How we work
A straightforward five-step process from first conversation to delivery.
Free initial consultation
We discuss your project, marketing goals and expected outcomes together before you make a decision.
Agreement & proposal
After the contract is signed and the deposit is paid, I provide an initial proposal. Not satisfied? You may pause or terminate the service.
Delivery
I use a shared document to record progress throughout the project. Once delivered, you get one round of feedback and minor revisions.
3-month free marketing consultation
Purchase a Digital Marketing package and receive three months of free email consultation, questions and guidance, though not new content creation.
Feedback & referral rewards
Refer someone who becomes a client, and you both receive one complimentary standalone service after full payment is made.
Let's talk about your project.
Share a little about your business and what you're hoping to achieve. I'll get back to you within one working day.
