Project Investment
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.
Guide to Budgets
$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. 3-4 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. 6-8 weeks delivered*
$4550 - $9100+This is for the businesses who need more than a project, they need a partner for a season. Growing and need real marketing support but don't have the budget (or workload) for a full time hire yet? Restructuring and need experienced help without the cost of a permanent staff member? Or starting out and need branding, website, print and everything set up right from day one? 5-10 hours a week for 3 months, at 30% off my standard hourly rate, so you get budget certainty and one person who knows your business or project. Includes priority turnaround. 3 month fixed term*
Logo and Brand Packages
Just a LogoYou know exactly what you want. You designed it yourself, or need your existing logo refreshed or updated. Includes all the industry standard logo files for web and print. (EPS, SVG, PDF, JPEG, PNG) One concept only. 2-3 changes on that concept. $500+gst
Logo PackageYou want a new logo and have some ideas, but find it hard to articulate what you want. We will create three concepts based on our Logo briefing process. Includes all the industry standard logo files for web and print, plus a style sheet with colour codes, font names and example application. Three concepts. 2-3 changes on one chosen concept. $750+gst.
Brand DevelopmentYou are an established business or organisation that needs their brand to work harder. Your branding may no longer reflect your business, or different people may be managing the brand without clear direction. You may be growing, tendering, or wanting to work with higher value clients and need to look credible, consistent, and professional across various collateral and platforms. From $2k+gst
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.
At one stage social media was my full time job, and I very quickly experienced the dark side of client comments and 24/7 nature of these social platforms. These days social media is something I avoid doing for clients as part of 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, please don't hesitate to ask for a quote. My minimum charge for projects is $500+gst.
