We edit out unnecessary meetings.

How We Work Together

Your work is complex. Working with us is easy.

From Draft To Done

You’ve got enough going on without managing another vendor. Our team brings years of marketing, writing, and real industry experience. We know how to handle the stakeholders, the reviews, and the parts that usually slow everything down.

Our team is available to support you on single projects or with long-term retainers. 

Step one

You start by booking a call with the Borrowed Pen team. Together, we'll review:

  • What's working in your marketing?

  • What's not working?

  • Your goals and budget.

Then we'll dive into your brand and come back with recommendations and a complete Scope of Work.

Step Two

We'll put together a Scope of Work that:

 

  • Clearly explains the work

  • How the work aligns to your goals

  • Key milestones and timelines

  • What you can expect as a result

  • Communication cadence and review process

You will review the scope, ask any questions, and either make edits or sign off.

 

Then we'll send you a Proposal that accurately reflects the agreed-upon scope.

Step THREE

We will send you a Proposal that details:

 

  • Our engagement structure

  • The costs and payment terms

  • The timeline and deliverables

  • Our start date and your deadlines

  • What’s included (and what’s not)

 

You review, ask questions, and sign off to kick off.

Step FOUR

We onboard you quickly so your projects move without unnecessary stops or added confusion:

  • We set up access to tools, files, and systems

  • We gather your brand standards, copy guidelines, and SME inputs

  • We determine the key contacts and schedule communication 

  • We outline constraints (legal, compliance, and internal process)

  • We determine ​priority projects and deliverables

Then we get to work, keeping you updated at every important stage of the process

That’s it. We guarantee No plot twists.

We’ll talk through your goals, what’s getting in the way, and how we’d move it forward. Like “why isn’t everyone doing this?” simple.
