Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need to figure that out before we talk.

We’ll start with what’s happening in your business, what you’re trying to accomplish, who you’re trying to reach, and where your marketing may be getting stuck.

From there, I’ll recommend the approach that makes the most sense, whether that’s ongoing marketing management, social media management, a focused branding or website project, or marketing strategy and coaching you can implement yourself.

Yes. Not every business fits neatly into a predetermined marketing package.

If you need more than social media management but don’t need full-scale marketing management, a customized mix of marketing and communications services may make more sense.

Depending on your goals and priorities, that could include marketing strategy, social media content, email marketing, website content and updates, articles, event marketing, public relations, or other communications.

We’ll determine the right scope after looking at what your business actually needs.

No. That’s part of what you’re hiring me to help with.

Ongoing marketing support starts with understanding what’s happening in your business, what you’re trying to accomplish, and what your customers or audience need to hear.

From there, I can help identify the stories, priorities, opportunities, and ideas worth communicating and determine the best marketing channels for getting the word out.

One month that might mean social media marketing and email. Another month it could include an article, website content, event promotion, a press release, or a combination of marketing communications.

I’ll still need your knowledge, input, and access to information only you have, especially in the beginning. But the goal is to take marketing off your plate, not give you another marketing to-do list.

We’ll collaborate more closely in the beginning so I can understand your business, brand voice, customers, goals, and marketing priorities.

Once the direction and workflow are established, I can take more of the lead on marketing planning, content creation, and execution.

You’ll still provide information, feedback, and approvals when needed, but you shouldn’t have to constantly manage the marketing process.

The goal is consistent, strategic marketing that keeps moving while you focus on running your business.

Yes. Not every business needs ongoing marketing management.

Focused creative and marketing projects may include branding and visual identity, logo design, website design or website updates, marketing strategy, articles and long-form content, event marketing, campaigns, marketing reviews, and other defined communications needs.

We’ll determine the scope, deliverables, and investment based on what you’re trying to accomplish rather than adding services you don’t need.

You don’t have to outsource your marketing to benefit from professional marketing strategy and guidance.

Marketing coaching and strategy sessions are available for business owners, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals who want to handle their own marketing but need help deciding what to focus on, how to reach the right people, and what to do next.

Instead of paying for ongoing implementation, you’ll walk away with clearer marketing priorities, an actionable plan, and specific next steps you can put into practice yourself.

Pricing depends on the type of support you need and the scope of the work.

Ongoing marketing management and social media management have starting prices based on the level of strategy, content creation, execution, and ongoing involvement required.

Branding, logo design, website design, event marketing, content development, and other focused projects are priced according to the scope and complexity of the project.

After our initial conversation, I’ll recommend an approach and provide clear pricing and scope before work begins.

Absolutely.

We can collaborate with your internal marketing team as well as web developers, photographers, videographers, printers, advertising partners, event professionals, and other creative or marketing specialists.

You don’t necessarily need to replace the people who are already working well for you. Sometimes the missing piece is someone who can provide marketing direction, connect the pieces, create the content, and help keep everything moving.

Clear roles, communication, and one primary point of contact help make that collaboration work smoothly.

Yes. Nanette Asbury Creative works with businesses in Greenville, SC and throughout Upstate South Carolina on marketing strategy, marketing management, social media management, branding, logo design, website design, content creation, event marketing, and other creative communications.

Working with Greenville-area businesses also allows for in-person meetings, discovery sessions, content gathering, and collaboration when that makes sense for the project.

Absolutely. While Nanette Asbury Creative is based in the Greenville, South Carolina area, clients don’t need to be local.

Marketing strategy, social media management, branding, website design, content development, coaching, and ongoing marketing relationships can all be managed virtually.

The first conversation is about understanding your business before deciding what you need.

We’ll talk about what’s happening in your business now, what prompted you to reach out, what you’d like to accomplish, who you’re trying to reach, and what success would look like.

We may also discuss timing, budget, and who will be involved in making decisions.

If it looks like we’re a good fit, I’ll recommend the next step and the type of marketing, branding, website, or creative support that makes the most sense.

Sometimes the easiest way to figure out what you need is simply to talk about it.

Whether you’re looking for ongoing marketing support, social media management, branding, website design, or help with a focused project, we can start with what’s happening in your business and determine what makes sense from there.
