FAQs
-
My retainer packages are exclusively for previous branding clients, those whose businesses and brands I know. I have slots for a select few clients only, so that I can collaborate closely with you and give you my best work.
-
The answer is yes if any of the below is true:
• Your business requires new design assets every few weeks e.g. New programme or collection graphics
• You find copywriting doesn’t come naturally to you and you’d rather outsource it to someone who really understands your brand
• You’d like to send a newsletter or write more regular blog posts but just don’t find the time
• You want to post great content on social media but need a hand creating it (ideas, copy and images)
• You run regular masterclasses or online workshops and need support making great looking presentations
• You spend hours on sites like Canva creating social media graphics and would rather be focusing on your business service or product
• You have a SquareSpace site and need occasional tweaks or new pages added
-
There is a minimum 3-month commitment, but after that you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel if you wish.
-
Unused time can be rolled over to the next month once, but for my own planning, I’m unable to rollover any more than a single month’s worth of time. i.e. if you don’t use your time in April, it can be rolled over to May, but you can’t use April and May’s time on one big project in June.
-
Within your retainer hours I can provide any of the below services:
• Copywriting

“When I started my business, I was doing everything myself, but I realised marketing and branding were my weaker areas, and searched for help. I found Cara in 2019 and she has been by my side ever since, supporting me as I grow my business.
Working with Cara has been a blessing, she understands exactly what I need - she is the creative brain of Evîn. With her I found the soul of my brand and business.”
