Pricing

How we price our work

Every price starts from our hour estimate. Bids change until the day they are submitted, so they get a price range. Once the contract is won, each deliverable gets a fixed price.

Tendering phase

Single bid

For a proposal with a deadline. We design it with your team, section by section, right up to the moment you submit.

Send us the ToR
  • A price range before we start, based on our estimate of the hours your bid needs
  • You see the hours we used, so you know exactly where in the price range you land
  • Built in PowerPoint, so your own team can still edit it right up to the last minute
How it works

We estimate the hours for each part of the bid and turn them into a price range. As we work, we share the hours used. Night and weekend hours carry no surcharge for up to 10% of the hours from 40 h, 15% from 80 h and 20% from 120 h. If the scope changes, we send a change request before continuing.

Tendering phase

Annual bid agreement

For organisations that bid often and can’t predict when. One signed agreement covers all your priority bids for the year.

Talk to us
  • Priority in our schedule whenever your bid deadlines arrive during the year
  • A team that already knows your methodology and your brand
  • One agreement signed for the year; each new bid is simply an order within it
How it works

We sign a one-year framework agreement. You send us your priority bids and share your bid calendar every quarter, so we can keep room for them. Each bid is estimated and invoiced as a single bid, and the rate falls as your hours add up over the year. Nothing is paid in advance.

Implementation phase

Per deliverable

For a project already won. Each report, publication, video or event has its own price, set to fit your budget lines.

Ask for a quote
  • A fixed price for each deliverable, agreed with you before we start any of the work
  • One quote for the project's whole visibility plan, broken down clearly piece by piece
  • Invoiced on completion of each deliverable, or by phases in multi-year projects
How it works

We price each deliverable from our catalogue, so you know the cost of every piece from day one and it fits your budget lines. Some are priced by unit, such as video in 30-second blocks. If a deliverable changes, we send a change request before continuing.

How an estimate works

  1. 01Before

    Hour range upfront.

    We assess the real material, scope and deadline, and give you an hour range for each deliverable before any work starts.

  2. 02While we work

    Hours logged as we go.

    We log every hour against the project while we work and share them with you as we go. Nothing is added afterwards.

  3. 03When we finish

    Closing summary.

    The project closes with the hours used against the estimate. If the scope changes, we ask for your approval before continuing.

What moves the price

Two things set the final number. They matter most in tenders,
but they also apply in a project's inception phase.

How complete your content is

Content that arrives complete, in one go, takes fewer hours. When it arrives in phases, each new batch means more layout, more checking and more rounds of changes.

Time until your deadline

Once we know the hours, we fit them into the days left before your deadline: weekdays first, then weekends, and nights only if needed. Always from the cheapest rate up.

WeekdaysWeekendsNights

Graphic design, web, motion graphics and video each have their own rate. A more complex piece takes more hours, at the same rate. Approved expenses (licences, image banks, printing, courier) are passed on at cost. Prices exclude VAT. Payment within 30 days of the invoice.

We sign an NDA before you share any material, whenever you need one. Each bid has its own team, files and access. Read our confidentiality protocols (PDF)
