Let's talk about investment
Here's the thing about pricing: I could give you a menu of services with neat little price tags, but that's not how good marketing works. Every business is different, every challenge is unique, and every solution needs to be tailored.
But I also know you need to understand what you're looking at investment-wise. So let me break down how I think about pricing and what you can expect.
How I structure my work (and why)
I've organized my services around The Pearl Method™ transformation stages because where you're starting determines what kind of work we need to do together.
Think about it: if you're building from scratch, that's different work than if you're optimizing an existing system. If you need a complete strategy overhaul, that's different from fine-tuning what's already working.
Here's how I see it:
The Seed Grain Stage
When you're starting from scratch or starting over

No Strategy, No Results
You have little to no marketing strategy in place and it shows.
Ready to Start Right
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique.
Solid Foundations First
You want to build your marketing the right way — from the ground up.
The Rough Cut Stage
When you need significant restructuring
Disconnected Tactics
Your marketing pieces aren’t working together, and it shows.
Messaging Overhaul Needed
Your messaging feels scattered or unclear — time for a reboot.
Strategic Rebuild
You’re ready to do this right and build a true marketing foundation.
The Refinement Stage
When you need optimization and alignment
Solid Base, Needs Tuning
Your marketing foundation is good — it just needs fine-tuning.
Performance Boost
Your content is solid but underperforming — let’s fix that.
Scale Smarter
You’re ready to optimize and scale what’s already working.
The Polish Stage
When you want to maintain your competitive edge
Stay Ahead
Your marketing is working — let’s keep you ahead of the curve.
On-Demand Expertise
Flexible support for special projects and campaigns when needed.
Trusted Partner
You value having a strategic partner in your back pocket.
Project-Based Work
Sometimes you don't need ongoing partnership—you need help with a specific challenge or opportunity.
What's always included in my project work: Every project starts with strategic assessment because I won't let you skip to tactics without understanding the foundation. Even a "simple" rebrand includes brand strategy work, and every content project includes messaging framework development.
Phase ONE
Assessment and strategic foundation ($3,500-8,500 depending on scope)
Phase TWO
Implementation based on the strategic work completed in Phase 1 (varies by client based on needs and overalls scope)
What you need to know about working with me
I require minimum commitments for ongoing work
Real marketing transformation doesn't happen in 30 days. I need at least 3 months to implement strategy and start seeing results, 6 months to build momentum and optimize based on data.
I don't compete on price
If you're looking for the cheapest option, I'm not it. I'm looking for clients who understand that good marketing is an investment that pays dividends over time.
I do compete on value
What I deliver isn't just strategy documents or content—it's marketing systems that work consistently to grow your business.
I include revisions, not endless changes
Projects include up to 2 rounds of revisions. If you want to completely change direction, that's a new project.

FAQs
Maybe. I'm willing to adjust scope to fit budgets for the right clients, but I won't compromise on quality or cut corners on strategy. Let's talk about what's possible.
I guarantee my work. If you're not satisfied, I'll revise it until you are, or we'll find a solution that works for both of us.
You don't, and anyone who guarantees specific results is lying. What I can guarantee is strategic thinking, quality execution, and my commitment to your success.
