FAQs


What types of businesses do you work with?

We specialize in partnering with small, independent businesses. While we have extensive expertise in the children’s activities and service industries, our experience spans a wide range of local businesses looking to grow and thrive.

Is there a difference between a Strategic Intensive and a full engagement?

A Strategic Intensive is a focused, short-term session designed to solve a specific challenge with actionable insights. A full engagement offers a longer-term approach with ongoing support and tailored strategies. The intensive delivers quick wins, while the full engagement fosters sustained growth.

Why do you require payment upfront?

We believe in fostering a professional and productive partnership from the outset, allowing us to focus on the work at hand without the distraction of chasing payments. We encourage our clients to adopt a similar approach in their own businesses. For added flexibility, we offer payment plans that align with the project timeline, ensuring we’re both covered as deliverables are completed.

What is your pricing structure?

Pricing is based on the scope and complexity of the project. We provide transparent, up-front pricing for each package, and there’s no hidden cost. You can expect a fair estimate for the time, expertise, and value we deliver.

How long does it take to see results?

Results depend on the nature of your business, the scope of our engagement, and the individualized plan we develop. As a general guideline, a minimum timeline to see measurable results with digital advertising is approximately 90 days following implementation, with more substantial outcomes unfolding over time. Individual results will vary based on your unique circumstances and business dynamics.

What is your process for starting a new project?

We begin with a connection call to understand your needs and establish a fit. Next, we’ll choose an initial level of engagement and outline a clear plan with defined goals and expectations. Once we have a signed contract and payment, we’ll kick off the project with a thorough onboarding process.
