If you're ready to invest in your business, then you're in the right place.
As a business owner, I know the need to manage costs, have upfront pricing, and invest in what is important. Take a look at some example budgets below. If you'd like to understand more about the value in these price brackets ask me for some example projects I have completed in these ranges.
Project Investment Guide
$500- $1500+It's urgent. You know exactly what you want. Can I do it? Likely yes. Includes 1-2 proof rounds. Design only. Or Design and Print. 1-2 weeks delivered*
$1500-$2500You've got a few weeks before a launch, trade show, business event or season and need collateral. You mostly know what you need. A few items, a new perspective on your brand, and someone to deliver. Incl 2-3 proof rounds. Design and Print. 2-3 weeks delivered*
$2500-$4000+With a bit of notice and the work spread over a few weeks. This is where I can add value to your ideas. Concept, design, content creation, brand development, copywriting, illustration, infographics. Or multiple pieces of collateral. You've got some ideas, but don't know what happens next. Great! I know exactly how to make more impact. We'll find out what's important, lock in some deliverables. Then nut out the content together. Includes 3-4 proof rounds. Design / Print / Online. 4-6 weeks delivered*
$4,000-$10,000+As above, but with a bit more time and scope. This level often involves extra value services and where I pull in my industry contacts and third party suppliers. More strategy, more help with content, and more service. Great for larger businesses or organisations who don't have a dedicated marketing person, and need everything done for them because they are BUSY! Projects at this level may include a combination of strategy, stakeholder engagement, creative direction, commercial photography, design, print, signage, website build, professional SEO, and social media strategy. 6-8 weeks*

What does it include?
These rates covers the professional industry standard tools and subscriptions I use daily to work efficiently and to a high standard, including Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Stock, Dropbox, Microsoft Office, Vector Stock, Noun Project, Chat GPT Pro, and the other standard accounting and admin costs you will know as a business owner running a business in New Zealand.
Artwork is supplied in print or web ready format, and logo files include colour codes, font names, EPS, PDF, PNG, JPEG, and SVG. Most artwork is created in Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Indesign, with elements in Adobe Photoshop, which is industry standard and have the most flexibility for your brand if it grows. Although these are not typical working files we can share with you. I can also create and share artwork in Canva for quick editable jobs ie social media templates, though I recommend creating your core assets outside of this software first. This ensures full ownership and avoids file or licensing limitations.
Websites are predominantly created in my preferred New Zealand based platform Rocketspark. That way if I ever fall off the face of the earth, your website is still based here, with a support team all based in New Zealand to help you.
While I do have vast experience in social media management, it is not something I choose to focus on on in my core business. But I am happy to share my knowledge and include social media collateral as part of a larger scope of work.
*The suggested timeframes above don't include the time to schedule in work. I can’t start work immediately once I hear from you. However I understand deadlines all creep up on us, so I will always do my best to meet yours. If something is urgent, let me know.
What's your Hue?
I tend to focus on work that allows time to understand your business properly. Once we've worked together, I'm happy to take on smaller tasks when they come up. If you have a budget in mind I can also suggest what's realistic within it. If you are unsure what you need, book in a day at the studio or ask for a quote.
