MOMENTUM / YOUR GROWTH PARTNERSHIP

The strategy. The Hive. The accountability.

Bring Joshua in as your fractional CMO, backed by a connected platform and a team to execute. You focus on sales and delivery. We lead the agreed marketing plan.

The Local Digital Buzz Hive team
BY APPLICATION · INITIAL 90 DAYS

A growth partnership starts with fit.

Momentum starts at $10,000/month for an initial 90-day paid engagement. Book a strategy session with Joshua first. We evaluate your goals, working style, communication, decision-making, sales capacity and ability to deliver the offer before accepting the engagement.

Pay monthly

3 × $10,000 = $30,000 across the initial 90 days.

Pay the 90 days upfront

$28,500 once. Save $1,500, or 5%, versus $30,000. Equivalent to $9,500/month for those three months.

This is a paid 90-day engagement, not a free software trial. There is no public Momentum checkout. Accepted clients receive a private agreement and payment instructions. Continuation after the initial period is agreed separately.

Book my Momentum fit session

One $10,000 budget. Your full marketing operation.

Software. Marketing specialists. Project management. Joshua’s leadership. Advertising dollars. All included in the agreed $10,000 monthly budget.

You do not receive separate invoices for those categories. We make decisions inside the budget: what to build, what to promote, where to spend, and what to improve next.

THE MOMENTUM ROI PROMISE

ROI in 90 days. Or we keep working free.

If your Momentum engagement does not achieve the agreed return within 90 days, we continue the work and keep your software and systems active at no additional service cost until it does.

We define the ROI measure, budget, start date, responsibilities, and covered costs in your written agreement. Momentum is $10,000/month inclusive of the marketing team, advertising allocation, leadership and software. The written agreement defines the continuation commitment.

WHAT A FRACTIONAL CMO ACTUALLY DOES

A leader for the whole marketing system.

With sales and marketing experience since the mid-1990s, Joshua leads the choices that shape growth: positioning, offers, audiences, budget allocation, campaign priorities, measurement, and the team needed to execute.

As your fractional CMO, Joshua takes responsibility for leading the agreed marketing strategy with the Hive, data partners, and growth partners. Your sales team owns closing; your operations and support teams own delivery.

You authorize the strategy and budget.

Joshua directs the plan.
The Hive executes the work.
Your team sells and delivers.
Together, we review the numbers.

FIRST COVER THE COST. THEN GROW THE MARGIN.

Build toward marketing that pays for itself.

Our first target is a net-neutral marketing budget: the profit generated by your campaigns, after the cost of delivering those sales, covers your total marketing investment—including advertising, software and our team.

  1. Know your numbers.

    Connect campaign spending to qualified leads, customers and the profit those customers contribute.

  2. Cover the investment.

    Improve the offer, conversion and follow-up until that contribution covers the agreed marketing costs.

  3. Grow the margin.

    Build repeat business and improve customer value, then scale what the numbers support.

This is the goal we work toward, not an automatic outcome. We agree the costs, attribution and measurement period in your strategy plan.

THE FULL MOMENTUM SUITE

What would it take to assemble this separately?

Illustrative monthly planning values, not vendor quotes or guaranteed savings. BuzzPixel is proprietary to Local Digital Buzz; its $1,000 is an internal value allocation. Replace other allowances with your actual quotes and avoid overlapping scopes. Books and podcasts are included within the scheduled production allowance.

This illustration allocates $5,000 of Momentum’s $10,000 budget to media. Match the advertising allocation on both sides before comparing. Marketing-team work, advertising dollars, leadership and software are included in the $10,000 budget; no additional fees for those categories. Production volume, schedule and allocation are agreed before work begins. No automatic claim of unlimited usage or guaranteed editorial placement. Avoid counting overlapping software or services twice when entering your separate supplier costs.

About these planning values

These rounded Local Digital Buzz estimates are not competitor quotes or redeemable credits. The monthly comparison already includes a scheduled production allowance; these values are not added again.

The full suite, working together.

Momentum brings the platform, advanced AI and sales tools, BuzzPixel and data, campaign execution, dedicated project management, authority production, fractional CMO leadership, and the agreed advertising allocation into one plan.

Podcast seasons, book projects, national partnerships, production schedules, and any special usage arrangements are agreed before execution. The team prioritizes work against the strategy rather than promising every deliverable at once.

Clear terms. Confident next steps.

What are my two payment options?

Starter: $97 monthly or $997 annually. Growth: $1,497 quarterly or $5,797 annually. Momentum: $10,000 monthly for the initial 90 days or $28,500 for that quarter paid upfront. Compare the packages and payment choices.

Which package includes the two-week trial?

Starter includes a 14-day software trial on either payment option. Your selected $97 monthly or $997 annual subscription begins after the trial unless canceled. Metered calls, messages and AI usage are separate. Review Starter trial enrollment.

What does the 30-day money-back guarantee cover?

Starter and Growth include a 30-day money-back guarantee on the membership payment. Request your refund through our team within 30 days of your first membership payment. For Starter, that payment follows the 14-day trial. Read the guarantee details and contact options.

Is advertising spend included in Momentum?

Yes. Your agreed Momentum budget includes advertising spend, software, the marketing team, project management and CMO leadership. The strategy determines media allocation and the production schedule. Review Momentum qualification and terms.

Is the Momentum ROI promise a money-back guarantee?

No. Momentum has a separate 90-day ROI commitment: if the agreed return is not achieved, we keep working under the written continuation terms. It requires a strategy session and acceptance; there is no public checkout. Book your strategy session.

Is Starter setup really free?

Yes. Your 14-day Starter software trial includes customized setup, a $5,000 value stated by Local Digital Buzz. We configure your business snapshot, AI agent, reviews, social publishing connections and centralized inbox. You provide the business information, access and approvals needed to complete onboarding. Metered usage is separate.

Can I start with Starter and upgrade later?

Absolutely. Keep the foundation and add support as your business needs it. Request Growth when you want a project manager and team access. Momentum starts with a strategy session, a fit review and an agreed 90-day plan; it is not an automatic upgrade. Explore the growth path and example economics.

How do upgrades and downgrades work?

Contact your team to request a plan change. We confirm the new scope, billing date and any credits or charges before making the change. Before a downgrade, we review workflows, data and features that depend on your current plan so you know what will change. Momentum changes follow your signed engagement terms. Self-service one-click plan changes are not currently available.

Are books and podcasts included in Momentum?

Yes. Book writing and publishing, podcast production and other authority projects are included in your agreed Momentum scope and production schedule, with no separate production fee on top of the agreed budget. We use $15,000 per book project and $6,000 per podcast season as illustrative planning values, not cash credits or market averages. These are not added again to the monthly comparison. Scope, timing, distribution and quantities are agreed before production.
