What you get in the Perfect Mix
How we build trust & alignment
A client/vendor relationship is built on trust. We have found over the years that there are some key things we can do as a studio to help build this trust and relationship, which we have made sure to include in our The Perfect Mix.
Dashboard of your dreams*
*Or at least as close as we can get.
This dashboard will align with your business goals and help us determine what can drive revenue for your business while delighting your customers. We want this dashboard to be as clear as possible. No obfuscation. No changing tactics and goals without being clear with you about why. This is what builds the magic trust.
A plan, ordered by impact
In the first month, we estimate what each piece of work would do for your goals and what it would take, then put the list in order. That We revisit it with you every month.
A client portal, made just for you
We’ll build you a client portal in Notion that you can access from any browser. From there you will find links to our project management tool, meeting notes, assets and resources, invoices. If it’s part of the project, you can find it there.
One monthly meeting, ad hoc check-ins as needed
A full one hour is set aside each month to talk about the project, results, needs, and next steps. The meeting plan will be in your client portal so you can review prior to our call.
No hand-offs.
The person you first talk to runs your account.
What the work can be
Agreed alignment to drive your sales and marketing
Your company’s individual plan draws on whichever tactic will move your goals most.

Work we don’t do
There are a number of things that we don’t do. We have either found that they are best done in-house, maybe supported by a larger contract, or potentially a focus of a specialist. To try to help draw those lines, we have a specific page dedicated to work that we would consider Not within scope.
How a month can look
Month one is setup: goals, tracking, your dashboard and the plan. After that, the plan decides the work. These are examples, not a menu. Work that needs weekly attention, such as a live ad campaign, holds its track for as long as it runs.
| Tracks | In motion at once | A month might deliver |
|---|---|---|
| 1 track | One priority | Your monthly review, and one piece of work moved forward, such as launching a new Google Ads campaign, a new page rewritten and optimized, or an update to your automated email journey. |
| 3 tracks | Three priorities | Ads managed week to week, one page written for search, and one automation built, such as new inquiries sent straight to your phone. |
| 5 tracks | Five priorities | Paid media on two platforms, two pages written for search, one email sequence, and one fix to the page where visitors drop off. |
Why it works at this price
Our longest-running work is inside marketing teams at companies like Life Fitness and LHH: working out what to track, how to plan the work and how to write it down so a team can follow it. The Perfect Mix runs on the same dashboards, plans and procedures. You aren't paying us to work it out again.
Bend was founded to get businesses the digital marketing they need at a price that lets them flourish. Our clients have grown since, and we still want to do that for the smaller businesses our communities depend on.
A few projects on The Perfect Mix model
We’ve worked with a bunch of clients on the Perfect Mix. Here are a few.
RISE Futbol
From 2018 - 2023, we helped RISE Futbol find its place in the market. It was the first app-based soccer training tool, designed for elite high school athletes who wanted to play in college and professionally. At Bend, we helped them with their user journey, a site migration, and paid media.
Tango Home Services
From 2023-2024, we helped Tango Home Services migrate to an easier to use website platform, increase their visibility with SEO, and implemented tools to help them immediately respond to leads.
ilse Coffee
Since 2025, Bend has worked with ilse coffee to expand their reach and increase the eCommerce revenue on their Shopify platform. From SEO to subscriber-supporting marketing automation, we help them with whatever they need to sell more of their delightful coffee.
What it costs
The Perfect Mix is sold in tracks. One track is $1,000 a month. It includes everything above and keeps one priority from your plan in motion at a time. More tracks keep more priorities moving at once, up to five.
How many track of The Perfect Mix should we get?
It depends on the company. As a rule of thumb, we start with:
| Yearly revenue | Where we'd start | A month |
|---|---|---|
| Up to $1M | 1 track | $1,000 |
| $1M to $2M | 2 tracks | $2,000 |
| $2M to $3M | 3 tracks | $3,000 |
| $3M to $4M | 4 tracks | $4,000 |
| $4M to $5M | 5 tracks | $5,000 |
| Over $5M | A custom engagement | See Services |
Some things billed separately
Ad spend and software go straight on your card, up to a cap we agree on first. A one-off project you want done faster than the plan allows, such as a campaign you need out this month, is quoted on its own.
What we ask from you to make this work
This type of service works best when there are clear expectations set. Because of this, we have some very specific asks from our clients who are investing in this program with us.
3-month commitment
The first month is setup: goals, tracking, dashboard and plan. The work needs the months after it to show. After three months it runs month to month.
Be honest with feedback
Tell us what's working and what isn't. We'll do the same.
We take a limited number of Perfect Mix clients, so each one gets the time its plan needs. If there's a wait, we'll say so in our first reply.
Frequently asked questions
-
Paid media can bring visitors within days, though it takes testing to get the cost right.
