How we work

You fill in the brief, we analyze the input and send a commercial proposal with a list of work, deadlines and cost. After approval we sign a contract and form a team for your task: strategists, project managers, designers, copywriters, producers, photographers, videographers and other specialists. For narrow tasks we involve trusted external specialists, but for you we remain a single contractor.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to work with the agency?

There is no single price: the cost depends on the scope of work, the complexity of the project, the number of specialists and the deadlines, and is determined in a commercial proposal after the brief. “From” benchmarks: turnkey SMM from 500,000 ₸ per month, video shooting for business from 200,000 ₸, an advertising and image video from 250,000 ₸, brand platform and logo book from 800,000 ₸, brand book and rebranding from 1,500,000 ₸.

Do you have tariffs and service packages?

No. We have given up fixed packages: they often include what the client does not need or do not cover their tasks. We form an individual commercial proposal only from the services needed for your task.

How is the work built from the first request to the result?

You fill in the brief, we analyze the input and send a commercial proposal with a list of work, deadlines and cost. After approval we sign a contract, form a team and get to work. At key stages we show results and agree on decisions; 2 rounds of revisions are included in the project.

What payment options are possible?

Standard options: 100% prepayment or phased payment 50/50 (50% before work begins and 50% at an agreed stage). For corporate clients deferred payment with a term of no more than 30 calendar days is possible.

Can you guarantee a result?

We cannot guarantee a specific number of views, requests or sales: they are influenced by platform algorithms, the audience and demand for the product. We guarantee the completion of the agreed scope of work and meeting deadlines, define performance indicators in advance and do not promise sales without understanding your business.
