Retent for Marketing Leaders
Run marketing on one AI layer instead of a chain of people and tools
Start with a sprintAgency fees were built for the old model. We built ours for AI.
One blended hourly rate. Pay only for the hours you use.
The old model
The traditional agency
- Exorbitant retainers that rarely map to work delivered
- No transparency into who did what, or how long it took
- Very high margins layered on top of every hour
- Bloated account teams: strategists, coordinators, and managers billed to your account
- Long contracts and minimums that lock you in before results show up
- AI efficiency kept as agency margin instead of passed to you
The Retent model
Hourly, transparent, pay as you go
$250per hour, blended
One rate for every role on your work. No retainers, no minimums.
- Hourly pricing. You pay for the work, not the relationship
- Full transparency. Every hour logged and visible to you
- Pay as you go. Scale up or down month to month
- Small senior team. No layers billed to your account
- The efficiency of AI shows up on your invoice, not in our margin
About Retent
Career marketers who build the software your team runs on
Our DNA is made of career marketers who have spent decades inside agencies and marketing organizations, and who now build with AI every day. We do not just understand your workflows. We know how to rebuild them so your team moves faster.
Retent pairs marketing judgment with engineering discipline. We go inside your organization, find the work that actually happens, and ship it back as software in the AI platform you already use.
