Project-based marketing for the trades · No retainer · No runaround
The right work,
done right,
when you need it.
You don't need a full-time marketing department. You need the right support for the right job. b38 digital coordinates your marketing projects from start to finish so you can stay focused on the work that actually pays.
No retainer required · No lock-in · You own everything
What this is
Your marketing gets done. You keep running your business.
Think of b38 like your general contractor for marketing. You don't need to know who to call, how to brief them, or how to keep everything on track. You just need the result, and you need someone who actually knows the trades industry.
Every project is scoped, coordinated, and delivered. When the job's done, everything stays with you: every file, every account, every asset. No dependency, no runaround.
Tell us what you're working on. We figure out exactly what it takes and give you a clear quote before anything moves.
b38 coordinates the project from brief to delivery. You're kept in the loop without being buried in it.
Every file, account, and asset is yours the moment the project closes. No black boxes, no data held hostage.
Next campaign. Next season. Next project. No retainer keeping the clock running when there's nothing to build.

Why b38
Built different. On purpose.
This isn't a retainer that keeps billing while nothing moves. It's a working relationship built around what your business actually needs, right now.
No retainer required
Marketing isn't always-on, so your billing doesn't have to be either. You engage when you have a project and step back when you don't. No guilt, no hidden fees.
You own everything, always
Every asset, account, file, and login is yours from day one. If we ever part ways, nothing walks out the door with us. Your business stays yours.
Trades industry fluency
HVAC, duct cleaning, plumbing, roofing. b38 has been built inside these businesses. You won't spend your time explaining what a slow season looks like.
One direct line, no junior reps
You talk to Cheryl. Not a customer success rep, not a ticketing system. The person coordinating your project is the person picking up your call.
Clear scope before anything starts
Every project starts with a plain-language quote: what's included, what it costs, what you'll have when it's done. No surprises mid-job.
No lock-ins. No black-box reporting. If you don't feel the value within the first 30 days, we'll help you transition your assets to another provider, no questions asked.The b38 Transparency Guarantee
About
Marketing built from inside the trades.
b38 digital came out of years spent working inside trades and service businesses: running ads, managing local search, building campaigns, and learning exactly where marketing dollars get wasted and where they actually move the needle.
My background is in the industry, not just adjacent to it. HVAC, duct cleaning, home services. I know the seasonal pressures, the referral-first culture, and what a trades business owner actually has time to deal with.
b38 was built for the business owner who knows marketing matters but doesn't have time to manage it. You get someone who shows up, does the work, and hands everything back to you when it's done.
Get in touch
Honest pricing
One clear number. No surprises.
Every project is quoted as a single all-in number before anything starts. You know exactly what you're committing to. No itemized vendor invoices landing in your inbox, no scope creep billed after the fact.
How it works
One quote. Everything included.
b38 prices by project, not by the hour. Your quote covers coordination, project management, any third-party work required to deliver the result, revisions, and final asset delivery.
You receive a written quote after the scope call. No work begins until you've confirmed. No surprises mid-project.
Photographers, developers, designers, caterers, printers. If a project needs outside expertise, that cost is in your quote. No separate invoices.
Ad spend goes directly to the platform under your account. b38 coordinates the campaign. The budget is yours to control.
Photos, files, accounts, logins, event documentation. Everything delivered is yours, in full, at close.
When the project closes, the billing closes. There is no fee for staying in the network between projects.
Project sizes
Three sizes. One scope call to find yours.

Company events
Your team showed up all year. The event should show that.
Company events aren't just a party on the calendar. Done right, they're the moment your team feels seen, your best customers feel valued, and your business marks the milestones that actually matter.
b38 handles the coordination so you can be present instead of running logistics. Venue sourcing, vendor management, invitations, catering briefs, photography, day-of flow, and everything in between.
This is different from a home show or trade activation. Marketing events are about reaching new customers. Company events are about the relationships you've already built. Both deserve the same level of care and coordination.
Staff Appreciation
End-of-year dinners, summer BBQs, team lunches. Coordinated so the people running the work feel it.
Customer Appreciation
VIP client evenings and open houses that deepen the relationships keeping your business growing.
Grand Openings
New location, new shop, new chapter. Launch events that make the moment feel like the milestone it is.
Milestone Celebrations
Five years in business. Ten. A major contract landed. Moments worth marking properly.
Team Building
Off-site days, seasonal activities, and structured team experiences that aren't just awkward trust falls.
Venue Coordination
Sourcing, booking, and managing the space so you're not spending three weeks on phone calls.

Every project
What's always included, no matter the size.
These aren't add-ons. They're the baseline of how b38 works on every engagement, marketing or event.
Written project quote
A clear scope document before anything starts. What's included, what it costs, what you'll receive at the end.
Full project coordination
b38 manages the timeline, the brief, the vendors, and the quality check. You stay in the loop without being in the weeds.
One revision round
Built into every project quote. Feedback is expected and accounted for, not a surprise invoice.
Complete asset delivery
Every file, login, photo, and account transferred to you at project close. Nothing retained on our end.
Direct access to Cheryl
The person quoting your project is the person delivering it. Not a rep, not a ticket system.
30-day value guarantee
If you don't feel the value within 30 days of project close, b38 will help you transition everything at no additional cost.
A note on ranges. Every project listed has a range for a reason. A staff appreciation dinner for 20 is a different job than a seated event for 60 with catering, AV, and branded elements. A photography session for one crew and one location is different from a half-day across three job sites.
Ranges are honest starting points. The scope call exists to find out exactly what your job needs so your quote reflects the real cost of doing it right.
