Consulting · Retainer
One person. The whole picture.
A strategic business partner sits above the individual specialists you hire. Instead of coordinating a website designer, a copywriter, a marketer, an accountant and an ops person yourself, and hoping every decision they make stitches together, one person holds the shape of your business and directs every move.

What is a strategic business partner?
Someone who helps you make better business decisions before money is spent on the wrong solutions. Instead of engaging separate creatives, agencies and specialists, you have one person responsible for understanding the bigger picture, prioritising what matters most, coordinating the right people, and making sure every decision strengthens the business as a whole.
Every engagement is bespoke. What you book might not be what we build. Retainer scope, session focus and priority order are all set by what the diagnosis actually uncovers.
Anyone can build a website. The real question is whether it’s the next thing your business actually needs.

Find the Gap
What’s really holding your business back?
Find the Gap: a few minutes, online, no call required. It shows where your business is leaking money, time or momentum, and what to prioritise first. Every engagement starts here, because what you book might not be what we build.
From there, start the conversation however suits you: email, WhatsApp, or a Discovery Call. You’ll get a clear read on the real bottleneck and an honest opinion on whether we’re the right fit: an ongoing retainer, a one-off session, or a referral to someone better suited.

Ongoing work, paid weekly
Most founders start here
One person holding the whole picture
3 month minimum · then week to week
Instead of paying five different people to think about five different parts of your business in isolation, you have one person holding the whole thing. Every website decision, marketing move, hire and system change is measured against what the business actually needs next, and in what order.
This is not one-off strategy. It’s an ongoing retainer: weekly rhythm, real accountability, and the operational bandwidth to actually move things forward.

Implementation, not just advice
One thing at a time, from $500 per week. Fewer hours each week, so work arrives in weeks rather than days. Things still get built.
Hands on the tools, from $900 per week. More hours and bigger scope, so a campaign fits inside a couple of weeks instead of stretching across two months.
The difference between them is hours, not permission.
Every retainer is bespoke. Retainer structure and scope are defined after your diagnosis. Investment scales with the level of embedded involvement and the specialists coordinated on your behalf.
From $500+ GST · per week
Discovery CallA website, store, brand build or launch is a project and is quoted separately. It can run alongside your retainer, or we lift you to the higher tier for the build period and drop you back afterwards.

Buying back your time. More of it doing the work you love, more of it with your family, and none of it chasing invoices at 9pm, editing that reel you don’t want a bar of, or trying to dream up a creative campaign when all you want to do is throw your phone.
Not sure where to start?
You don’t have to know. Take Find the Gap and start there, then email, WhatsApp, or book a Discovery Call and we’ll work out the rest together.
