Who it is for

Built for three kinds of team

Most of our retainer clients have no marketer, or one marketer doing the work of five.

  • No marketer

    Marketing is nobody’s job

    Owners who know they should post, email and advertise, but never have the time to do it well.

    Usually Essentials · £399/mo

    You need more than one pair of hands

    Businesses with steady demand who want a consistent plan across channels and someone to run it.

    Usually Growth · £899/mo

  • In-house marketer

    You have one person stretched thin

    We work alongside your marketer on the channels they cannot cover, reporting to them.

How the retainer works

One flat monthly fee, agreed before we start and fixed for the term. You can move up or down a plan with a month’s notice. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices.

Questions

Before you order

Anything else, ask us directly — ceo@digiapex.co.uk.

Which channels should I be on?

Usually two or three, chosen for where your customers already spend time. We recommend them in the discovery call and explain why.

Do I have to approve everything?

You approve the monthly plan and calendar. Individual posts can go out without sign-off once you are comfortable, or you can review each one.

Is ad spend included?

No. Ad spend is paid directly to the platform from your card, so you can see and control it. Our fee covers management only.

Can I change plans?

Yes. Move up or down with a month’s notice. Many clients start on Essentials and add channels once they see what works.

What if I already have a marketer?

The Partner plan is built for that. We report to them, cover the channels they cannot, and share our planning board with them.
