Still have questions?
Ask a questionHow long does a project take?
It depends on the scope. We agree the timeline in the proposal before we start, and you get a status update every Friday until launch.
Should we start with a project or a partnership?
Start with a project when you need something made: a brand, a website or a launch. Choose a partnership when you want steady support every month. There are three: Creative for creativity, Growth for growth and Strategic for strategy.
Who owns the work?
You do. Once the final invoice is paid, the work is yours.
