Strategic Investment Tiers
Finding Your Perfect Playbook Tier for Real Impact
Choosing the right Playbook tier is about setting yourself up for real cultural influence and making a significant mark in the market. Your chosen tier needs to genuinely fit with your program budget and the big goals you have in mind. As you move up to higher Playbook tiers, you'll gain access to unique opportunities, more sophisticated strategies, and deeper partnerships that truly help your brand reach its incredible potential.
Here's the key distinction, and it's an important one: your Playbook tier defines the strategic foundation of our work together and how deeply we can partner. Think of it as the roadmap. The Investment Tiers (which you'll see detailed below) are simply how we transparently outline the actual financial commitment for executing your programs, covering things like production fees and how we effectively use your [HB]Points.
A little guidance: If you're ready to run a $500K program - whether a single partnership or multiple across the year, the Foundation Playbook is your ideal starting point. It sets you up for success. But if you're budgeting for $2M+ and want to genuinely lead your market, the Leader Playbook provides the strategic insights and executive-level consulting you'll need to navigate complex cultural landscapes and truly win big.
Every successful program starts with your [HB]Intake ($2.5k) and Playbook Mapping ($5k+) – these are essential steps to custom-build your strategy. Your [HB]Radar subscription is then integrated so you always have access to emerging partnership opportunities. You activate your vision with Points (where 1 Point = $1,000). How do the investments work? Points cover our [HB]Box core programs and our expert guidance, while cash is used for production and talent costs. The insights from your [HB]Playbook will guide the best financial allocation. Here’s how your programs can scale with your budget:

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the [HB]Playbook mandatory?
A: Yes. The [HB]Playbook is your strategic blueprint and foundation for success. Begin with an Intake Questionnaire or Discovery consultation; see Investment Tiers for details. Points then drive execution and upgrades.
Q: Is [HB]Radar mandatory for opportunities and placements?
A: Yes. [HB]Radar tracks the entertainment landscape, identifies opportunities, and connects your brand with projects for potential placements.
Q: Points vs. Cash Payments?
A: Cash covers [HB]Playbook and Radar subscriptions, plus external costs. Points fund our services, strategy, and execution, including Playbook upgrades and Radar renewals.
Q: Expected results timeline?
A: With [HB]Radar, opportunities emerge within 30 days of Playbook completion. On-screen placements typically manifest in 9-18 months for TV and 12-24 months for films. High-impact campaigns ([HB]Access, Produce, Amplify) launch within 60-90 days.
Q: Can we start small and scale up our commitment?
A: Absolutely. Strategic growth is built into our model. Start with a minimal commitment, such as our Discovery Program with your basics included for a 3 month campaign:
[HB]Intake, [HB]Mapping and Discovery level [HB]Playbook and [HB]Radar.

Or start at the appropriate higher level for your brand, and receive more bonus [HB]Points to apply to your program for savings and value. Scale to a new level when ready. (Discovery → Foundation → Growth → Leader → Star → Icon) by using your Points.
Q: What if an opportunity doesn't materialize?
A: We stand behind our partnerships. If an opportunity doesn't deliver the expected results, we pivot our strategy and find alternative solutions until we achieve your goals. Your success is our success.
Q: What is the typical investment range?
A: Full campaigns typically start at $30,000, with investment ranges extending up to $30,000,000+ (with co-branded media). There are no predefined limits, as we work with your budget during the [HB]Playbook process to align strategies with your financial parameters. For brands with smaller budgets, our Discovery Program serves as an accessible entry point to begin your journey and scale up your commitment as you grow.

If you have a specific budget in mind, we can build to that. That's how our most successful brand partners operate: they name their budget and we build to it.
