Marketing Sprints for Established Service Businesses

Knap Creative offers Marketing Sprints — focused, short-term marketing support for established service-based businesses. A sprint moves stalled or half-finished marketing work out of your drafts folder and into the world, in one focused week, without a long-term retainer. Based in Alberta, working with clients across Canada and the United States.

Got a someday list that's been someday-ing for a while? Marketing Sprints get it done — copy, design, content — in a focused week.

What is a marketing sprint

A marketing sprint is one focused week of dedicated creative work on your priority marketing tasks — content, design, systems, or campaign prep. It's concentrated, flexible help for getting real things done, without committing to an ongoing monthly retainer.

How much does a marketing sprint cost

A marketing sprint is a flat $1,200. US clients are billed in USD, Canadian clients in CAD. It's a clearly scoped, fixed-price engagement — you know exactly what you're paying before it starts.

What's included in a marketing sprint

You get a pre-sprint planning call to figure out what matters most, one focused sprint week dedicated entirely to your work, a folder full of finished, brand-aligned work ready to use, and a revision window afterward to tweak and tighten anything. Most clients come in with a long list and leave with it handled.

What can a marketing sprint be used for

Common sprint deliverables include blog content, email newsletters and welcome sequences, opt-ins and lead magnets, social media graphics and captions, Pinterest setup or management, proposal templates, branded CRM setup (HoneyBook, Dubsado, and similar), and the random thing you've been meaning to fix for years. Scope is built around your specific priorities.

Who is a marketing sprint for

Marketing sprints are best for established service professionals who need efficient, flexible support and want progress without an ongoing retainer. They're ideal if you've become the bottleneck in your own business — full of ideas and half-finished drafts — and want a creative team that moves fast and actually keeps up.

How does a marketing sprint work

It starts with a free planning call to define priorities. You approve a custom project scope, pay the deposit and fill out a quick intake, stay available-ish for feedback during the week, and the focused sprint happens — followed by a revision window to refine the deliverables.

How is a marketing sprint different from a website project

A website project is a full brand-and-site build (typically $8,000–$11,000 over about six weeks). A marketing sprint is a smaller, flat-rate, one-week engagement for marketing tasks that aren't a full website — content, systems, email, social, and the like. Sprints don't include big custom builds or full website projects, but those can absolutely come later.

Do marketing sprints require an ongoing commitment

No. A sprint is a one-time, contained engagement — no monthly retainer, no extended timeline, no strings. You can book one when you need it and move on with everything handled. Many clients do come back for more when the next list piles up.
