How it works

How a campaign comes together

  1. 1

    Tell me your objective

    What you're promoting, when it matters, which neighborhoods, and roughly what you want to invest.

  2. 2

    Get a recommendation

    A campaign plan matched to your objective, timing, audience, and budget. Not a one-size package.

  3. 3

    It gets created and published

    You work directly with the publisher on the creative. Then it runs across the channels.

Managed campaigns

Plan a campaign

Tell me what you're working toward. You'll get a recommendation back, usually within one business day.

FAQs

What happens after I send an inquiry?

I read every inquiry myself. You get a reply with a recommendation: what I'd run, when it goes live, and what it costs. Usually within one business day. No obligation until you approve the plan.

What budgets do you work with?

Most levels. Single placements start at $250 and book instantly above. Events start at $50. Bigger campaigns get scoped to your budget, from under $1,000 to $4,000 and up.

What do you need from me?

Your details and materials. A branded image and a link for the newsletter. For video, just tell me what makes the business worth talking about. I handle the creative and the publishing.

Is there a performance guarantee?

Yes. If a newsletter feature doesn't hit at least 4,000 opens, I re-run it on the next send for free.
