How we work together

A specific project. Or a team for the long run.

A focused project

A research brief, a production shoot, a campaign launch, or a website. We agree on the deliverables, timeline, and handoff before starting. You don't need an ongoing contract to work with us.

Talk through a project

Ongoing marketing

For businesses that need regular planning and production, campaign management, and reporting. We agree on the priorities and review what's working as the work develops.

Explore ongoing support

Websites & setup, too

Business websites, landing pages, and analytics setup can be scoped as a project or alongside a campaign. We define the pages, integrations, and handoff together. Complex applications and e-commerce need a separate scope.

Discuss your website

03 / Why we work this way

Work directly with the people doing the work

You'll work with Casey and Júlia, from the first conversation to the decisions behind the next round of work.

We agree on the scope, priorities, and responsibilities before work begins. You can see what's ready for review, ask questions, and understand why we're recommending a change. Reports distinguish measured results from our interpretation and flag gaps in the data.

  • A defined scope and clear responsibilities
  • Creative work you can review before it goes out
  • Reporting that explains the next decision

The CaJu Story

CaseyJúlia

We spent years working with big teams and big egos. We wanted something more personal and closer to the actual work, so we built CaJu. It keeps us hands-on, lets us think a problem through properly, and lets us build real relationships with the businesses we work with.

The name isn't accidental. The caju is the Brazilian fruit that grows above the cashew nut. The nut is famous worldwide. The fruit it grows from is vivid, fragrant, and full of character, and it gets overlooked because it spoils faster and doesn't ship as neatly.

That stuck with us. The most valuable part of a business usually isn't the part that's easiest to package and sell. We built CaJu to stay close to the whole of a business, not just the tidy piece. And yes, “CaJu” is also Casey and Júlia.

The jargon decoder

Marketing has a language problem. Tap a word.

A few terms you might hear when we work together, with the plain-language explanation a report should never leave out.

We explain what we measured, what it suggests, and what we still don't know.
