Ongoing digital support for small nonprofits and growing businesses who need ongoing support without hiring a full in-house team. 

Hi, I'm Deorrah.

Your strategic partner in branding, marketing, and social media.

Connecting the Dots Branding provides hands-on marketing and social media support for nonprofits, small businesses, and mission-driven organizations that need help—but don’t need (or want) a full in-house team.  I  can help you stay consistent online — without adding to your already full plates.

​

The problem usually isn’t effort.

​

It’s capacity.

​

  • Promotion happens last-minute.

  • Social media goes quiet when things get busy.

  • Your events and campaigns don’t get the runway they deserve.​

  • Digital communication becomes reactive instead of planned.

​

That’s where I step in - bringing structure, clarity and follow-through.

Services

I work with a small number of clients at a time to provide flexible, reliable support that meets you where you are.

​Social Media Management

Content planning, captions, posting, and thoughtful adjustments — handled consistently.

​

Graphics & Digital Assets

Social graphics, campaign visuals, event promotion materials, and digital flyers.

​

Campaign & Content Planning

Planning ahead so launches, programs, and events aren’t rushed.

​

Ongoing Collaboration

Regular communication so your marketing reflects what’s actually happening inside your organization.​

​

Most clients work with Connecting the Dots Studio on a monthly retainer, which allows for consistent support, flexibility, and long-term impact—without the cost of hiring in-house staff.

Retainers are customized based on your needs, goals, and capacity, and typically include a mix of strategy, execution, and creative support. Click here to learn more about monthly retainers.

Retainers

Monthly Retainers

Marketing works best when it’s structured, visible, and consistent — not last-minute.

​​

I offer three levels of ongoing retainer support designed to meet organizations at different stages of growth and capacity.

Tier 1 – Foundational Support

For teams who need steady, professional social media and digital content support within their existing audience.

​

Includes consistent content planning, platform-ready graphics, structured posting guidance, and promotional rhythm to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

​

Tier 2 – Strategic Visibility Support

For organizations ready to expand reach and create a more coordinated, multi-platform presence.

​

Includes everything in Tier 1, plus deeper campaign structure, expanded promotional touchpoints, drafted messaging, and increased visibility across platforms.

​

Tier 3 – Full Campaign & Implementation Support

For leaders who want hands-on execution and expanded audience reach.

​

Includes everything in Tier 1 and Tier 2, plus content drafting and scheduling, campaign-level promotion, and strategic guidance for expanded visibility efforts.

​

Investment

Monthly retainers typically range from:

$500 – $2,500+ per month

​

Investment depends on:

  • Scope of services selected

  • Number of platforms supported

  • Volume of content and graphics

  • Level of strategic involvement and collaboration

​

Every partnership is customized based on your goals and capacity.

If you’re unsure which tier fits, we’ll talk through your needs and determine the right level of support together.

Finally, let's address the elephant in the room.

You might be wondering, "Can't I just use AI for this?"

​

​Yes, it's true.  AI can generate information in seconds. 

It can make suggestions.
It can even sound strategic.

​

But it doesn't know you. ​

It can't collaborate. 

It can't notice when something feels slightly off-brand or off-timing.

​

AI produces content.

I provide consistency, context, follow-through, and relief.

​

I use technology thoughtfully and when it makes sense - it's a useful part of our world now.

But your marketing deserves more than auto-generated words and crossed fingers.

 

It deserves a marketing and communications expert who understands the bigger picture - and actually responds to your emails.

Working with Connecting the Dots Branding has been one of the best business decisions I’ve made. Deorrah Hardy has created five stunning websites for me, and each one was delivered with care, creativity and strong attention to detail. She is reliable, ethical and incredibly talented, and her customer service is truly exceptional. Deorrah doesn’t just ‘build a site’ – she listens, asks the right questions and translates your vision into something polished and professional. AI can produce content, but it cannot match the insight, strategy and human support Deorrah provides every step of the way.
