Our Pricing Philosophy

How we treat your investment, and why it works.
Every company carries its own pressures, rhythms, and financial realities.


Budgets affect people, operations, and long-term stability.
We take that responsibility seriously.


This page outlines how we think about money, why our approach works, and how we ensure every dollar you invest is used with intent and discipline.

Return on Total Investment (ROTI)

You deserve the full picture, not a selective one. Most agencies measure ROAS and ignore the costs that make the numbers inconvenient. We measure Return on Total Investment instead.
That includes:
  1. Media spend
  2. Video and production costs
  3. Website investment
  4. Creative development
  5. Strategy hours
  6. Tools and subscriptions
  7. Internal labor
  8. Operational impact
The entire financial ecosystem is part of the equation, not just the pieces that make a slide deck look good. It’s how you evaluate your business and how we evaluate ours.

Why We Don’t Ask “What’s Your Budget for Services?”

Service-level budgeting creates fragmentation, misalignment, and reactive planning.Instead, we ask:
‍
“What total investment level feels responsible and sustainable for your company?”
A unified budget gives us:
  1. Appropriate resources
  2. Consistent creative cycles
  3. Real testing volume
  4. Accurate expectations
  5. Disciplined timelines
When the investment is consolidated, the system becomes more efficient. Performance stabilizes. Creative becomes intentional. Production is more strategic. Fragmented budgets create friction. Unified budgets create momentum.

How We Build

Everything we deliver moves through one connected system.
‍
Team 1 — Performance & Strategy:
Identifies what is required based on real data and business reality.
‍
Team 2 — Creative, Production, & Web:
Requests a project allocation and scopes the work to match the objective.

Both teams operate side-by-side until the outcome is complete.
This eliminates:
  1. Rework
  2. Misalignment
  3. Creative that can’t convert
  4. Unclear ownership
  5. Production that doesn’t justify its cost
One direction. One system. One standard.

Why Economies of Scale Matter

A larger unified budget does not increase our margins. It increases your efficiency.
You gain:
  1. Stronger testing frameworks
  2. Faster iteration
  3. Healthier creative cycles
  4. Aligned strategy
  5. Better decision-making
  6. Reduced operational waste
  7. More dependable outcomes
This is why many partners invest 7–10% of revenue into a single integrated marketing engine.Bigger systems run smoother. Not more expensively, more effectively.

How We Earn Our Money

We do not scale through inflated line items, upsells, or manufactured complexity.
We grow through:
  1. Renewals
  2. Long-term partnerships
  3. Consistent performance
  4. Referrals
  5. Disciplined reporting
  6. Steady collaboration
This model builds stability for both sides.

Your investment is treated with the same precision we use to run our own business.

Financial Visibility Without Games

You always know:
  1. Where your dollars are allocated
  2. Why they’re allocated there
  3. How the investment helped
    your company advance
  4. What those dollars
    produced
Everything stays above the surface. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is inflated.
