After a free discovery call, we clarify your goals, define the project scope, and agree on deliverables, timelines, and pricing. We keep communication open, providing progress updates and milestones at each step.
How do you handle feedback and revisions?
We value transparent dialogue. Each project phase—drafts, campaigns, etc.—includes a structured feedback round to ensure the final result aligns with your expectations.
Do you maintain confidentiality and protect my intellectual property?
Absolutely. All client information is treated confidentially. We can sign NDAs upon request, and your intellectual property remains yours as per typical contract terms which we’ll agree upon in writing before work begins.
Contacting Us
How soon will I hear back after reaching out?
We usually reply within 1–2 business days for general enquiries, depending on the complexity. Active clients have response times specified in their service contract—some include more immediate support as needed.
Is the initial consultation free?
Yes, your first 30-minute discovery call is complimentary. This helps us understand your objectives and confirm if our expertise is a good fit.
What should I expect during the discovery call?
We’ll meet via video call to discuss your main goals, potential solutions, and whether our approach aligns with your needs. We’ll outline possible next steps so you can move forward confidently.
What should I prepare for the discovery call?
Think about your top priorities, key questions, and any relevant documents or links. Being prepared ensures we make the most of our time and you leave with valuable insights.
Can we work together if I’m not located in France?
Certainly. We work with clients worldwide through video calls, email, and collaborative online tools. Time zone differences and distance aren’t obstacles to a successful partnership.
Pricing, Billing, and Payment
How do you determine pricing?
Pricing is based on your project’s scope, the services required, and timeline. After the discovery call, we’ll provide a transparent, itemised quote aligned with industry standards.
What if my budget is limited?
We understand financial constraints. We offer flexible options and can recommend scaled-down services to achieve meaningful results—especially for NGOs or early-stage start-ups.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfers and major payment platforms. We’ll confirm these details with you once we establish the project’s specifics.
Do you require a deposit?
For project-based work, we typically request a 30% deposit to reserve your slot. The remainder is invoiced according to our agreement (e.g., on final delivery or at milestones). Retainer-based work doesn’t usually require a deposit. Instead, it’s invoiced monthly, issued on the first business day of the month for settlement by the last one.
All terms are negotiated, made clear and agreed upon in writing before work begins.
Can we structure payment by hour, deliverable, or word count?
Yes. We adapt to what works best for your project. Some clients prefer an hourly or daily rate, others a per-deliverable or per-word model. We’ll help you pick the most transparent and practical approach.
Do you offer discounts for retainers or long-term contracts?
Yes. We value long-term relationships, so retainer agreements of 12 months or more qualify for discounted rates. This approach fosters continued value and proactive support, allowing us to understand your needs deeply and deliver consistent results.
