Strategy Retainer for Cincinnati Businesses.
Ongoing strategic direction for leadership teams that need a marketing strategist in their corner.
79% of marketing teams plan to increase budgets in 2026 — but more spending without a strategy just means more waste. Most successful home service businesses invest 8–12% of revenue in marketing, and established restaurants spend 3–6%. The question isn't whether to spend — it's whether your spending has a plan behind it.
What You Get
How this works.
Monthly strategic oversight for businesses that have marketing execution but need direction. We review performance across every channel, plan campaigns quarterly, coordinate your vendors, and make sure your budget goes where it drives results — not just activity.
2 strategy sessions per month
Twice-monthly working sessions to review performance, adjust priorities, and plan ahead. You have a consistent touchpoint for marketing decisions.
Monthly channel performance report
A written report covering all active channels — what's working, what's not, and what to adjust. Strategic context, not just dashboards.
Quarterly campaign calendar
A planned calendar of campaigns and initiatives each quarter, with monthly adjustments based on performance data.
Vendor and partner coordination
We coordinate efforts across up to 4 vendors or agencies, ensuring everyone stays aligned with your strategy and priorities.
Quarterly business review
A deeper session each quarter to assess progress against goals, update the roadmap, and set priorities for the next 90 days.
On-call strategic support (48-hour response)
Quick answers between sessions when decisions come up. You're not waiting until next month's meeting to get input.
Without strategic direction, costs climb fast. The average cost per lead in home services hit $90.92 — up 10.5% year over year — and CPCs that used to run $5 are now $25 in competitive markets. A retainer keeps your spend focused on what works, so rising costs don't erode your margins.
