Retained Consulting

Expert marketing help, by the hour

Not every business needs someone to own the entire marketing plan. Our retained program gives you senior support when you need it, billed in 15-minute increments, with every service spelled out up front.

Who it's for

A good fit if you're…

  • You're just getting started with a marketing plan or budget.
  • You have an in-house person who needs an expert to lean on.
  • You need specific projects done well, not someone owning the whole plan.
  • You want senior help on a part-time basis without a big monthly commitment.

How it works

Simple, transparent, hourly

Billed in 15-minute increments

You pay for the time actually spent, tracked in quarter-hour increments. No padded hours, no rounding up to the day.

Services spelled out

Your agreement lists exactly which one-off services you receive, so you always know what's included and what isn't.

Room to grow

As your budget and goals grow, you can step up into a full fractional CMO partnership whenever it makes sense.
