The Content Studio
Social media management, minus the management.
The quiet truth of agency retainers: most of the fee pays for admin — scheduling, meetings, reporting decks. The part that grows your business is the content. So that's what we sell: studio-grade video and posts, delivered ready to publish, scheduling handled by software. From A$1,490/mo. Month-to-month, ex GST.
(01) What it costs
What social media management costs in Australia.
A typical Australian agency retainer runs $1,000 to $3,500 a month per brand — and when you break down what that fee buys, most of it is admin: scheduling tools, status meetings, reporting decks. The Content Studio starts at A$1,490 a month for 12 production pieces: real video, real imagery, ready to run. Every price is on this page, in AUD ex GST. No 'contact us for pricing'.
(02) The pivot
Software posts. People create.
We stopped selling management because software does that part better than a retainer ever did. Every approved piece is loaded into your content calendar and published on schedule by WeMonetise OS — included with every plan — with a monthly performance snapshot from the same system. Your fee buys creation: scripts, direction, production and QC. Not admin.
(03) What the studio makes
Four formats. One retainer. Cheaper per piece as you grow.
UGC-style video, product video, brand imagery and designed posts — scripted, captioned and cut for every format (9:16, 1:1, 4:5). Twelve pieces a month — 4 videos + 8 stills — is A$1,490. Twenty pieces, adding product video and an ad-variant pack per video, is A$2,190. Thirty — with a 48-hour priority lane and a monthly strategy call — is A$2,990, and 40 pieces with dedicated creative direction is A$3,690. The rate per piece falls as volume rises: $124 at 12, down to $92 at 40 — and a video costs the same as a still. Swap any video for two stills, any month.
(04) Your ads, your rights
Everything we make is yours to run as ads.
Hire a UGC creator and the video costs $300–$600 — then 30–50% again for the right to run it as an ad, on a licence that expires. Every Content Studio piece ships with full paid-usage rights included: no usage licences, no 30-day renewals, no invoice when the ad works. Want the campaigns run too? Our Google Ads management starts at A$890/mo flat — same partner makes the creative and manages the campaigns.
(05) No lock-in
Month-to-month, no lock-in. Sydney-based, Australia-wide.
We're a Sydney agency working with small businesses Australia-wide. Every plan is month-to-month — if we're not earning our fee, you leave. Every price is public, and the price you see is the price you pay. Send an enquiry and we'll organise the rest.
(06) Questions
Asked often.
How much does social media management cost in Australia?
Most Australian agencies charge $1,000 to $3,500 a month per brand — and much of that fee pays for admin: scheduling, meetings, reporting decks. We sell the part that grows your business: the Content Studio starts at A$1,490 a month for 12 production pieces — 4 UGC-style videos and 8 stills — up to A$3,690 for 40 pieces. All prices AUD ex GST.
Do you still offer social media management?
We sell what those retainers were really selling — the content. Posting and scheduling is handled by software (WeMonetise OS, included with every plan). What we don't sell is human channel admin: community management, comment and DM replies, or follower-growth tactics.
Who posts the content?
Software does — and it's included. Every approved piece is loaded into your content calendar and published on schedule by WeMonetise OS, with a monthly performance snapshot from the same system.
Is the content made with AI?
AI-produced, human-directed, honestly labelled. Strategy, scripts, brand voice, art direction and QC are human; production runs on our AI stack — which is why a video costs the same as a still. We never pass AI presenters off as real customers or genuine testimonials, and platform AI-disclosure rules are handled in delivery.
Can I run the content as ads?
Yes — every piece ships with full paid-usage rights included. Human UGC creators typically charge 30–50% extra just for ad usage; ours is cleared from day one. If you want the campaigns run too, that's our Google Ads management from A$990 a month.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Every Content Studio plan is month-to-month and you can cancel whenever you like. We'd rather earn your business every month than hold it with a contract.
