How We Work

Retainer

Most of our clients work with us on a project retainer basis.


This provides a fixed allocation of development and growth time each month, which can be used across any area of your business depending on your priorities. This may include SEO, paid advertising, system development, automation, website improvements or ongoing technical support.


Rather than restricting you to predefined deliverables, this approach allows us to focus on what delivers the most commercial value at each stage of your growth.


All time is tracked against your account, giving you full visibility of how your investment is being used.


Front-Loading

Where clients commit to a defined term, we have the ability to front-load delivery to accelerate early progress.


This allows us to deploy a higher proportion of your allocated time within the first half of the agreement, enabling key systems, campaigns or infrastructure to be built and implemented sooner.


Monthly invoicing remains consistent across the full term, while delivery is prioritised where it creates the greatest early impact.


This approach is particularly effective for businesses looking to move quickly, launch new initiatives or resolve operational bottlenecks without delay.

Ad-Hoc 

We do support ad hoc work where required, typically suited to smaller or one-off requirements; or projects firing a fixed delivery fee.


This operates at a higher effective rate and does not include the same level of continuity, prioritisation or strategic input as a retainer engagement.


Ad hoc work can be a useful entry point for businesses looking to address specific tasks or initial requirements before moving into a more structured arrangement.


Where clients transition from ad hoc work into a retainer, we can apply favourable adjustments to account for prior investment, ensuring a smooth transition into a longer-term engagement while not penalising customers for due dilligence.


Retainer clients benefit from:

Early adoption of technological advancements (i.e. the pace of AI technologies)

Ongoing strategic input rather than isolated task delivery

A reduced effective hourly rate (percentage-based discount applied)

Priority access to our team

Faster turnaround and continuity across projects
