The Creative Partner
Ongoing strategy and execution.Marketing doesn't end at launch. The Creative Partner is an ongoing retainer where strategy and execution meet, and stay met, month after month.
You get campaign planning, content direction, design assets, website updates and landing pages, messaging refinement, and more, from an expert.
It's the right fit for most clients, because most businesses don't need one thing. They need a trusted partner who knows the whole picture and keeps moving it forward.
With this partnership, you get both marketing strategy and execution, so it’s the best of both worlds. Together we build a solid strategy, and then it gets carried all the way through to execution.
This is the sweet spot! My primary retainer for most clients.
What you’llwalk away with
Ongoing marketing strategy and execution.
01
Campaign planning and content direction.
02
Design assets (but not a full brand identity; that is a separate project).
03
Website updates and landing page builds (but not full website builds; that is a separate project).
04
Messaging refinement.
05
Why invest in an ongoing creative partnership?Most businesses don’t actually need a full internal marketing department. They need someone who already knows how to build a strategy and execute it, without the overhead of hiring, training, and managing that expertise in-house.
Having both strategy and execution from one expert offers huge value for less than the cost of one full-time strategist salary, let alone a whole team.
Why this is the right choice.
You don't need just a strategist or just someone to execute. This is for when you need both, from the same person, who already knows the whole picture. This is that partnership.

Common Questions About The Creative Partner
What’s actually included in each month?
1
Campaign planning, content direction, design assets, website updates and landing pages, tracking and analytics, and messaging refinement — the strategy and the execution, month after month. It’s the whole picture, kept moving forward.
No. Those are separate projects (The Brand Build and The Web Build, respectively). The Creative Partner includes design assets and website updates and landing pages within the ongoing partnership, but a from-scratch brand system or full site build is scoped and priced on its own.
Does this include a full brand identity or a full website build?
2
$4,500 per month for 10 hours/week of work (or $2,500 per month for 5 hours/week), beginning with a required 3-month commitment. This is a partnership built to know your whole picture, and that takes more than one month to start paying off. In fact, it usually takes more like 3-6 months.
What’s the investment, and is there a minimum commitment?

If you don’t just need one thing done, or one deliverable a month, but a trusted partner handling both strategy and execution together — this is the fit. It’s the primary retainer for most clients for a reason: most businesses don’t need a single piece created. They need someone who already knows the whole picture and keeps it moving.
How do I know if I need The Creative Partner instead of a smaller service?
