You will work with us every week. Here is what that looks like.
You may not sign the agreement, but you are the one who lives with the agency. CESSON is built to make an in-house marketing team stronger: senior backup, specialist hands and training, with your brand, your accounts and your data staying where they belong.
What you can expect from us
You stay in charge of the brand
We work to your plan, or build one with you. Nothing goes out in your company’s name without your approval.
Extra hands where you are short
SEO, AI search, content and social media, paid advertising, web development, CRM and email, analytics, and print when you need it. Use the ones your team lacks and keep the rest in house. See all eight services.
Training, so your team can run it
We would rather teach than create dependency. Baillie Lumber’s marketing team, trained by CESSON, now handles its own website updates, content changes and SEO implementations.
Your accounts, your data, all of it
Everything is built in accounts your company owns, with no proprietary dashboard. Your CEO gets a one-page summary in plain words; you get the full detail behind it whenever you want it.
The tools you already use
We would rather work in what you already pay for than add a subscription. The full list is below.
A direct line, with no meter running
We don’t bill by the hour. Call, text or email as often as you need to. We answer within half a business day, and there is a status meeting every month.
Help making the case upstairs
The monthly report turns your team’s work into leads and revenue your CEO can read in five minutes. Good work should be visible.
A straight conversation
Thirty minutes about your team, your plan and where you are short. You leave with a recommendation either way.
Access and a shared plan
You give us access to analytics, ad accounts, the CRM and the website. Together we agree who does what, who approves what, and what the first 90 days should produce.
A monthly rhythm
A status meeting and a report every month, and a direct line in between. At 90 days we sit down with the plan from month one and check the work against it.
Each platform needs a minimum rhythm before an account grows, and we post at that rhythm, up to six times a week. For content authority the rule is the opposite: fewer, longer, better pieces. One reel we made for The Music Oasis passed 1 million views on Instagram.

Yours first. These are the ones we know best.
We would rather use what you already pay for than add a subscription. Where we resell software, we resell it at cost.

Working with CESSON is an amazing experience from start to finish. I reached out to them after we had a bad experience with another developer who left our company website in shambles. CESSON was easily able to pick up the pieces and help my team develop a new website. (…) What I really liked about the website development process was that we had monthly meetings where the CESSON team would give us a status update and address any questions, comments, or concerns we had. It was a great way for all of us to stay on the same page and push us toward the finish line of launching our new website. The entire team at Pilot is very proud to show off our new website and we would highly recommend CESSON to anyone looking to improve their online presence in a major way!
From website design and management to ideas on how to get the most out of your social media programs, any business can benefit from CESSON’s services.
Our experience with CESSON has been phenomenal! Their team is engaged and current, and they create amazing content. Our social media profile has been taken to a new level and has greatly enhanced our business. Thank you, CESSON!!

Before you book
- At the center. Our longest client relationships are with companies that have a marketing director, and that person is who we work with every week. We add capacity and senior backup around what your team already does well.
- A named member of the CESSON team who runs your account, and the specialists doing the work. You will know them by name. Philippe Cesson sets the strategy and reviews and directs the work.
- Within half a business day.
- Yes. The one-page report is written for your CEO. The analytics, ad accounts and CRM behind it are yours, and we walk through the detail with you whenever you want.
- Yes. Tell us what your team does well and has time for, and the engagement is scoped around the rest. It changes as your team changes.
- We prefer to build with no page builder, so your team can edit a page by typing in it. But we can work in anything you already have.
- Send them the page for midsize companies or the page for $1–10M companies, and the pricing page, where the fee and the terms are printed. Or bring them to the first call.
- Engagements start at $3,500 a month, and most run between $4,000 and $6,000, depending on the mix of services and how much your team takes on. One flat fee. No setup fee. Six months to start, with a checkpoint at 90 days, then month-to-month on 30 days’ written notice.
Let’s talk about your business.
Thirty minutes with Philippe. You’ll leave with a straight recommendation, even if it’s not us.
