Design + marketing communications

Now let’s get you noticed.

mStudio is an intentionally small design + marketing communications agency for small businesses and nonprofits—including churches.

We learn your organization. We do the work. We stay with it as your needs change.

Whole-picture perspective + hands-on execution

Intentionally small. By design.

Hi, I’m Daniel.
I stay close to the work.

At mStudio, you work directly with the person thinking through the work—and doing it.

My work spans design, marketing communications, websites, content, campaigns, and ongoing care. That range helps me see the whole picture and take care of what it requires.

I learn your organization. I know what’s moving, what needs attention, and how the work should adjust as your needs change.

Ongoing by design

One focused area. Or the whole marcom picture.

Some clients need mStudio to strengthen one part of their design and marketing communications. Others need the full picture handled.

Every mStudio relationship is an ongoing monthly retainer. We shape the scope around what you need now, then adjust it as those needs change.

Focused design + marcom

Strengthen
what you have

A focused mix of messaging, design, content, or campaign support where it will help most.

The scope flexes as your needs change.

Full design + marcom

Your ongoing
marcom department

Planning, messaging, design, content, campaigns, and coordination—handled together.

The work can include

  • Design
  • Messaging
  • Content
  • Websites
  • Email
  • Social
  • Video
  • Podcast
  • And more

Retainers in practice

What ongoing support makes possible.

The hours create capacity. Your priorities determine how we use it.

The work is rarely one thing for very long. A website need may lead to messaging. Messaging may lead to a campaign. A campaign may need email, social, print, or something we have not thought of yet.

What that capacity can hold

The work moves. The relationship stays.

The ongoing relationship gives us room to respond to what matters now—while still seeing how each piece connects to the bigger communication picture.

Strategy Messaging Design Websites Content Email Social Campaigns

These are examples of that capacity at work across current mStudio relationships.

The amount of capacity can flex too

Not packages. Just two examples.

Your retainer may live at either end, somewhere between them, or change as the work itself changes.

Focused design + marcom support

10–15 typical
hours / month

Keep the right priorities active.

Enough capacity to keep a defined set of priorities active and improving—often combining design, content, websites, email, or campaign work.

Together, we determine what matters most and keep it moving.
capacity flexes with the work

Full design + marcom support

40–50 typical
hours / month

Lead the whole marcom picture.

Enough capacity for mStudio to function as your marketing communications department—setting priorities, shaping messages, creating across channels, coordinating campaigns, and responding as needs change.

mStudio becomes an extension of the people already carrying the work.

Built to flex

Not a preset package. The retainer provides ongoing capacity to identify the right work, do it well, and keep strengthening it over time.

Let’s put it to work

Better design, marketing + communications. Built around what you need.

Strategy, messaging, design, digital, campaigns, content—or the whole marcom picture. We’ll identify what will actually help, establish the right level of ongoing support, and keep the work moving.

A conversation is where it starts. Tell me what you’re trying to accomplish. I can share more examples of how mStudio retainers work in practice, and we can see what makes sense for you.
