Flexible Engagements Built Around Your Goals
BersonDeanStevens doesn’t sell packages; we scope every engagement to fit your business, goals, and budget. Below is a guide to how we typically structure our work.
Project-Based
Best for: Defined initiatives with a clear scope and timeline. Examples: Brand refresh, website redesign, campaign launch, AI implementation audit.
Investment: Starting at $5,000, depending on scope.
Ongoing Retainer
Best for: Companies that need consistent strategy and execution without full-time headcount. Examples: Fractional CMO support, monthly content and campaign management, digital marketing.
Investment: Monthly retainers typically range from $3,500–$15,000+ depending on hours and services.
Fractional CMO / Leadership
Best for: Mid-market companies that need senior marketing leadership, part-time, no overhead. A part-time CMO or CCO who functions as a true member of your team: attending leadership meetings, owning strategy, directing execution.
Investment: Starting at $5,000/month. Most fractional CMO engagements range from $5,000–$20,000/month depending on time commitment and scope.
Strategic Sprint
Best for: Teams that need focused strategic output in a compressed timeframe. Examples: Marketing audit, go-to-market strategy, AI readiness assessment, competitive analysis.
Investment: Flat-fee projects typically $3,500–$12,000.
What’s Included
