Budget at a glance

Published monthly fee examples

Separate the work before the budget

Costs by service.

A package fee is not the price of every service inside it. We only show a separate fee when the source publishes one. Do not add bundled rows together or treat management fees as including ad spend. Missing prices mean this research has not established a rate, not that the work is free.

A few useful answers

Common questions.

Can the production fee stand in for a total marketing budget?

No. Snackables makes creative, while media buying stays with the brand or another partner. Commerce, email and retail work may also need separate scope.

Can the finished assets automatically be used in paid ads?

Not under an assumed unlimited license. Organic usage is included in the cited offer; paid usage terms are agreed per package.

Evidence, not promises.

Published packages can change. Confirm a written proposal with the provider before budgeting. Prices do not establish quality, ranking, or likely results. Ask for comparable client references and a measurement plan before hiring.
