Costs & Timeline


Whether agency, individual, or organization, I aim to operate like an embedded strategist on your team and maintain tight focus on a handful of high quality projects per year.

Projects typically span anywhere from 4-8 weeks and range from $10,000-$25,000. For hourly rates I often bill between 20-40 hours per week at $100/hr (Full-time: D $800 / W $4,000 / M $16,000).
