Research and Retainer Service
Our team offers retainer services, tailored to the individual needs of our clients and the type of relationship built with that client. Usually, there are two (2) basic retainer types, Pay for Work and Pay for Access retainers.
Pay for Work provide project-based work provided in regular intervals, while Pay for Access retainers provide clients access to our time and expertise when they need it.
Our team has developed a model which combines Pay for Work and Pay for Access models, giving clients regular access to our ongoing research with on-demand access to our team.
