FROM CLARITY TO ACTION

Marketing and creative without a clear purpose aren’t investments—they’re guesswork, and guesswork rarely delivers meaningful results.

Get clear, unbiased guidance on where your business stands, where you want it to go, and what it will actually take to get there. Together, we’ll identify the creative assets, marketing strategies, and media investments that make sense—and just as importantly, the ones that don’t.

RATES

Straightforward Pricing. No Surprises.

At Crow & Compass Creative, we believe pricing should be as straightforward as the advice we give. That’s why we charge one professional rate across all of our services. If we start by reviewing your marketing strategy and discover that your website messaging needs attention, your social media needs a new direction, or the advertising proposal sitting on your desk deserves a closer look, we can pivot without changing the conversation—or the rate. Strategy, consulting, graphic design, campaign development, photography, copywriting, media analysis and the rest of our professional services all operate under the same simple structure. You’re hiring Crow & Compass for our time, experience and expertise, not navigating a menu where every new idea comes with another price tag.

Just as importantly, we don’t make money from the media or vendors we recommend. Any outside expenses—advertising purchases, printing, merchandise, media placement or other third-party costs—are paid by you directly to the provider whenever practical. That keeps our interests exactly where they belong: aligned with yours. There are no commissions or kickbacks influencing whether we recommend one solution over another. Our job is to tell you what we believe makes sense for your business, including when we think something isn’t worth buying. You control the budget, you approve the work, and you always have the final say. It’s your business. That’s exactly how it should be.

Our standard professional rate is $110 per hour, regardless of which Crow & Compass service we’re providing. For individual projects, we’ll provide a good-faith estimate of the time we expect the work to require before getting started. If circumstances change or a project begins moving beyond that estimate, we’ll talk about it rather than simply letting the meter run. You should have enough information to decide whether the juice is worth the squeeze before making the investment.

Need More? Pay Less.

For businesses that need ongoing support, Crow & Compass offers discounted retainer rates. Commit to a minimum three-month relationship, select the amount of time you’d like available each month, and pay monthly in advance. The more time you reserve, the lower your hourly rate:

10 hours per month — $105/hour
15 hours per month — $100/hour
20 hours per month — $95/hour
30+ hours per month — $90/hour

A retainer gives you ongoing access to Crow & Compass at a reduced rate while allowing us to become more familiar with your business, your customers and your goals over time. And because the same rate applies across our services, those hours can go where they’re most useful. One month that might mean campaign strategy and graphic design; the next it might mean photography, customer communications and reviewing a media proposal. The direction can change without having to renegotiate the relationship every time it does.

No mysterious packages. No percentage of your media spend. No incentive to recommend something simply because somebody else is paying us to recommend it.

Just experienced, independent professional help at a rate you know before we get to work.
