Ready, Set, Go!
Is your business ready for it’s time in the limelight? Here are the easy steps to working with The Side Hustle.
01
Book a Discovery Call
We write a custom proposal for every project and retainer. No two businesses are the same, so book a call and let us know how we can help.
02
Research and Design
After you’ve signed a contract, we’ll get you set up with some research templates and design options so we can start building your new site, branding assets or ad campaigns. Let us do the heavy lifting.
03
Learning and Launch
Before we launch a new site, set a campaign live or send something to print, we’ll send it over for review. You’ll also receive documentation, recorded calls for your records, and support after launch. You have control over all your accounts.
Meet the Team
An advantage to working with us is we’re a small team and only work with a few clients at a time. Victoria works behind the scenes to keep us organized, Michelle is our Project Manager, and Amy leads design and strategy.
Love notes
We work with the best clients and they’ve said some really nice things about our work.
Le Man and Anthony
Lemons and Ants Studios
We’ve been working with The Side Hustle in multiple capacities for the last two years and they’ve never disappointed. They run our Google ads, redesigned our website and run our email campaigns. They are always thorough and really take the time to ensure we understand everything going on with our Google ads. With both our website design and now our email campaigns, they always strike the perfect balance of aesthetically pleasing yet practical layouts to get the results that we want.
“We find ourselves always recommending them to other businesses as we love what they have done for us. On top of that, we love them as people and are so grateful to have found them.”
