Katelyn Whelan · Strategic Partner Retainer

Let's build
something real
together.

starting at $2,500 per month

This isn't a task list. It's a partnership — for brands that are ready to show up with intention and need someone in their corner who thinks as hard about their business as they do.

You get a creative and marketing strategist who understands both the big picture and the tiniest detail — someone who can zoom out to map your direction and zoom in to make every piece of it look and feel exactly right.

Every month is shaped around where you are and where you're going. The work evolves because your business does — and I'm here for all of it.

01

Monthly Strategy Session

We meet, we think, we plan. A dedicated session each month to align on priorities, review what's working, and map the path forward. You leave with clarity — not a to-do list handed down from above.

02

Creative Direction & Design

Graphics, visual assets, brand collateral — designed with intention and cohesion. Not templated. Not rushed. Built to look like you and speak to your people.

03

Marketing & Content Strategy

An ongoing strategy for how your brand shows up — across email, social, and beyond. Editorial direction, campaign planning, content calendars, and the thinking behind all of it.

04

Email Marketing Support

Campaigns written, designed, and executed with strategy at the center. From newsletters to automated flows, your email list gets the attention it deserves.

05

Ongoing Communication

You're not waiting on a weekly check-in to get answers. I'm a responsive, present partner — available for questions, quick feedback, and in-the-moment decisions throughout the month.

06

Monthly Recap & Priorities

A brief end-of-month review of what we accomplished and what we're carrying into the next month — so nothing slips and you always know where we stand.

"Working together should feel like having a thought partner who genuinely cares about your business — not a vendor checking boxes."

1

Discovery Conversation

We start with a real conversation — no intake form, no pitch deck. I want to understand your business, your goals, and what's been getting in the way. This shapes everything.

2

Scoped Together, Not At You

We build the engagement around what you actually need. Scope and investment are determined together — I'll never oversell or underdeliver.

3

We Get to Work

Month one is grounding — understanding your brand, your audience, and your current state. From there, we build momentum and the work compounds.

4

We Evolve

Good partnerships grow. We check in regularly on what's working and adjust as your business does. This isn't set-it-and-forget-it — it's alive.

This is a great fit if you —

  • Have a brand worth investing in and are ready to show up consistently
  • Want a partner in the thinking, not just someone to execute tasks
  • Value creative integrity and long-term brand building
  • Are open to honest strategy, even when it means changing course
  • Want to feel confident in how your brand looks and communicates

We might not be the right match if —

  • You need a high-volume content factory with fast turnarounds
  • You're looking for guaranteed numbers over genuine strategy
  • You want someone to follow a brief, not help shape one
  • You prefer to keep strategy and execution fully separate
