Pricing

How we price.

A monthly base fee, a percentage of ad spend, and a 1-time onboarding fee. We work with brands investing at least $7,000 a month combined (ad spend plus management). No lock-in, month to month.

How pricing works

3 parts, all visible.

Every engagement runs on the same structure: a base fee, a percentage of ad spend, and a 1-time onboarding fee. You can see what each part pays for.

Monthly base fee01

The team on the account

A fixed monthly fee for the senior strategist, the creative production and the BAVai monitoring and reporting. One number, no hidden line items.

Percentage of ad spend02

Scales with your investment

A percentage of what you spend, on top of the base. More spend means more campaigns, creative and decisions to manage, so the fee follows the workload.

One-time onboarding03

Setup, paid once

A single fee before work starts. It covers the audit, the 90-day plan, the tracking setup and your first creative batch.

No lock-in

Billing is month to month. If it stops working for you, you stop.

Month to month

Retainer tiers

3 tiers, same structure.

Every tier runs on the base fee plus a percentage of ad spend, month to month. The difference is channels, creative volume and reporting depth.

Below that, Creative-only is usually the better fit until the numbers are ready for full ad management.
