Maine Marketing Agency Rates
How We Work With Clients
Talking about money shouldn’t be awkward. We’d rather be upfront about how we price our work, so you know what to expect before the first conversation gets serious.
There are two ways clients typically work with us, and we treat them as equally legitimate paths. One isn’t a step up from the other. Which one fits depends on what you need, how your year is shaped, and where your budget is most useful.
Fixed-Price Projects
Most of our engagements are scoped, fixed-price projects with a clear beginning, middle, and end. A website. A brand refresh. A messaging platform. A marketing plan. We structure projects this way because a fixed price gives organizations:
✓ A defined investment
✓ A clear outcome
✓ Easier budgeting
✓ Stronger internal buy-in
✓ More confidence before work begins
In a tighter economy, predictability matters. A fixed-price project gives leadership teams the clarity they need to move forward without committing to an open-ended relationship.
Fixed-price clients receive the same strategic thinking, senior attention, and Maine-grounded perspective as our long-term partners. We don’t hold back strategy for retainer clients.
Agency Partner Program
Our Agency Partner Program is for companies that want a trusted, strategic marketing partner rather than project support.
As an agency partner, you get:
✓ A trusted strategic marketing partner
✓ Regular creative support guided by clear goals
✓ Senior counsel leading the relationship
✓ Steady accountability throughout the year
✓ A full team behind the work, not just one point of contact
✓ Marketing support that functions as an extension of your team
Agency Partner engagements are typically twelve-month commitments, structured around your business goals and the rhythm of your marketing year.
Fixed-Price Projects
Project investment varies based on complexity, timeline, and scope. These ranges reflect typical averages of our engagements. We’ll always price each project based on your specific scope and our experience with similar work. If your project doesn’t fit neatly into one of these categories, we’ll build a custom proposal.
Websites
$10,000 – $45,000
WordPress-based, with strategy and content support built in. A straightforward marketing site for an established brand often lands in the lower half of that range.
Many of the sites we build come in around the mid-$20s. Highly complex, deeply customized builds — sites with significant functionality, integrations, or content architecture — land in the mid-$40s.
Brand & Marketing Consulting
Starting at $5,000
A focused engagement typically runs $5,000 – $15,000 and produces a comprehensive marketing plan tailored to your goals (collateral not included). More in-depth strategic engagements — broader organizational scope, multiple audiences, deeper research integration — scale up from there.
Many of the sites we build come in around the mid-$20s. Highly complex, deeply customized builds — sites with significant functionality, integrations, or content architecture — land in the mid-$40s.
Messaging
$5,000 – $25,000.
Includes recruitment, brand, and product or service positioning work.
