Frequently Asked Questions

We work a little differently, so here’s how we explain ourselves when friends and family ask “so, what do you do?”.

How do I know that you will do the work and not use a freelancer?

We have a rule here. If someone who can do a task better than we can, we hire them. We have many trusted people in our network, but the three of us are committed do the vast majority of the work ourselves. What you see is what you get. Don’t ask us to code. We don’t do that. But we have people.

What is your hourly rate?

Can we be audacious and speak truth? Hourly rates do not matter. We do not waste time, and are a solid value. Our rates vary from $200 - $250 per hour depending what we do. If you go with an organization that has a lower rate, know that we can do it faster and do not bloat hours. The investment on your end is the same.

Can you be cheaper?

No. We are worth every penny.

Aren’t you all strategists? And you do all the work?

Strategy is a specific discipline that requires experience to truly enable. We’ve all had different paths that brought us together as strategists, through different original disciplines. Those origins make us creative, activation and analytics ninjas.

Where are you located?

We hail from Milwaukee, Boston and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Our trusted partners are across the country and in the UK.

Why do you say you’re fun?

Because we are. We can’t help it. We get our zoomies out on our podcast Severely Unspecial, available wherever you get your podcasts.

How small is too small and how big is too big?

We have had retainers from $1,500 per month (PR only) to $50,000 per month (integrated services). We also have counsel rates that are less than $1,500 per month and single projects over $300,000. Let’s chat.
