Creative & design
Original ad creative — print, digital, billboard, banner — designed to match your brand and run anywhere we place it.
We design your ads, place them in local magazines and targeted digital channels, and track the ROI — all in one monthly retainer. No vanity metrics, no confusing dashboards.
No upsells, no surprise fees. What you see here is what you get.
Original ad creative — print, digital, billboard, banner — designed to match your brand and run anywhere we place it.
Relationships with the regional magazines that small businesses actually read — from Down East to Old Port to county papers. We negotiate the placement and the rate.
Google Local Services, Meta ads, and targeted display on local sites. Geo‑fenced to your actual service area, not a broad region.
Every campaign gets a tracked URL or dedicated landing page so we can see exactly which ad brought which customer.
A plain‑English email at the end of every month: where we spent, what came back, what we're doing next. No vanity metrics.
Every three months, we step back and ask: is this still working? What should we kill, what should we double down on? Real conversation, not a deck.
A working session to figure out where your audience actually is — which magazines, which platforms, which neighborhoods. We map the plan.
Ads designed and approved. Print, digital, sized for each placement, ready to deploy.
We buy the placements, manage the digital spend, and rotate creative so the same audience sees fresh ads — not the same one twenty times.
A plain‑English email with what spent, what came back, and what we're changing next month. Cancel anytime — we earn the next month each month.
The $500 retainer covers strategy, creative, placement management, and reporting. Your ad spend is separate and goes directly to publishers and platforms — we never mark up media. Most clients spend $1,000–$3,000/month in media on top of the retainer.
Get found on Google. Keyword‑targeted pages, Google Business Profile setup, meta tags and schema, and monthly ranking reports when you host with us.
Get your social channels looking as sharp as your new website — professionally designed assets, content launch strategy, and post templates that fit your market.
Stock photos don't cut it anymore. Authentic photography of your team, space, and products builds real trust with real customers.

Depends on your business and your market. We have working relationships with Down East, Old Port, Maine Magazine, county papers, and a handful of niche outlets. For California, we work with regional lifestyle and tourism magazines. We'll recommend the right mix in the strategy session.
Depends heavily on industry. Restaurants and hospitality often see 2–4x return on ad spend in the first six months. Service businesses (vets, salons, contractors) can see higher returns over longer cycles. We'll be honest about realistic expectations in the strategy session.
No. Retainer is month‑to‑month. Most magazine placements are quarterly so there's a natural commitment cycle there, but we never lock you in.
No. You pay publishers and platforms directly. We never see your media budget as revenue — that's how you avoid the "agency that just wants to spend more" problem.
Yes. The package is bundled because most small businesses get the best return from a mix, but if your audience is exclusively in one channel, we'll build a campaign just for that.
A short call, a written proposal, and your project on the calendar.
