We offer service three packages developed around the HubSpot Marketing & Sales Hubs, our retainer options are designed to match your HubSpot subscription, the tools available within the platform and the level of effort and budget that our clients are comfortable with.

FAQ's
Frequently asked questions about retainers, timeframes, project work and more.
What is a retainer?
A fixed monthly fee for our services. Your package determines the work we have agreed to deliver each month and the cost is fixed. Retainer packages are for a 12 month period, then month to month.
Do I need HubSpot?
All retainers require you to have a HubSpot subscription. Your HubSpot fees are paid directly to HubSpot and it's your direct account.
Here's the Hubspot pricing page https://www.hubspot.com/pricing/suite
Any HubSpot onboarding fees charged by HubSpot are waived if you are a Bark client.
Are retainers suitable for everyone?
Not every company will get the best out of the retainer model or HubSpot. We generally work best with insurance businesses that
- Have GWP $10 Million+
- Have a dedicated marketing person in-house
- If you have niche market products or an industry/association focus it's a plus.
- You have time to engage with us, the ability to review material, approve and be part of the process.
What's involved in a Campaign?
A campaign typically includes the building of a landing page in your HubSpot account, this could be a product page, Cyber Insurance for example.
Then we build an email campaign, several social media posts, we'll build CTA's in HubSpot and embed these in the EDM and social posts, landing page etc.
We'll add all assets to the HubSpot campaign tool for tracking.
Test, test, test and Launch! Then tracking and reporting.
Can I customise my own retainer package
Yes, the Full-Service option is fully customised to fit your business needs. And we're flexible on the Pro package too.
