Things to Consider

—Moderate team size may limit capacity if you need to scale quickly across multiple channels simultaneously

—Hourly rates at $200-300/hr place them among higher-cost options, which may be prohibitive for smaller budgets

—Minimum project commitment of $25K+ may not work for companies testing the waters with a small pilot project

—Wide service menu risks spreading capabilities thin; clients with complex requirements should verify depth of expertise in their specific need
