Every rate is visible on this page and in the Project Scope Estimator. No form, no call, no negotiation required to see them.
Engagements are quoted as a defined scope. You know the total cost, the deliverables, and the timeline before anything is signed.
Project work is billed against the scoped estimate. Partnership work is monthly. The billing structure follows the commitment.
The Project Scope Estimator lets you pick an engagement type and service to see the actual rate. No contact details required. Weighing an ongoing partnership instead? The fractional CMO cost calculator puts the monthly figure next to an agency retainer and a full-time hire.

What the rate buys
The same hourly rate covers strategy and the build behind it. Lumière HQ is the clearest example: positioning, product structure, and a live platform, done by one person.
B2B product, built in-house
Event information fragmented across spreadsheets, inboxes, calendars, and niche tools.
A portfolio structure that supports new products without rebuilding the brand.

Most audits run $1,250 to $2,500, scoped to 10 to 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.
Fractional leadership typically ranges from $2,500 to $7,500 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.
Both, depending on the engagement. The published rate is $125 per hour, but every project is quoted as a fixed fee before work starts. Partnership work is billed monthly against the agreed hourly commitment.
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.
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.
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
Every engagement opens with the same question: what decision is waiting on better information? An audit answers it in a few weeks.
