Marketing and digital leadership. Priced plainly.
Bright10 is led by its principal — fifteen years of global marketing and digital leadership experience at leading multinational companies, absorbed into a digital studio. Every engagement gets that judgement directly. Fees are fixed, VAT included, and agreed before work starts: engagements from R90 000, most between R240 000 and R440 000 — and you can ask for a working preview before you pay.
Engagements
Five shapes an engagement takes. The bands are honest guides — the exact fee is scoped with you and fixed before anything begins.
| Engagement | Who it is for | Fee (fixed) |
|---|---|---|
| Business Website | For an established smaller business that needs a serious, senior-led presence — without the full corporate programme. | from R90 000 |
| Corporate Repositioning | For an established company whose online presence no longer reflects the business it has become. | from R190 000 |
| Premium Corporate WebsiteMost engagements | The full engagement — repositioning carried through to a corporate website designed for your company alone. | R240 000–R440 000 |
| Institutional & Regulated | For financial, legal and other regulated businesses, where what is published must stand up to scrutiny. | R360 000–R640 000+ |
| Complex Digital Platform | When the site is a product: portals, applications and the systems behind them. | from R560 000 |

Retainers
After launch, the work continues under a monthly retainer — sized to how active a role the studio takes, and scoped by agreement.
| Retainer | What it holds | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Stewardship | An improvement cycle every month, reported · Search and AI-answer visibility, kept current · An article or guide each month, with Editorial · Hosting and security on your own domain | R20 000–R30 000/mo |
| Digital AuthorityRecommended | An improvement cycle every fortnight or every week · Editorial written and published every month · Google Business Profile kept current · Competitor movement watched, on the weekly plan | R50 000–R80 000/mo |

How we price
A fixed fee, agreed before work starts.
Every engagement is scoped by the senior people who will deliver it, then agreed as a fixed fee before any work begins. There is no hourly meter and no change-order culture: the fee reflects the judgement and the outcome, not the hours consumed. If the scope genuinely changes, the fee is re-agreed openly — never discovered on an invoice.
All fees in ZAR, VAT included. Billed by 8t20 Capital (Pty) Ltd (t/a Bright10). Clients on earlier agreements keep the terms they signed.
Who you work with
A partner at marketing and digital leadership level.
Positioning, brand and technology are decided by someone who has run them at group level — and delivered with AI leverage a conventional agency's headcount can't match. You deal with the principal from the first conversation to launch, and after it.
If you're serious, we'll build before you pay.
Ask for a working preview — a real version of how your company could present, reviewed with you before the engagement is scoped.
