Sometimes managing a marketing team is like herding cats, but using our agency brings together 10+ disciplines under ONE single point of contact, takes more work off your plate and costs 20% LESS than hiring and training ONE employee.

Frequent questions:
How much does it cost?
- Our services start at $30K for our Starter Package.
- We have payment plans available.
- Each level of service is recommended to specifically suit the needs of your business.
We will always recommend a package that is accessible to your business and makes the most financial sense (we don’t believe in selling you a solution that might be too big for your current situation). You can trust our proven track record and dozens of client success stories, to give you full confidence that you are partnering with an experienced consulting and design firm that works with your best interest in mind.
What ROI should I expect?
Results vary by company but are always beyond our clients’ expectations. Use this example as a guideline:
- If your current single project volume is around $10M (gross)
- and your current profit is between 5% and 10% of each project = $50k – $100k
- You should be able to get back your initial investment with DCE Clarity with just ONE new project signed.
- For our clients, ROI is typically MUCH more than that, but let’s start with this simple goal.
- Ideally, our typical goal is that you start signing contracts that are 50% bigger in volume (and better in client quality) within a year.
When will I see results?
It very much depends on the results you are looking for, but here are some guidelines:
- Our brand and website development packages are built concurrently and can take as little as 3 months.
- Once we launch your brand and website, we apply our deployment campaign and you will see an increase in traction and lead generation immediately.
- Quick wins – Leads and inquiries should solidify according to your established sales and business development lead time.
- Long-term value – Our approach produces a positive compounded effect on the brand that will yield positive impressions and sales results for years to come!
What makes you different from other marketing agencies?
- Partnership – We don’t act like just another vendor for your business; we act as your Agency of Record, representing and guiding you thoroughly every step of the way.
- Value – Although we have never tried to be the cheapest agency, our services are very affordable. Quality service, in-house teams and experience cost time and money to build and maintain. In the world of consulting and design, you get what you pay for (a cheaper option means overseas teams, freelancers or unqualified startups that are looking to ramp up their portfolio). The market for agencies is incredibly saturated and unregulated, making the ease of entry into the digital world a bit easier than it should.
- Experience – We have proof of performance, and a large group of builders, engineers and architects vouching for the high quality of our work. We have been helping brands grow since 2008. Our Managing Partner’s reviews are real, and our 100+ pages of success are no coincidence.
- Efficiency – Time is money and it is NOT on anyone’s side. We work hard but smart, unlike other agencies who sometimes drag their feet, turn in work late and blame their clients.
- Strategy, always – Foremost, we are consultants, then marketers, and then designers. Nothing in your marketing should be left to chance, trends, coincidence or hunches. Our simplified data-driven approach is very similar to the one top builders use in their construction projects to always keep them under budget, within scope and on time.

Can you work with my company if it's brand new?
Although there are some exceptions, generally speaking, no. DCE Clarity won’t be a good fit for your business until you’re ready, and we must be convinced that it’s a smart financial decision for you and your company. It doesn’t generally make sense to engage us before your business is making at least $1MM (net) per year.
Why? Lets’ look at the math:
- AEC companies should be spending at least 5% of revenue on marketing (for every $1MM = $50,000)
- For any one-off project, the minimum client engagement is $20K. If you are not ready for that investment, it’s probably a good idea to look for ways to increase your project volume and consult with your financial team to discuss ways to increase profitability. Until you are ready, don’t engage a cheaper marketing firm. You will regret it.
- If you want a sustainable system to market and grow your business you should budget at least $50K per year. If you are making $1MM to $2MM (net), you should have no problem investing $50K – $75K (which is roughly $4K-$6K per month) on marketing. If this seems like too much, there might be other internal problems that need attention…
- For us, $20K is the absolute minimum that ANY reputable agency should require to produce real impact for commercial AEC strategies. Anything less than that would water down your efforts too much and just be a waste of money.
- As a milestone, your company should aim for an annual marketing budget of $100K. No fear. No conditions.
- From that – if you work with us – you can expect to see at least 2x ROI. No guesswork. No excuses. Just results.
Also, we recognize that certain strategies, particularly SEO, demand time before seeing conversion into substantial traffic and leads. While long-term gains are notable, we advocate that earlier-stage businesses focus on strategies with quicker returns.
