Retainer vs. project?

Retainers provide ongoing creative partnership with faster turnaround, priority scheduling, and better value. Ideal for brands with consistent content needs—product launches, seasonal campaigns, sustained social presence. Projects work best for one-time campaigns with defined scope and timeline. Not sure which fits? Book a strategy session and we’ll recommend the right approach for your goals.

What is your typical timeline?

Projects typically run 2-4 weeks from kickoff to delivery, depending on scope and complexity. Retainer clients receive prioritized turnaround—often within days for urgent needs. We begin every engagement with a discovery phase to align on timeline expectations, then provide transparent milestones throughout production. AI-enhanced workflows allow us to deliver 3-5x more content variations than traditional studios in the same timeframe.
