Peep these FAQs. If your questions still aren't answered, get in touch and we'll Venmo you $5 for a coffee during our chat.
what industries do you serve?
We specialize in highly regulated, vice-related emerging brands which is fancy talk for industries that have ever-changing regulations like cannabis, CBD/Hemp, outdoor adventure and recreation, alcohol and lifestyle, adult entertainment, intimate wellness, beauty & medical. Effectively navigating the tricky red tape is our jam.
While vice happens to be our reputation, we also work with non-vice business like coffee shops, restaurants, gyms and the like. We want to see you grow!
DO YOU WORK WITH BRANDS OUTSIDE OF YOUR SPECIALIZED INDUSTRIES?
Heck yea we do! We love helping emerging brands and businesses. A huge part of our core is empowering business owners (many with minimal marketing experience) to understand the critical parts of their marketing plan and the why. Our anti-agency way of working means that we are passionate about ensuring that clients don’t get agency back-burnered and feel like they understand the why to how their dollars are spent and strategies deployed.
WHAT’S THE LARGEST BUDGET YOUR TEAM HAS WORKED WITH?
While much of the talent in the collective comes from large scale corporate marketing backgrounds ($2M+ budgets), A Remote Collective focuses on the small fish with the big ideas. Not to get philosophical (but totally getting philosophical), we don’t think it’s fair that bright minds only service the big ticket players. Not every business is trying to be Google or Amazon, but every small business wants success. We make it easier for you to scale your business with no outrageous pricing and flexible payment terms. The average monthly client spend for our services is $2400.
WHAT’S THE AVERAGE BUDGET THAT YOUR CLIENTS SPEND?
Not every business is trying to be Google or Amazon, but every small business wants success. We make it easier for you to scale your business with no outrageous pricing and flexible payment terms. The average monthly client spend for our services is $2400. The general range (depending on services) is $1500 to $5500.
IS ALL OF YOUR PRICING A FIXED RATE OR A CUSTOM QUOTE?
It’s both. And, it varies. So let’s unpack that!
With all new clients, we focus on two phases: the build phase and the support phase. The build phase is an initial build that ensures that your business strategies, brand and systems are in place so that when we launch the support phase we know that we have the right foundation in place to scale strategies and services effectively within the budget assigned. The build phase will always be a custom quote and usually takes anywhere from 1 to 3 months to complete. Then, clients transition to a support phase (minimum 3-month contract) where they pick and pull from our list of services to support the programs we’ve put in place.
Oftentimes, agencies tell clients they’ll “take over” and manage certain initiatives, but they don’t take the 360 approach to ensure a proper foundation is in place to support a successful program. The client signs a 6-month contract with said agency and then they don’t see the results they wanted/were promised or (worse) see inflated data to keep the contract. It’s like buying a plane ticket for a seat only, but the airline didn’t tell you there’d be an extra fee for the fuel to get you there. We don’t work that way. That’s why we call ourselves an anti-agency. We’re a collective of talent who looks at the big picture, connects the dots and works towards scale as your ROI grows. We’re not money hungry. We’re growth focused.
DO ALL PROJECTS REQUIRE A BUILD PHASE?
At the end of the day, no. But we do highly recommend that all new clients focus on a build phase because it allows for tons benefits:
1 – We get to deep dive into your current systems and strategies, and then, build programs for a higher success ratio. Think of it this way, you wouldn’t buy a used car without taking it to a trusted mechanic for their advice before moving forward. The same goes with transfer of marketing program management.
2 – Walk before you run. It’s simple: get a strategy in place within the resource spectrum available, and then, go crush it.
IS REPORTING INCLUDED IN YOUR SERVICES?
First of all, if any agency doesn’t offer reporting or makes it difficult to access reporting, they’re only doing one thing: covering their *ss. We have an immense amount of experience, but even the best companies miss the mark at times. We’re not afraid to grow from our clients’ evolving customer journeys. Fortunately, for us, we’ve not had a bad review yet. And we’ll continue working hard for that. So to answer your curiosity: hell yea we provide reports. You’re spending the dollars. We want to make sure that you see results.
