HOW TO CHOOSE
WHEN TO USE À LA CARTE VS. RETAINER
Á LA CARTE MAKES SENSE WHEN:
- You need a specific project without committing to a full retainer
- You want to test fit before committing to 90 days
- You have a one-time initiative that needs focused attention
- You're between agencies or contractors and need something done fast
- You have a limited budget and a specific problem to solve
RETAINER MAKES SENSE WHEN:
- You need ongoing strategy and asset creation (CMO + Execution)
- You want meetings on the calendar (Unified Growth Engine)
- You need strategic direction from a fractional CMO
- You're thinking in terms of quarters, not weeks
- You want compounding results over 90 days and beyond
*Many clients start with À La Carte to test a specific area (like a new pitch deck or website copy), then upgrade to a retainer once they see the value. That's a perfectly valid path.
