Pricing questions
Why does social media management cost this much?+
A monthly retainer covers a full team — strategist, designer, copywriter, account manager — for less than a single junior in-house hire. Anything cheaper is almost always templates resold to dozens of businesses, with no strategy behind it.
What's included in the setup fee?+
There is no setup fee. Pricing is fully transparent — what you see is what you pay, monthly, no contracts.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. All packages are month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days' notice and we wrap up cleanly with handover assets.
Are there hidden costs?+
No. Ad spend is separate (you pay Meta / TikTok directly) and additional content beyond your package is quoted upfront. That's it.
Do you offer custom packages?+
Yes — for multi-brand, e-commerce, or enterprise needs we'll build a bespoke quote. WhatsApp us and we'll scope it together.
How is pricing different for Cape Town vs nationally?+
It isn't. Same transparent pricing whether you're in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, or anywhere else in SA.
