Free marketing consultation in Houston, starting with what is not working.
A free marketing consultation in Houston with us is a conversation, not a pitch. Say what is going wrong and we will tell you what we would do about it, including the parts we would not charge you for and the work you do not need yet.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Central. Open right now. We will pick up. Closed right now. Send it anyway and it is answered first thing.
- Send us the detailsTwo minutes, and it reaches the right person the first time
- +1 281 777 0224Call if it is easier to say out loud than to type
- hello@social-philosophy.comForward a thread, attach a brief, send a link
Tell us roughly what this is about, and the form fills itself in.
Pick one and you will see what we would look at first, before anybody talks about money. Your choice is carried down into the message below, so the enquiry that reaches a Houston marketing agency already says what it is about.
Pick the one that sounds most like you
You will get a straight answer about what we would look at first, and a link to the detail if you want it. Nothing is sent anywhere until you fill in the form yourself.
- Every service we offer, and one of them is not sure yet
- Whatever you pick is carried down into the form
- You can change your mind as many times as you like

Social media, run properly
Channels run end to end and planned a month at a time, rather than posted whenever somebody remembers.
- Which channels are worth your time and which are not
- What gets posted, and who signs it off
- How often is realistic for a business your size
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
Getting found on Google
We look at what you rank for now before promising anything, because that is what decides whether this is a short job or a long one.
- What people in your trade actually type into Google
- What is already working that we should leave alone
- Whether the site can rank at all in the shape it is in
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
Ads that bring enquiries
Google, Meta and TikTok. You pay the platforms directly and we run the campaigns, so the ad spend is never marked up on its way to you.
- Which platform suits what you sell, and which to skip
- What you can learn before spending real money
- What counts as a result, agreed before anything runs
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
Branding and visual identity
The decisions that come before a logo. What the business stands for, who it is talking to, and how it should look and sound everywhere it turns up.
- Whether this is a rebrand or a first brand
- What has to be settled before anyone draws anything
- What you are handed at the end, and in which formats
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
Graphic design, ongoing
The steady stream of design a working business actually gets through, run as a subscription rather than quoted job by job.
- How much design you really need in a month
- What is worth templating so you stop asking for it
- Turnaround you can plan a launch around
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
Photo and video production
Shot here in Houston, and planned so that one visit produces more than one post.
- Whether you need a shoot or only the editing
- How much usable content one session honestly gives you
- What we do not shoot, said before you book
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
Video editing
You film it, we make it ready to post. Send footage from a phone or a camera and finished videos come back.
- What you can film yourself and still look professional
- Captions, colour and licensed music
- How the batches work, and what arrives when
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
A website, new or rebuilt
The first question we ask is what the site is for. One clear action, then the structure that gets people to it.
- Whether to rebuild or repair what you already have
- What the site has to do before it looks like anything
- Who holds the domain, the hosting and the logins at the end
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
App development
For when the job is bigger than a website, and people need to log in, save something, and come back to it later.
- Whether it genuinely needs to be an app
- What the first version has to do, and nothing more
- What it costs to keep running after it launches
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
Not sure yet
The most common answer, and a perfectly reasonable one. Plenty of people know something is not working without knowing which part of it is.
- Tell us what you have tried already and what happened
- We will say which one thing we would fix first
- If the answer is that you do not need us yet, we will say that
Carried into the form below, so you do not type it twice
The more you tell us now, the more useful the first reply is.
None of this is a qualifying form and nobody is scoring you. It is the same handful of things we would ask on a call, so that the first answer you get from us is about your business rather than a request for more information.
- We do not sell or share your details
- No mailing list unless you tick the box
- A real reply, not an autoresponder
What people ask before a free marketing consultation in Houston.
No forms to fill in for these. If something below is still unclear after reading it, that itself is worth telling us in the message.
How fast will I hear back?
Within one business day. We answer everything that comes through this form during opening hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Central. Send it at the weekend and it is answered on Monday.
What happens after I send it?
You get an email from a person asking what time suits you, and then we talk on Teams or Google Meet. That is the whole process.
No automated sequence, no being passed along, and nobody calls you out of the blue unless you ask us to.
Is there a minimum budget?
No. We take small jobs. A single logo, one month of video editing, one page rebuilt. If that is what you need, it is real work and we will quote it properly.
The reverse holds too. If we think you do not need us yet, we will say so rather than sell you something.
Do you only work with businesses in Houston?
No. Houston, Texas is where we sit, not where the work stops. We take on clients right across the United States, and we have finished website projects in New Zealand, India, Australia and elsewhere.
Everything except photo and video production runs the same wherever you are. Shooting is the exception, because somebody has to be in the room, so travel affects the price. We tell you that before you commit to anything, not after.
Do I need to know what I want first?
No, and most people do not. Something is not working and I am not sure which part is a perfectly good opening line.
Tell us what you have already tried and what happened. That is usually enough for us to name the one thing we would fix first.
Is the first conversation really free?
Yes, and nothing is attached to it. You are not signing up to a proposal, a follow up sequence or a trial by having one.
Worst case, you spend half an hour and leave with an honest opinion about what is going wrong.
