The Creative Partner Retainer.

I work best with clients who stick around.

The retainer

This is not a project.
This is not a hire.
It is a monthly creative relationship, directed by your priorities.

The Creative Partner Retainer gives you monthly capacity across all four disciplines. Each month starts with a short alignment call where you set the priorities. Brand one month, website the next, a campaign after that. The work follows what your business needs, not a fixed deliverable list.

Retainers start at €1,800/month for around two days of senior creative time. Larger tiers roughly double and triple that capacity, and the top tier is held for one or two clients at a time.

Three-month minimum, then rolling monthly with 30 days notice. Capacity doesn't roll over, which is exactly why the monthly call exists. Cancel any time. But you won't want to!

Final scope confirmed on a discovery call. Photography and video are a separate add-on at any tier, from €550 for a half-day shoot.

What shipped, what's next, and where next month's capacity does the most good.

FAQs

What's the minimum commitment?

Three months, then rolling monthly with 30 days notice. Three months is the shortest window in which retained creative shows its value.

What if I don't use my days?

Capacity doesn't roll over. The monthly call exists precisely so that never happens. In practice the problem runs the other way.

What if none of the three tiers fit?

That's normal, and exactly what the discovery call is for. The tiers are a starting shape, not a fixed menu. Scope and price get confirmed together before anything is agreed.

Do you take one-off projects?

Yes. Brand, web, and photography projects run alongside the retainers. Retainer clients get first call on the calendar, project work books into what remains.

Can the work be done in Irish?

Yes, natively. I'm one of the few senior creatives in Ireland who can lead a project fully in Irish, from strategy through to delivery, without outsourcing the language.

Who actually does the work?

I do. No account manager, no juniors, no handoffs. The person on the call is the person doing the work.

Not sure which shape fits?

The first conversation is always a call. No brief required, no commitment.
