Questions

How is the fee confirmed?
The published figure for the Content Partnership Retainer is the studio's standard fee for the scope described. Anything outside that scope is quoted in writing before it is started.
How do you take payment?
A written scope is issued first. Once it is accepted, the studio raises an invoice with a 50% deposit and a payment link. Work is scheduled against the cleared deposit.
What happens if the date moves?
Dates can be moved once at no cost with reasonable notice, as set out on the Cancellation page. Costs already committed to third parties are passed on at cost.
