We begin by clarifying direction and priorities. From there, we assess your current state, identify what’s holding you back, and work together to build a clear roadmap. Once direction is set, we focus effort where it will have the biggest impact.
This might include:
fixing structural or internal process issues that are creating friction
improving how your website, content, or systems support your work
designing or simplifying marketing and communication workflows
supporting your team during a campaign launch, season, or transition
We offer ongoing support for strategic guidance, practical coaching, and hands-on implementation, as well as workshop design and facilitation for groups.
Find guidance on a specific question or situation
The Focus Session is a working conversation designed to help you think through a specific question, challenge, or decision.
This is a good fit when you:
are stuck on a particular choice
need a sounding board before committing time or resources
want an outside perspective on a critical issue
The session includes:
a brief written intake to understand context
a 60–90 minute working conversation
a short set of written notes summarizing key takeaways or next steps
This focused intervention is designed to help you move forward with greater confidence.
Pricing: starting at $499
Clarify priorities and focus effort
When work demands feel overwhelming, or ideas and opportunities are pulling your team in too many directions, it’s a signal to step back, take stock, and sharpen direction.
This work includes:
clarifying where you are now, where you want to be, and what’s standing in the way
exploring how existing systems, communications, and workflows support or hinder your work
identifying the critical decisions and priorities that will have the greatest impact right now
The outcome is a clear, practical picture of where to focus — including what deserves attention now, what can be simplified, and what can be set aside for later.
Pricing: typically $3,000–$6,000, depending on scope
Apply effort where it will matter most
When priorities are clear, we move into focused implementation work designed to address specific needs — so you can take action without overextending your team or adding unnecessary complexity.
This work might include:
improving how your website, content, or systems support your goals
simplifying or redesigning internal workflows
setting up or refining marketing and communication processes
supporting a specific campaign, season, or organizational transition
Each engagement is clearly scoped in advance, with a defined focus and timeframe.
The goal is progress you can feel — without taking on more than is realistic.
Pricing: from $5,000, scoped based on need
When the underlying structure is part of the problem
Sometimes the issue isn’t clarity or strategy — it’s structure.
This work focuses on fixing foundational issues that create friction for your team, particularly across websites and the digital systems that support communication, marketing, and service delivery.
Structural work may include:
reviewing and improving website structure, content organization, and related workflows
designing clearer editorial and content workflows
identifying opportunities to streamline processes through automation or better tool use
aligning digital systems with how your organization actually operates
This is practical, structural work meant to make ongoing communication and maintenance easier, clearer, and more sustainable.
Pricing: from $5,000, scoped based on complexity and need
Continuity, without constant resets
Some organizations benefit from having a steady external partner who understands their context and can provide continuity over time.
Ongoing support may include:
strategic guidance and check-ins
practical coaching and problem-solving
light implementation support as priorities evolve
This option works well for organizations with ongoing programming, recurring campaigns, or periods of sustained change.
The structure is flexible, but always intentional — designed to support momentum without creating dependency.
Pricing: starting at $2,000/month for organizations
Ongoing guidance for independent artists
We also offer a limited ongoing support option for independent artists who want steady guidance without a full consulting engagement.
This support is advisory in nature and may include:
monthly check-ins
guidance on priorities, planning, and decision-making
feedback on ideas, releases, or opportunities
This option does not include hands-on implementation.
Pricing: $500/month

Troubadours & Vagabonds Productions is based in the Greater Montreal area. We work remotely with clients across Canada and in local community projects in and around Hudson, Quebec.
We acknowledge that we live on unceded Indigenous land. The Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation is recognized as the traditional custodian of the lands and waters of Tiohtià:ke (Montreal), which has long served as a place for many First Nations to live, meet and exchange. We also wish to recognize the strong ties that unite the Anishinaabe Nation to this territory, which is known by these people as Mooniyang (in Anishinaabemowin). Today, the Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang lands are home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other people. We respect the continued connections to the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community and beyond.
