Engagements

Three ways in

Same studio, same standard of work. The difference is how much you are committing to at once, and how quickly you need it.

Engagement options

Focused

VIP Day

One studio day on one problem, with you available for the whole of it. Best when you already know what you need and want it built rather than proposed.

Price on request Booked two to three weeks out. Placeholder until the rate card is confirmed.
  • A pre-call to agree the single outcome
  • One full working day, start to finish
  • Everything produced that day is yours
  • A written summary of what to do next
Start a project

Most common

Defined

Project

A scoped build with a price and a date. A brand, a website, a campaign or an AI system. The most common way clients start with us.

From a project minimum Most projects run three to eight weeks. Placeholder until the rate card is confirmed.
  • A written scope before anything begins
  • Fixed price, agreed milestones
  • Shipped in usable pieces, not one reveal
  • Documentation and handover included
Start a project

Ongoing

Growth Partnership

Monthly. We own the roadmap and keep improving what is live, with build capacity reserved for you each month.

Monthly retainer Usually begins after a first project. Placeholder until the rate card is confirmed.
  • Reserved capacity, not leftover hours
  • A fixed reporting and call cadence
  • Priority on anything urgent
  • Three month minimum, then monthly
Start a project

Every engagement is quoted in writing before it starts. You will never get an invoice for something that was not in the scope you approved.

Choosing

Which one fits

Name it in a day

If you can name the single thing you want done and it would fit in a day, book a VIP Day. A landing page, brand refresh direction, one automation, one campaign build.

Bigger, with a finish line

If the outcome is bigger than a day and has a clear end, take a project. This is how most clients start, and the only honest way to price a brand or a full site.

Work that never finishes

Advertising, lifecycle email and any live system never really finish. A growth partnership costs less than repeatedly re-scoping small projects.

However you start

The same four steps, whether it is a day or a year

Nothing gets built before it is mapped, and nothing ships without a way to tell whether it worked.

Map

We walk the current process with you: where leads come from, what happens next, where it stalls. You get a written map and a shortlist of what to fix first.

Scope

One document: what we build, what it costs, what we need from you, and when it lands. Nothing starts before you have read it and agreed to it.

Build

We ship in usable pieces rather than one reveal at the end, so you can react early. Everything is documented as it is built, in language your team can follow.

Measure

We agree what success looks like before launch, then report against it. If a number is not moving, we say so and change the approach.

Questions

Before you get in touch

How quickly can you start?

Usually within two to three weeks of a signed scope. VIP Days book on a similar horizon. If something is genuinely urgent, say so in your enquiry and we will tell you honestly whether we can take it.

What do you need from us?

A single decision maker who can approve work, access to the accounts and tools we are working in, and answers to questions within a couple of days. Projects stall on approvals far more often than on production.

How does billing work?

Projects are billed against milestones, starting with a deposit that reserves the schedule. Retainers are billed monthly in advance. Every invoice references the scope item it belongs to.

Do we own what you build?

Yes. Source files, accounts, domains and code are yours, in your own accounts wherever possible. We do not hold your assets hostage as a retention strategy, and we hand over documentation whether or not you stay.

Do you work with our existing team or vendors?

Often. We can own everything, or fill the specific gap and coordinate with whoever else is involved. What we will not do is duplicate work someone else is already doing well.

How do you use AI in the work?

Two ways, and we keep them separate. We build AI systems for clients as a service. Internally, we use AI where it speeds up drafting and analysis, and a person reviews everything before it reaches you. Nothing goes to a customer without a human having read it.

Next step

Tell us your stage. We will tell you what to do first.

A person reads every enquiry and replies, usually within one business day. If we are not the right studio for the job, we will say so.
