The half of the retainer that builds the audience. Customer stories, founder interviews, jobsite and behind-the-scenes — shot and cut to earn attention, not to interrupt it.
Per month · branded content + advertising$2,000
Short reels, customer stories, founder interviews, recap films — the formats that make up a month.
When I started at BuildX there was no channel. No footage, no audience, no content engine — a construction company that was invisible online. I built the whole thing from nothing: showing up on jobsites, cutting customer stories, and shipping organic social every single week.
That is the entire pitch. Not a campaign — a system that compounds. It is the same system the monthly retainer runs for you.
A customer saying the thing you cannot say about yourself. Every testimonial session produces one five-minute long-form edit plus two short-form cutdowns, so the same shoot feeds your site, your ads and your feed.
$750 per testimonial — one shoot, one five-minute edit, two short-form cutdowns.
Anything outside the standard scope, priced up front.
