OUR PROCESS IS SIMPLE
How do Retainers Work?
By starting our relationship with a strategy, we build an understanding of your team and the way you work with clients. We analyze your current standing in the marketplace and understand where you hope to be at the end of our project, or through the long run. Then we can design and implement multiple, customized pathways to get you there.
Our job is to promote you, engage with your clients and bring in more sales. We don’t just make you look and sound good. We go further. Each endeavor and campaign we create is based upon a personalized sales funnel we developed in collaboration with our client’s efforts.

Why Not Hire
In-House?
“The stability of a steady paycheck can lead to the apathy of an in-house marketing team.”
From overhead costs to insurance, payroll, and more, the expenses of a full-time employee add up quickly. On top of a base salary, add about 30% to the total compensation package for overhead, $12,000 per employee per year for office space and tools, and around $4,700 per hire for a new employee. Whew – that’s got me sweating. 😰
Abask Marketing is an award-winning copywriting, content marketing, and communications agency dedicated to building clients’ credibility, expanding their customer base, and enhancing their brand recognition.
By committing to a monthly retainer with us, you not only gain the expertise of a full-time CMO, but you also get a full-service design and branding team, social media experts, multiple copywriters, a website and SEO team, and a marketing coordinator.
In the PR/marketing world where the clock is always ticking and creativity counts, having a team like Abask on your side is a real plus. Exceptional wordsmiths who are easy to work with and truly respect deadlines, I’m always impressed with their ability to leverage disparate and sometimes pedestrian concepts into winning copy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you price your services?
We price our services based on several factors:
- Industry Standards
The baseline for our rates is taken from industry statistics published annually by several sources, including Copyhackers.com, Hubspot, and American Writers and Artists, Inc. - Our Qualifications
Abask was started in 2010 by experts in rhetorical communication and former VPs of Marketing and Communication for leading organizations. We write content every day, stay on top of trends, and expand our knowledge of our craft continuously. We are award winners. We have written copy for restaurants, hotels, cruise lines, construction companies and developers, schools and three universities, recruiters and staffing companies, a Nobel Prize Winner, and even the organization that delivers the President’s Daily Brief. We are fast, we are talented, and we are worth our cost.
We offer discounts to previous customers and agencies. We are able to do this because a standing relationship helps us to move faster.
What tools do you use?
We may use a handful of tools to keep the marketing engine running, including:
Linkinbio | MailChimp | Jotform |
Envato Elements | Intercom | Drift |
WP Job Manager | Later.com | Monday.com |
Sendinblue | ClickUp | Leadpages |
SendWP | Adobe Suite | SEMRush |
Pipedrive | PowToon | Canva |
CoSchedule | GSuite | OneSignal |
Zapier | Twilio | WordPress |
HubSpot | Wincher | Yoast |
What industries do you work with?
Most of our clients are in recruitment, construction, healthcare, travel, or the maritime industry.
That being said, we have also worked with government contractors, several restaurants, three universities, realty companies, vacation rentals, an airline, a cruise line, hotels, tech companies, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and the nation’s largest car dealership.
We like working with open-minded, honest people. That’s our favorite niche.
What is the most common project you work on?
We probably work on social media, websites, and emails for clients more than anything else, but we have written a lot of speeches, ebooks, blogs, brochures, and proposals, too. If you have a project we didn’t list, feel free to send us a request. If it’s not our cup of tea, we can probably refer you to an expert copywriter for that arena.
Are you crazy for grammar?
No! We don’t believe that excellent copy and perfect grammar have to go hand in hand. We believe you should write in a conversational tone to engage people. When you read, you want to feel like you’re being spoken to OR you are watching the story unfold. That doesn’t always happen with perfect grammar.
The best copy stirs emotions. Words like “synergy” are the antithesis to connecting with people. When was the last time a friend asked you to coffee in order to synergize?
What will you NOT do?
- We won’t swim with sharks.
- We also won’t write controversial copy. We don’t need the guilt.
- We won’t charge per word. If that’s your bag, baby, that’s fine. Google “cheap copywriters” and take your pick. Just remember, you get what you pay for.
- We won’t work with jerky people. If you’re not a jerk, then we would love to work with you! If you are, take a breath and put the kettle on. Then, Google “cheap copywriters.”
What's one thing nobody asks you?
“Do you have any allergies?”
We don’t.
We love peanuts, gluten, and lactose. We are equal-opportunity eaters.
Are there any guarantees?
Yes, death and taxes are both guaranteed.
For a full (and somewhat boring) list of our policies, click here. If you are just looking for a short answer, the answer is no. If we enter into a retainer agreement, we will work on your project for as long as it takes to make you happy (usually two rounds of edits). If we work on an individual project with you, we will provide you with three rounds of edits.
Our process has been in place since 2010 and we have a 100% client satisfaction rate.
