Service Description
Office Hours with Darren — $1,000 / hour Need clear answers this week? I offer one‑hour, no‑BS strategy calls (phone or Zoom) to cut through the fog and tell you exactly what to do next. Bring the messy questions: rethink your marketing org, how to work with creatives, fold content & social into what you already ship, docuseries or YouTube plan, production budgets that make sense, role comp ranges (CMO, Head of Marketing, Social Strategist, interns, videographers, editors), AI vs. Google Ads search strategy, LLM workflows by department, tools to adopt, tools to ignore. I’ve been doing the work for 30 years (the last seven neck‑deep in social), and I’ll give you straight answers, budget realities, and the fastest path to traction. What you get (in one hour): clear direction, specific budget/comp benchmarks, a 30/60/90 next‑steps list, and—if useful—warm intros to my network: founders, filmmakers, producers, copywriters, data pros, and AI/LLM specialists across disciplines. If the problem needs extra muscle, I can pull a senior specialist into the call or set a follow‑up with the right person. No bloat. Just the right people at the right moment. Guarantee: if 15–20 minutes in I can’t help, I stop the clock—no charge. If we finish and you didn’t get real value, money‑back. Simple. How it works: Text or email me directly. No gatekeepers. Send 3 bullets on your situation + any links (deck, channel, doc). We hop on the call and get to work. After, I send a tight recap with priorities, ranges, and links (and intros, if needed). Style & stance: punk‑rock speed, boardroom clarity. We cut jargon, make decisions, and move. If you’re ready to get unstuck and start shipping, let’s talk.
