Consulting & Retained Partnerships

Looking for something longer-term? While Salt + Noelle often works on a project basis, I love building deeper, ongoing partnerships with brands and agencies who share my values.

Before launching Salt + Noelle, I spent nearly a decade leading marketing, operations, and community education at Universal Music Group and Apple.

Now, I bring that experience into the field - pairing content strategy with grounded, observational photography and a genuine passion for helping brands grow.

Pricing for ongoing partnerships starts at $1,950/month, with custom options based on your needs.

What's Included

Every partnership is specialized, but most include:

  • Digital strategy tailored to your goals
  • Creative direction, copywriting, and content planning as needed
  • Bespoke campaign support
  • Monthly check-in calls to review progress and set priorities
  • Ongoing editorial calendar with tailored content ideas and prompts.
  • Direct, ongoing access to Alexis Noelle (formerly with UMG and Apple)
  • Flexibility to adapt your partnership as your needs shift

How It Works

  1. Discovery Call: We’ll start with a free 30-minute chat to discuss what you’re looking for in a creative partnership.
  2. Custom Proposal: After our conversation, I’ll send you a custom proposal with the support, deliverables, and monthly quote that make the most sense for your goals.
  3. Kickoff: Together, we’ll align on priorities, workflow, and communication style so you always know what to expect.
  4. Ongoing Partnership: Each month, you get consistent, hands-on support, regular check-ins, and clear next steps. As your business evolves, we’ll revisit and adapt your partnership scope.

Who This Is For

This partnership is ideal for small businesses, travel brands, hotels, tour operators, lifestyle brands, and creative entrepreneurs. It suits any team seeking direct, ongoing access to an experienced strategist and creative partner. If you value a genuine working relationship and want to avoid agency churn or one-size-fits-all guidance, this is for you.

Why This Model?

You get the benefits of a fractional creative director, strategist, and consultant - all in one. No handoffs, work directly with me every time. You’ll always receive flexible support and a partner who’s invested in your long-term growth. My approach is informed by experience at UMG, Apple, and with brands of all sizes.

FAQs

How is the partnership scoped?

Each partnership is individually tailored based on your business goals and and workflow. We’ll discuss what you need during your discovery call and I’ll send a clear proposal outlining deliverables, communication cadence, and monthly pricing.

What if my needs change?

Your partnership is flexible. If your business evolves or you want to adjust the scope, we’ll revisit and update your agreement together.

Can I combine ongoing partnership with project-based work or in-person shoots?

Absolutely. Many clients start with a retainer and add project work or on-location sessions as needed. We’ll build a plan that fits your goals.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Most clients see the best results with a three-month partnership, but I’m happy to discuss shorter or longer arrangements based on your needs.

You’ll have direct, ongoing access via text on your preferred platforms, plus scheduled calls for deeper check-ins.

What kind of advice do you provide?

Salt + Noelle provides consulting and digital products for informational and strategic purposes only.

Clients are responsible for their own business decisions and compliance.

I partner with small businesses, travel brands, hotels, tour operators, lifestyle brands, creative entrepreneurs, and other mission-driven teams.

What happens on the discovery call?

We’ll talk through your brand, goals, pain points, and what you’re looking for in a partner. I’ll answer your questions, and if it feels like a fit, I’ll follow up with a custom proposal.

Can I switch to project-based work later?

Yes! If ongoing partnership isn’t the right fit long-term, we can always pivot to project-based work or a different support structure.

What if I don’t know exactly what I need?

That’s completely okay—and actually very common! Just send me an email or fill out the contact form with a few details about your business, goals, or challenges. I’ll review your message and help you figure out the best next step.
