? That’s what you’ll get with us, no matter what service tier type you choose. At a minimum, your project will have two team members dedicated to working both for you and with you. We are committed to learning about your organization as holistically as an in-house staff member would, because that kind of knowledge is integral to performing well in the marketing and fundraising spaces. We like to view ourselves as an extension of your team—and we think you will, too!

What sets your agency apart from others in the industry?

Fair question! With so many agencies out there, distinguishing the ripple-makers can be tough. We've been in business for nearly a decade, with some clients staying with us for almost the entire journey. What sets us apart is our mutual vetting process: we provide case studies and referrals, and conduct no fewer than three exploratory calls before moving forward.

Our team is committed to making and impact and only work with mission-driven businesses and nonprofits. Our expertise in understanding board dynamics, complex reporting, and nuanced subject matter.

Most importantly, we're honest about our capabilities. If we don’t feel we're the right fit for your project, we won’t take the account and we'll happily refer you to an aligned partner.

How will you communicate with me and my team?

We’ll set up a dedicated Slack channel so you can message us anytime within our working hours. The foundation of our relationship will be standing calls (frequency depends on your contract level) with both teams. We're best thought of as remote employees.

We answer emails and Slacks promptly—for real. You aren’t going to be waiting to hear back from us.

How do you develop your strategies?

We’re a data-driven team dedicated to keeping our finger on the pulse of an evolving industry and world. We make our decisions about strategy based on the org-specific data you share, industry best practices, and pulling from what we’ve learned over more than 50 collective years of experience.

How much does all this cost?

Our retained marketing packages begin as low as $5,000 a month. We quote on an individual basis for design, branding, and campaign projects, which generally start at a $15,000 minimum depending on duration. For more specific pricing quotes, contact us.
