Bastion Agency

• Pricing model: Custom-quoted agency engagements, most consistently evidenced as monthly retainer work for ongoing PR/marketing services, with project-based work also available. Third-party directory data also shows an hourly-rate framing for some engagements.
• Starting price: $5,000+ project minimum
• Typical range: $5,500-$10,000 / month
• Billing: Primarily monthly retainer for ongoing PR/marketing engagements; also supports custom project-based scopes. Directory listings additionally report an average hourly rate of $150-$199/hr (Clutch) and $220/hr (DesignRush), but those are rate bands/estimates rather than a direct published Bastion price card.

I did not find a public Bastion-owned pricing page with fixed packages or published fees on bastionagency.com; the agency appears to sell via custom quotes and integrated scopes. Concrete figures do exist on reputable third-party directories: Clutch lists a $5,000+ minimum project size, an average hourly rate of $150-$199/hr, and summarizes verified client review spend as roughly $5,500-$10,000 monthly, with some total engagements reaching up to $1,000,000. The Manifest corroborates the $5,000+ entry point, while DesignRush lists a higher directory-estimated average hourly rate of $220/hr and a minimal budget of $10,000-$25,000; those directory figures should be treated as marketplace/profile estimates rather than agency-published list pricing.

Bastion Agency appears to run engagements as a collaborative, research-led marketing/PR partnership: they first learn the client’s business or mission, then build strategy and calendars or campaign plans, produce and place content/media, and maintain close communication with client approvals and recurring reporting. The strongest evidence comes from Clutch reviews, supported by Bastion’s own descriptions of an integrated, human-centered, research-driven model.

1. 1

   Align on business, mission, and goals

   Engagements begin with Bastion learning the client’s business, culture, mission, and objectives. Reviewers say the team gets to know the business well, and one client specifically advised spending time in initial meetings so Bastion can represent the company accurately.

2. 2

   Audit the brand and research the market

   Before planning, Bastion gathers context through research. In reviewed work, this included a full business audit, quantitative and qualitative research, and industry/market analysis to understand where the brand stands and improve messaging; Bastion also describes its approach as human-centered and focused on understanding customer attitudes and journeys.

3. 3

   Build the strategy and working plan

   After discovery and research, Bastion turns findings into a practical strategy. Evidence shows this can include digital marketing strategy, outreach strategy, content/editorial direction, media planning, and coordinated content or social calendars tailored to the client’s goals.

4. 4

   Create assets and draft content for review

   Bastion then produces the actual deliverables needed for the program, such as press releases, promotional videos, logos/branding, websites, blog posts, editorial pieces, and social content. Clients describe Bastion creating and coordinating content calendars and submitting pieces for client review, edits, and approval before posting or publication.

5. 5

   Execute outreach and launch across channels

   Once approved, Bastion delivers the work through active execution: media outreach, PR placement, interview support, social posting, digital campaigns, and sometimes broader integrated rollout across PR, creative, digital, and social teams. Reviews mention Bastion securing placements, preparing clients for interviews, and coordinating execution across teams and geographies.

6. 6

   Stay in close contact and manage the work actively

   During delivery, Bastion keeps communication open through channels like email, phone, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. Reviewers repeatedly describe the team as responsive, organized, proactive, and timely, with ongoing communication and regular check-ins to keep everyone aligned.

7. 7

   Report results and refine next actions

   Bastion appears to close the loop with recurring reporting and plan resets. One client explicitly described monthly reports on media placements that were used to re-center future plans, while other reviews emphasize accountability, visibility into progress, and adapting based on feedback and results.
