What monthly content management can cost
Monthly content management can range from near zero to several thousand dollars per month depending on how much support a business needs. A business that handles everything internally may spend very little directly — but often pays in time. A business working with a full-service agency on strategy, filming, ads, branding, and reporting may invest $1,000 to several thousand dollars per month.
Pulse Managed sits between those two options. It is designed for businesses that can provide content or direction, but need help turning that content into polished posts every month — at a price that makes sense for a monthly content system.
Pulse Managed founding beta starts at $500/month. This is a defined package with clear deliverables, not a custom quote. Standard pricing is expected to increase after the beta period.

What affects the cost of monthly content management
Every business has different content needs. These are the factors that tend to move the price up or down — and how Pulse Managed addresses each one.
01
Amount of content. The more videos, graphics, posts, stories, or platform versions needed, the more time and production support is required. Pulse Managed uses a defined monthly package to keep this predictable.
02
Content capture. If the client provides raw footage, photos, notes, or ideas, the cost can stay lower. If the agency needs to film and produce content from scratch, the cost is usually higher. Pulse Managed is built around client-provided inputs.
03
Editing complexity. Simple short-form edits cost less than advanced video production, motion graphics, heavy revisions, or multiple versions of the same piece. Pulse Managed covers standard short-form editing within the monthly package.
04
Graphic design needs. A few branded graphics per month cost less than full campaigns, large carousel sets, or advanced design systems. Pulse Managed includes 4 branded graphics or posts each month.
05
Caption writing and scheduling. Writing captions, preparing posts, and scheduling content saves the client significant time and keeps the month organized. Captions and scheduling support are included in Pulse Managed.
06
Strategy and management level. A defined monthly content workflow costs less than a fully custom strategy, campaign planning, advertising management, and ongoing consulting. Pulse Managed gives clients monthly content direction without the full-service price tag.
07
Revisions and turnaround. More revisions, rush timelines, or last-minute changes usually increase cost. Pulse Managed includes one revision round per content piece to keep the workflow predictable.
What does $500/month include?
The founding Pulse Managed beta includes 7 content pieces per month — plus the full workflow that supports them. This is not just editing. It is a repeatable monthly content system.
3 short-form video edits
4 branded graphics/posts
Captions for all posts
Scheduling support
Monthly content direction
Monthly content plan
Client upload portal
Approval workflow

Why Pulse Managed costs less than full-service marketing
Pulse Managed is more accessible because the client provides the raw materials — footage, photos, notes, promotions, or direction. Creativision manages the editing, graphics, captions, scheduling, and workflow on top of those inputs.
Full-service marketing typically costs more because it includes more of the foundational work: strategy, filming, creative direction, campaign planning, advertising, branding, website development, and broader account management. When Creativision is responsible for more of the process from the ground up, the investment reflects that.
Pulse Managed keeps the scope focused so the monthly price stays predictable. Read the full Pulse Managed vs. full-service comparison to see where each one fits.
When full-service marketing makes more sense
Full-service marketing may be the better investment if:
- You need Creativision to film content for you
- You need a larger monthly content volume than the Pulse package covers
- You need paid advertising management
- You need branding, website, or campaign support
- You do not have anyone internally who can capture content
- You want a more hands-on agency partnership across all marketing channels

The real value of a managed content system
Most businesses do not struggle because they have no ideas. They struggle because the workflow takes time. Planning, editing, designing graphics, writing captions, getting approvals, and scheduling posts usually get pushed aside while the team focuses on running the business.
The value of Pulse Managed is not only the number of posts delivered. It is the consistency, organization, and time saved every month. A system that runs predictably is worth more than a burst of content that goes quiet the following month.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Pulse Managed cost?
The founding Pulse Managed beta starts at $500/month. Standard pricing is expected to increase after the beta period ends. Spots are limited during the founding beta.
What is included in the $500/month founding beta?
The founding package includes 3 short-form video edits, 4 branded graphics/posts, captions for all posts, scheduling support, monthly content direction, access to the Pulse portal, Pulse AI support, and 1 revision round per content piece. See the
full inclusions breakdown for details.
Is Pulse Managed cheaper than full-service marketing?
Yes, Pulse Managed is typically more accessible because the client provides the raw content, footage, notes, ideas, or direction. Full-service marketing usually costs more because it can include filming, broader strategy, advertising, branding, website work, and custom execution.
Why does full-service marketing cost more?
Full-service marketing requires more hands-on work: strategy, creative direction, filming, campaign planning, advertising management, reporting, and broader execution. Pulse Managed keeps the scope focused on monthly content management, which is why the price stays more accessible.
Are there setup fees?
Any setup or onboarding details are discussed before starting. If applicable, they are communicated upfront so there are no surprises.
Contact Creativision with any questions about getting started.
Can I add more content to Pulse Managed?
Yes. Add-ons are available for extra reel edits ($100 each), extra branded graphics ($50 each), Story Packs ($97), and Google Review Support ($50/month). Add-on requests are submitted through the Pulse portal.
What if I do not use all my content pieces in a month?
Pulse Managed is built around a monthly workflow. Unused pieces may not automatically carry over. The best results come from submitting content direction early and staying responsive during the approval process. See
how the monthly workflow runs for more detail.
Do I need to pay for Pulse AI separately?
No. Pulse AI access is included as part of the Pulse Managed workflow at no additional cost.
Does the price include filming?
No. Pulse Managed does not include on-site filming. Clients provide footage, photos, notes, ideas, or direction. If your business needs Creativision to film content, a
full-service package may be a better fit.
Is Pulse Managed a good fit for a small business?
Yes. Pulse Managed is designed for businesses that want consistent monthly content but may not be ready for a larger full-service marketing package. It gives small businesses a clear, predictable content system without the overhead of a full agency retainer.
