Which engagement fits you?

Three short questions. The answer points to where the money works hardest right now.

Question 1 of 3

What is the state of your marketing plan?

Strategy

Marketing audit

You are here if

  • No clear plan, or a plan nobody agrees on
  • Spend is happening without a way to judge it
  • You need direction before committing to a retainer

Partnership

Fractional marketing leadership

You are here if

  • A plan exists with no senior owner
  • The founder is still the marketing decision-maker
  • You want an executive partner without an executive hire

Execution

Websites, content, and campaigns

You are here if

  • A plan and an owner, not enough capacity
  • A specific site, campaign, or content build is waiting
  • You want a defined scope with a defined price

How pricing works

Published hourly rates

Every rate is visible on this page and in the Project Scope Estimator. No form, no call, no negotiation required to see them.

Fixed-fee before work starts

Engagements are quoted as a defined scope. You know the total cost, the deliverables, and the timeline before anything is signed.

No retainers for project work

Project work is billed against the scoped estimate. Partnership work is monthly. The structure matches the commitment, not the other way around.

Need an exact quote?

The Project Scope Estimator lets you pick an engagement type and service to see the actual rate. No contact details required.

Still deciding on the model?

Fractional CMO, agency, or in-house hire

A side-by-side comparison of what each option costs, what each one owns, and which fits a growth-stage company right now.

Common questions

Cost and fit questions, answered plainly. Links point to the audit page, the fractional CMO comparison, and the estimator.

What does a marketing audit cost and what do I receive?

Most audits run between $2,500 and $5,000, scoped to 10–20 hours over two to three weeks. You get a prioritized read of positioning, channels, customer experience, and pipeline, with three decisions mapped to owners and dates.

How does fractional CMO pricing compare to an agency or in-house hire?

Fractional leadership typically ranges from $3,500 to $10,500 per month, well below a full-time executive salary and without the overhead of a traditional agency retainer. The exact fit depends on how much ownership you need inside the team.

Are your rates hourly or fixed-fee?

Both, depending on the engagement. Published hourly rates are $150–$250 per hour, but every project is quoted as a fixed fee before work starts. Partnership work is billed monthly against the agreed hourly commitment.

What pushes an engagement toward the high or low end of the range?

Scope, speed, and stakeholder complexity. A focused audit on one channel costs less than a full positioning, pipeline, and competitive review. A website with custom integrations costs more than a content-forward build.

How does the Project Scope Estimator work?

Pick an engagement type, then select the services you need. The estimator shows the actual hourly rate and a rough range based on typical hours, with no contact form required.

Which engagement should I start with?

Start with an audit when there is no clear plan or no way to judge current spend. Choose fractional leadership when a plan exists but lacks a senior owner. Choose execution when the plan and owner are in place and the constraint is capacity.

Next step

Start where the leverage is highest.

Every engagement opens with the same question: what decision is waiting on better information? An audit answers it in weeks, not quarters.
