How Much Will It Cost?
In my experience, this works best:
Month 1
$2500
During this first month, we'll dedicate 15 hours* in weeks 1 and 2, then 10 hours in weeks 3 and 4.
Totaling 50 hours.
Months 2-3
$2000
In month 2 we'll drop down to 10 hours a week, and use that as a benchmark for hours in month 3.**
Totaling 40 hours.
Month 4 >
Based on the number of hours we've consistently used in the first few months, alongside your needs and budget, we'll decide on an ongoing retainer hourly package moving forward.
* Because this is the first 2 weeks of our engagement, there will likely be a lot of research and fact finding during these weeks. This is why we always allow extra hours in the first month.
** Hours worked over the agreed retainer will be charged in the next invoice.
Invoices are sent in advance to secure your hours. You will be invoiced on the same day every month if we start on the 15th, your invoices will arrive on the 15th going forward.
When we get to the end of our first 3 months, we can take a look at how many hours you're consistently using, alongside your needs and budget, as well as my availability, and decide on an hours plan for the next quarter.
How It Works
Book a discovery call
Book in with me using the form below, and I'll send you an in-depth questionnaire so that I can get to know you and your business before we meet. This is a great place to offload and tell me #AllTheThings.
Come To The call
We'll start with a one-hour Zoom chat where we'll review your business needs and set clear priorities. This is our chance to map out the road ahead. You'll also get a recording of our session to revisit any time.
Good to go?
Contract & invoice Time!
Review the contract, and when you're happy, sign it and ping it back to me. Upon signing, you’ll get your first invoice for $2500. Once payment is received, I'll get started #NotExcited.
Comms and Apps
Slack is where it’s at! If you need help setting it up, I’m your girl. You will then share passwords via LastPass (or BitWarden, Proton Pass, or 1Password). You’ll then add me to any project management software and Google Drive folders.
Let The Fun Begin
We'll dive into the strategic plan, adding tasks and deadlines to the task manager (or create one, if necessary), and generally get stuck in!
Happy Clients Say The Nicest Things
A few years ago, I worked with Esme through an agency and she was amazing. When I found out, she started her own business I instantly reached out. Working with Esme gives me so much peace of mind and confidence. She seriously knows what she’s doing and she has the track record to prove it. I feel so lucky that my business is in her hands.

Want Some Use Cases?
Think of social media as the heartbeat that supports your email marketing, blog posts, and Pinterest strategies. When it all clicks together, each piece boosts the other, making your marketing efforts way more impactful. Your offers, upsells, sales pages, and launches need to sing in harmony across all these platforms for real success.
When different people handle each piece, it can get a bit scattered, sometimes missing the big picture. While this separation works now and then, it often results in missed chances for synergy.
With me as your OBM, you'll get top-notch oversight across everything marketing and revenue-related. I help every campaign, post, and offer align with your business strategy. The outcome? Complete coverage and a united front make everything work harder for your bottom line.
This partnership gives you a strategic buddy who's all about teaming up with you. Together, we'll make every marketing move count, boosting your vision and shaping a powerful brand presence everywhere.
