Retainer

Work with us on retainer

Built for startups that need consistent output without the overhead of hiring in-house. Everything included, nothing hidden.

Problem

Why one-offs waste time and money

Every project starts from zero. We relearn your product. You re-explain your audience. Time gets burned on context that should already exist.

  • Relearning your product every time

  • Scrambling when you need something fast

  • No room to plan or invest deeper

Solution

Dedicated capacity without the overhead

You get a video team on staff. No salary, no benefits, no management headaches. Just priority access to our talent, month after month.

Partnership

Speed and collaboration, every step of the way

We move fast because we listen first. Quick feedback loops mean you're never waiting weeks for revisions. Real partnership means we're thinking about your next move before you ask.

Dedicated capacity

Become a priority, not a project. Think of it like having a video team on staff, without the overhead.

World-class quality

Final videos in all formats. Source files included. Subtitles and social cuts available when you need them.

Weekly syncs

We check in regularly. You send requests as they come up. We deliver on the timeline you need.

Better pricing

Volume pricing beats project-by-project rates. Starts at four to six thousand per month depending on scope.

Questions

Everything you need to know about working with us and our process.

How fast can you deliver?

Most projects ship in one to two weeks. We've delivered rush projects in days when it matters. Speed is built into how we work, not something we compromise on.

What if I need revisions?

Revisions are part of the process. We build feedback loops into every project so you get what you actually need, not what we think you need. It's collaborative from start to finish.

Do you work with early stage startups?

Yes. We work with companies from pre-seed through Series B and beyond. Budget matters less than having a real need for video. We've helped bootstrapped founders and funded teams alike.

Can you handle rush projects?

We can. Tell us the deadline and we'll let you know if it's possible. Some of our best work happens under pressure when the stakes are clear.

What about retainer pricing?

Retainers work differently than one-off projects. You get priority access, faster turnaround, and better pricing per video. Most clients find it makes sense once they hit three to five videos per month.
