Retainer Packages
Each tier builds on the one before it, so you never trade anything away by moving up. Click a plan to see everything it includes. Photography, video production, and web design projects are quoted separately.
- 8–10 feed posts per month, each with custom graphics or edited photography
- Monthly content calendar planned and sent to you for approval before anything goes live
- Caption, hashtag, and copywriting for every post
- Scheduling and publishing on up to two platforms (typically Instagram and Facebook)
- Profile cleanup — bio, highlights, and link-in-bio set up properly
- Monthly check-in call with a plain-English recap of what performed
The right starting point if your accounts have gone quiet and you need a dependable baseline before adding video.
Everything in Starter, plus:
- 12–15 feed posts per month instead of 8–10
- One on-location shoot day each month — photo and video captured in a single visit, so you're not chasing content all month

- Daily story content built from branded templates made for your business
- Community management — replying to comments and DMs, resharing tagged posts
- Event and promo coverage as things come up during the month
- Monthly strategy call plus a written performance report
The most common fit. This is the level where volume and video combine into real momentum, which is why most clients land here.
Everything in Growth, plus:
- 14–17 feed posts per month instead of 12–15 — your static content keeps growing alongside the video
- Two to three short-form videos per week instead of one
- Two on-location shoot days each month instead of one, so there is always footage banked ahead
- Vertical edits cut and captioned for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
- Hook, caption, and thumbnail development for every video
- Trend and audio monitoring so posts go out while the format is still working
- Your raw footage library delivered to you to keep and reuse however you want
Built for food and drink, fitness, events, and anything that looks good on camera. You are not giving up any social management to get here — this tier is Growth with the video engine turned all the way up.
