Pricing

What it costs

You shouldn’t have to schedule a call to find out whether you can afford someone. Here are the prices.

Monthly retainers

Three ways to keep your story moving.

Newsroom

$850 /month

Steady coverage for a business with news worth telling.

  • Two articles for your site, 800 to 1,000 words
  • One press release each quarter, written and pitched to local editors
  • One hour of strategy each month

Newsroom + Social

$1,500 /month

Your story on your site, in the paper and in the feed.

  • Everything in Newsroom
  • Social media on two platforms, twelve posts a month
  • Comment replies handled
  • A plain-English report each month on what worked

Full Desk

$2,400 /month

A communications department without the payroll.

  • Four articles for your site
  • One press release each month, written and pitched
  • Social media on three platforms, 16 to 20 posts
  • A half-day photo shoot each quarter

Three-month minimum on all three. Marketing that stops after a few weeks is money burned, and I’d rather tell you that now.
