A diagnostic, a campaign, and a system you own forever. Different commitments, different price points — built on the same belief: build equity in your business, don't subscribe to it.
Built by founders, in Houston, for founders, in Houston.
Not sure which is yours? The Calculator routes you in about two minutes. Or read the three below and pick the one that matches where your business actually is.
If you don't know what you don't know about your marketing, the Audit makes it visible. A documented diagnosis, months of strategy, and a call to turn it into a plan.
Diagnose first. No obligation to go further.
A focused 30, 60, or 90-day marketing campaign — PR, content, and channel execution, all aligned to your voice and run end-to-end by our team. Real campaign work, scoped to the goal you bring us.
Scoped to your business. Price set on the call.
A custom marketing system, built for your business in 21 business days and owned by you forever. We maintain it for a year. You keep it for good.
After Year 1: $497/mo or $5K/yr to maintain. Optional.
The three aren't competing options. They're a path. Each one earns the next.
The Audit shows you exactly where your marketing stands and what's worth doing about it. Many founders start here because it's the honest first move.
A Campaign puts our team behind a defined goal on a fixed timeline — PR, content, and channels, executed end-to-end. Full-service marketing for a specific push.
The Engine is the system itself — built once, owned forever, maintained by us. A different commitment from a campaign: instead of hiring execution, you own the machine.
Two different needs. A Campaign is our team running a defined push for you — PR, content, and channels — on a fixed timeline. The Engine is a custom system we build once and hand you to own and operate for good. Many founders only ever need one of the two.
No tier engineering, no hidden line items. Here is exactly what separates the three.

| What you get | A documented diagnosis | Executed campaign work | A system you operate |

There are three ways a founder-led business can handle marketing. Two of them you rent forever. Here is the honest version — including where we cost more.
| A SaaS stackrun it yourself | A marketing agencyhire it out | The Presence Engineown it | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | An all-in-one platform, or 6–8 separate tools | A monthly retainer team | A system built for you and owned by you |
| Typical cost | ~$300–$850/mo + usage fees | ~$3,000–$8,000/mo | $25,000 once, then optional $497/mo |
| Three-year spend | ~$11K–$31K | ~$108K–$288K | ~$35K |
| Who does the work | You do | They do | We build it. You run it. We maintain it. |
| Built for your business | Generic templates | Somewhat | Fully custom |
| You own the system | No | No | Yes, forever |
| If you stop paying | Everything shuts off | Work stops, assets stay with them | It keeps running. You keep it. |
| Price over time | Ratchets, plus usage fees | Renews and rises | One number. Never changes. |
We'll say the part most won't: if all you want is the lowest monthly number, a platform you run yourself is cheaper than we are. What it isn't is custom, done for you, or yours. Over three years the Engine costs a fraction of an agency — and unlike either alternative, at the end you hold the asset.
Figures use published 2026 pricing for all-in-one marketing platforms and typical small-to-mid-business agency retainers. Your numbers will vary.
We've turned down marketing directors looking for software to resell, pre-revenue founders looking for a shortcut, and SaaS companies looking for B2B lead-gen automation. None of those are us. The Engine runs ten founders a quarter because that's how many we can build well — not a marketing line, an actual ceiling.
