Creative Partner
Ongoing design support without hiring in-house.
A retainer means we hold your context so you stop paying to rebuild it. Agreed hours each month, a standing session, and priority turnaround on production. Fixed at $2,400 per month excluding GST, delivered in 6-month minimum.
What you get
Everything you get for $2,400 per month.
You need senior creative help on tap, without recruiting for it or re-explaining your business every time. One price, agreed before we start, so you know exactly where you stand. Here is everything that comes with it.
- Agreed monthly hours, senior-led
- Standing fortnightly working session
- Priority turnaround on production work
- Quarterly review against your objectives
- Your brand library kept current
What is not included
And here is what is not covered.
We would rather be upfront about this now than have it come as a surprise later. If you do need any of it, that is completely fine. Just ask and we will give you a price.
- Media spend and third-party production costs
- Unused hours rolling over beyond one month
- Work materially outside the agreed disciplines, scoped separately
How it runs
Here is how the 6-month minimum breaks down.
You will always know what is happening and what comes next. If something on your side is running late, just let us know early and we will work around it. That happens on most projects and it is never a problem.
- Month 1: Onboarding, context capture, priorities agreed
- Ongoing: Fortnightly sessions and continuous delivery
- Quarterly: Review against objectives, priorities reset
What we need from you
Just three things and we can get going.
If you have these ready we can stick to the dates above without having to chase you. If you are not sure about any of them, we can help you work it out.
- A standing meeting slot
- Visibility of what is coming, so capacity can be planned
- One accountable owner on your side
Questions
Frequently asked.
What does Creative Partner cost?
$2,400 per month plus GST, and the price does not move. Half to get started and half when it is finished, with 14 days to pay each invoice.
What if we need changes after the included rounds?
We will always give you a price before doing any extra work, so nothing lands on your bill unexpectedly. Most projects never need it, because we build in review points to catch things early.
Who owns the files?
You do, completely, once the final payment is made. And you get the original working files, not just flat exports, so you are never locked in to us.
What if the scope changes partway through?
We will tell you as soon as we spot it, give you a price, and let you decide. Nothing extra ever goes ahead without you saying yes in writing first.
Who actually does the work?
One senior team runs strategy and craft together, without an account layer between the client and the makers.
Can you work with us remotely?
Absolutely, and most of our work is done this way. We work with clients right across Australia and overseas, including projects for American Express, Westfield and Knotel run from here.
