MONTHLY BUSINESS SUPPORT
A monthly partner.
A plan that fits your business.
For cafés, restaurants, shops, hospitality venues and small to medium-sized local businesses.
Give people a reason to visit
Develop venue promotions, local collaborations and events when they fit your goals.
Make marketing manageable
Prioritize what matters, organize your content and explore practical AI workflows.
Start with your situation, not a fixed bundle.
We begin with your objectives, budget, team capacity and current activity. Together, we agree on the priorities, deliverables and division of responsibilities for a realistic monthly plan.
Support may combine strategy, website updates, photography, social content, promotions and workflow improvements. Scope, fees, meeting frequency and contract terms are agreed individually before work begins. Events, advertising and external production are scoped separately when needed.
A repeatable monthly rhythm
