Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What social media platforms do you manage?

We manage Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, X (Twitter), Threads, Bluesky, and emerging platforms. That said, we recommend focusing investment where your audience is most active and where content can drive measurable outcomes.

What research and insights work do you offer?

We conduct custom qualitative and quantitative research to inform strategy and decision-making. This includes media and brand-lift measurement, tracking studies, pricing and innovation research, and political or issue-based research.

How does email marketing fit into the overall strategy?

How does email marketing fit into the overall strategy?

Can your team handle web development?

Yes. We design and build custom websites on Shopify, Framer, WordPress, and other platforms. Our goal is a fully integrated stack—from messaging and conversion through analytics and optimization.

How are contracts structured?

We offer both project-based and retainer engagements. The majority of our research and insights work is scoped on a project basis. All scopes are custom-built around your goals, timelines, and internal capabilities.

What does onboarding look like?

Onboarding is designed to build deep understanding before execution. We align on goals and success criteria, set up analytics and marketing infrastructure, define engagement cadence, and review key inputs from your team—brand voice, audience knowledge, competitive landscape, category constraints, and differentiators. Depending on complexity, onboarding can take two weeks to two months. We prioritize accuracy and strategic fit over rushing into tactics.

How quickly can we expect to see results?

Timelines depend on your goals, channels, and level of investment. SEO and organic growth take longer to compound, while paid media campaigns typically generate initial learning within the first two weeks of launch. We focus early efforts on actionable insights that inform optimization and scale.
