FAQ
Starting prices are listed for most services, and quick wins have fixed prices from $149. Ongoing work such as content, Klaviyo and ads is a monthly retainer; projects like websites and audits are quoted once. You'll get a clear written quote before anything starts.
We're based in Cairns and focus on Cairns and Townsville. We travel for shoots and meetings anywhere from Cooktown to Rockhampton, including Port Douglas, the Tablelands, the Cassowary Coast, Mackay and the Whitsundays, and work remotely with businesses Australia-wide.
Ongoing services start with a three-month initial term, then roll month to month. Content, ads, email and SEO need time to learn and improve, and three months gives you a fair read on results. One-off projects have no lock-in.
Either. Some clients start with a $249 Google Business Profile Refresh or a single shoot; others hand over content, Klaviyo, SEO and even their inbox and DMs so it all works together.
Yes. Refer a business and when they become a client, you get $100 off your next invoice and they get $100 off their first. See our referral program for details.
A small, senior studio. The people who plan your strategy also shoot, write and build it, so nothing gets lost between an account manager and a junior.
