The Tack Deal Maker — Build a Team
What should a marketing team actually cost?
Seven quick questions, one at a time. Real numbers, a real team, and a straight answer if you tell us what you can spend.
First — who are you?
This decides who from our side picks up the phone, and how fast.
Where do you want to start?
Both roads end in the same place. Pick whichever you actually know.
Who do you need?
Tap anyone you want on the team. You can change this later.
How big is the company?
Bigger company, more stakeholders and approvals. That is real work, so it changes the price.
How hard do you want to push?
Same people either way. This is about how much of them you get.
Where should we send it?
Your number is ready. Tell us who you are and it appears on the next screen — plus a written plan you can forward.
Here is your team.
A range, not a single number — because the honest answer depends on the month.
Excludes ad spend, licences, production, jumpstart fee and promotions.
Think that is too much? Make us an offer.
Name what you can actually spend a month. You get a straight answer in one click — yes, a counter, or the team that number really buys.
What are we building?
One-time build, priced as a project. Not a retainer.
Tell us about it
This is what moves the number.
How big is it?
Roughly. Nobody expects you to have counted.
Your project estimate.
One-time cost. Hosting, licences and ad spend sit outside it.
Retainer ranges are level-of-effort estimates and exclude ad spend, licences and production. Project ranges are one-time build costs. Team names below are the roles you get, not a staff list — you meet the actual humans on the call. Final pricing is confirmed on a 20-minute call, on the call, not in a follow-up deck.
Most agency sites say “pricing varies, every project is unique”. Translated: tell us your budget first, and our price will land suspiciously close to it.
So here is the deal. You get the real number before you talk to anyone — the same rates we quote on a Tuesday. If your budget and your wish list do not match, it says so, instead of you finding out in month three.
We will not
- Hide the price behind a demo.
- Quote one number and invoice another.
- Sell you one freelancer as a five-person team.
We ask for
- A work email and your website.
- Twenty minutes if the number works.
- Nothing else. We call you. No drip, no chasing.
Take the number and never call us. That is allowed. That is the point.
