Ongoing Service
Monthly Growth Retainer
from $800/month
No lock-in. Cancel with 30 days' notice.
Social media management done for you — month after month. We create your content, write your captions, manage your community, and report on what's working. You focus on running your business.
Consistent presence is the real game.
The businesses that win on social media aren't necessarily posting better content — they're posting consistently. Google rewards activity. Instagram rewards consistency. Customers trust the business that was posting last week over the one whose last post was three months ago.
The problem is that consistency is hard when you're running a business. A hot week at work means social media disappears. A retainer fixes that — your presence stays active, your profiles stay current, and your leads keep coming in whether you thought about Instagram this week or not.
Most agencies charge $2,000–$5,000/month for this. We've built a leaner model — fixed deliverables, clear pricing, no retainer bloat. You know exactly what you're getting every month and exactly what it costs.
Most clients start on our Essentials tier after completing a Launch Pad or Growth Engine package, then upgrade to Growth or Full Management once they see enquiries coming through consistently.

How it works
A repeatable monthly cycle — from strategy to scheduling to reporting.
Onboarding
We learn your brand voice, audience, and goals. We set up your content calendar template and approval workflow.

Approval
You review the calendar, request edits if needed, and approve. We handle scheduling and posting on your behalf.
Report
End of month: a plain-English analytics report covering reach, engagement, follower growth, and what's working.
Optional add-ons
Stack these onto any tier as needed.
Common questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Do I need to complete a package first?
Not required, but recommended. Our packages (Launch Pad and above) give you a professional content foundation — optimised profiles, branded assets, and a shoot library — that makes the retainer far more effective. If you're starting from scratch, we'll scope a package first so your retainer hits the ground running.
Is there a minimum contract term?
No. Retainers run month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel. Most clients stay because it's working — not because they're locked in.
What platforms does the retainer cover?
Instagram and Facebook are included in all tiers. LinkedIn, TikTok, or Pinterest can be added to any tier for an additional $200/month per platform.
How does content approval work?
We deliver the full month's content calendar and captions 7 days before posting starts. You review, request any changes, and approve. We schedule and post on your behalf — no last-minute scrambles.
What if I need a content shoot during the retainer?
Full Management includes a quarterly shoot. Essentials and Growth clients can add a shoot at any time — we'll quote based on scope, typically $300–$600 for a 1-hour session.
Do you manage ad spend, or just the creative?
Full Management includes creative and management of your Meta Ads. The ad budget itself is a separate spend — we recommend starting with $300–$500/month minimum to get meaningful data. Essentials and Growth tiers don't include ads management, but you can add it for $300/month.
Starting from scratch?
If you don't have a professional content library, optimised profiles, or a content strategy yet, start with a package first. Our Launch Pad ($997) gives you everything the retainer needs to hit the ground running — profiles, 30 days of content, and branded templates — in 7 days.
