Cost

What does social media content cost?

The honest answer is: it depends, and usually nothing follows. Here is what it depends on, what is possible at different budgets, and why we do not have a price list.

The short answer

Anything between €1,000 and €100,000 is a real number.

That sounds like a dodge, but it is the reality of this trade. Social media content is not a product with a unit price. It is a collection of choices, and every choice moves the number. One set of images for a product launch and a fully handled content year for three brands both sit under the same question.

What you can do with that: see roughly where your own situation falls, and understand which dials turn the number up or down. Those are the two blocks below.

We quote per request, and that quote is with you within two working days. There is no price list because a fixed package either gives you too little or charges you for something you never use.

What your budget buys

Slide to your own order of magnitude.

Indicative, and deliberately not a price list: these are budgets brands bring, and what can be made with them in practice. Your own job is quoted separately.

Considered

Still simple content, but it has been thought about.

  • Several sets rather than one, built along a single line
  • Photography and short-form mixed, tuned to what your channel asks for
  • What is working in your category right now feeds into what we make
  • More personal in tone: your people, your products, the way you talk

Not yet: No location shoots yet, and no year plan.

This is an indication, not a quote. What is possible in your case depends on what exactly you want made: how many images, whether there are shoots, how much video, how many products and how much thinking goes with it. Two jobs on the same budget can look very different, so your own number may land higher or lower than what you read here. No rights can be derived from this page — only the quote you receive from us is binding.

All amounts are excluding VAT. Starting smaller is possible too: the pilot is €375 and comes off the bill as soon as you continue.

The dials

What really sets the number.

Six things, roughly in this order of weight. Anyone who knows these can estimate their own job reasonably well before somebody writes a quote.

  • Whether anything is filmed

    If something genuinely has to be photographed or filmed — people, a space, a product whose every detail must be right — there is production around it. If the imagery can come out of our own pipeline, most of that falls away. This is by far the biggest factor.

  • How much, and how often

    One set is more expensive per image than ten sets. Not because we discount, but because the brand analysis, the style frames and the references are built once and then stay. Ongoing work is structurally better value per post than one-off jobs.

  • Video or stills

    Video costs more than photography — there is editing, rhythm and sound in it, and a reel that works is not a photograph that moves. What it is worth depends on your channel: in some places one good reel does more than ten images.

  • Thinking or only making

    If you already know what should be made, we make it. If we also have to decide WHAT gets made — which message, which moment, which order — that is strategy work and it counts.

  • Management on top

    Delivering only is cheaper than delivering and posting and measuring. Management is never quietly folded in: it is a separate choice you make.

  • How much variation

    One product in twenty scenes is a different kind of work from twenty products with one image each. In the second, every product has to be made to sit right again, and that counts.

For comparison

What the other routes cost.

To weigh a budget you need something to weigh it against. These are market prices, not ours, for the three routes brands usually choose between. The figures are Dutch and West-European; where you sit, they will differ.

  • A commercial photoshoot. €3,500 – 7,500 in Western Europe once you add up the photographer, crew, studio or location and retouching. You come away with beautiful imagery and an empty diary for next time. With us runs the same shoot from €750 to €1,500, and the imagery keeps coming afterwards instead of running out.
  • An agency on a monthly fee. In the Netherlands typically from around €1,500 – 2,500 a month for content and management, with a term underneath it. You are buying continuity, and an account layer you help pay for. With us there is no term underneath and no account manager in between. You agree per job, and in a month when you need nothing you pay nothing.
  • Hiring someone. A mid-level content marketer in the Netherlands runs to €55,000 – 70,000 a year in employer costs, and that person is one discipline — usually not photographer, editor AND strategist. With us you get those disciplines together, for roughly half of what that one hire costs. And you can stop.

That difference does not come from cutting corners, but from a production pipeline that does the repetitive half of the work — here is exactly how.

On money

What brands ask about this.

Why is there no price list on the site?

Because every job is put together differently, and a fixed package either gives you too little or charges you for something you do not use. We would rather quote precisely what you asked for. What there IS: the slider above, so you know what order of magnitude you are in before you request anything.

Can I start smaller than €1,000?

Yes. The pilot is €375: a first small set of real work on your own brand, with your own products, so you can see what you get before handing over a whole project. If you continue, that amount comes off the bill.

What does a photoshoot with you cost?

A shoot with us runs from €750 to €1,500, where the same commercial shoot by the traditional route lands at €3,500 to €7,500 — photographer, crew, studio and retouching added up. That difference does not come from cutting corners but from the production around it; here is how.

Is VAT included in these amounts?

All amounts on this page are excluding VAT. The quote states the amount including it, with the rate alongside.

Do you work on monthly fees?

Only if you want that yourself and there is ongoing work against it. We have no subscription that runs on through a month in which you need nothing — that is exactly the model brands get stuck in with agencies.

How do I find out what MY job costs?

Request a quote. Within two working days there is a proposal: what we would make, what it costs, and how we read your brand. If the size is off, you say so and we adjust it. There is no call in between and no salesperson comes round.

Just ask.

The only way to know your own number is to have it worked out. Describe what you need and there is a quote within two working days — no call, no salesperson.
