Packages, Pricing, and How to Choose the Right Level of Support

Because picking the right My Set PA package isn’t about money — it’s about capacity.

One thing every crew member learns early in their career is this:

You can’t measure workload in hours.You measure it in headspace.

That’s why choosing the right My Set PA package isn’t a question of,“Do I need 5, 10, or more hours?”

It’s really:

• “How much mental load do I want off my plate?”

• “How chaotic is my current production?”

• “How much personal life do I want to protect?”

• “How much admin am I pretending I’m keeping on top of?”

Here’s a simple, honest breakdown to help you decide — written specifically for freelancers, HODs, shooting crew, and suppliers.

The 5-Hour Package (£250) — “The Reset Button”

Best for: Crew who are not drowning, but definitely not floating.

You’re a 5-hour client if:

• You think you’re organised but have 74 unread emails

• You’re between gigs and want to sort your life out

• You have a short list of annoying tasks that never get done

• You want someone to get you “caught up”

• Your CV hasn’t been updated since your last three jobs

Typical tasks we cover in 5 hours:

• CV updates + cover letters

• Job applications

• Tidying your inbox

• Booking travel for upcoming work

• Organising appointments

• Sorting one-off personal errands

• Renewals, reminders, payments

  
  

Biggest benefit:A noticeable drop in stress — fast.

The 10-Hour Package (£450) — “The Realistic Crew Package”

Best for:Anyone in active production or juggling multiple commitments.

This is by far the most popular package because it actually matches how freelancers work.

You’re a 10-hour client if:

• You’re shooting and can’t manage personal admin

• You always remember tasks at the wrong time

• You’re dropping small but important things

• Your job applications are always late

• You’re too busy to book appointments

• You feel permanently behind

Typical tasks we cover in 10 hours:

• All admin from the 5-hour tier

• Ongoing inbox and diary management

• Travel planning + reshuffling when schedules change

• Job tracking, availability checks, follow-ups

• Personal life admin (birthdays, gifts, reminders)

• Appointment booking + rescheduling during shoot chaos

• Document organisation, invoices, expenses

  
  

Biggest benefit:You stop firefighting and start feeling in control.

The 15–20+ Hour Package — “The Full Support System”

Best for:

• HODs

• Crew on back-to-back productions

• Suppliers

• Anyone running a business alongside freelancing

• Crew who want long-term personal + professional support

• People who say “I genuinely don’t have time for anything right now”

  
  

You’re a high-hours client if:

• You’ve accepted that chaos is your default

• You want an assistant who knows your life inside out

• Your time is too valuable to spend on admin

• You’re constantly being pulled in multiple directions

• You want a single point of contact who handles everything

• You don’t ever want to “catch up” again — you want to stay ahead

Typical tasks we cover in high-hour packages:

• Full inbox + diary management

• Being your point-of-contact for bookings, brands, jobs

• Managing all personal and professional admin

• Planning travel + logistics for you or your department

• Supporting prep weeks or busy shoot phases

• Managing home admin, life organisation, moves, setups

• Tracking renewals, payments, deadlines

• Ensuring nothing slips — ever

  
  

Biggest benefit:A level of calm, clarity, and personal support most crew have never experienced.

Hourly Rate (£55/hr) — “As You Need It”

Best for:

• One-off jobs

• CV rewrites

• A single big admin task

• Last-minute support

• Unexpected personal or professional emergencies

• Trialling the service before committing

  
  

This option is great if: You want to test the waters or have one specific issue that needs solving.

But be warned — clients often say:

“I thought I only needed an hour. Turns out I needed ten.”

How to actually choose the right package: Ask yourself these 5 questions

1. Am I currently coping, maintaining, or falling behind?

Coping = 5 hours Maintaining = 10 hours Falling behind = 15+ hours

2. Is my stress coming from work, life admin, or both?

If it’s both → 10 hours minimum

3. Do I want support just for this month, or long-term structure?

Short-term → 5 hoursLong-term → 10+ hours

4. Do I want a reset or ongoing relief?

Reset → 5 hoursRelief → 10 hoursTransformation → 15+ hours

5. How much of my life do I want someone else to handle?

A little → 5 hoursA lot → 10 hoursEverything → 15+ hours

The real decision isn’t about money — it’s about headspace.

Every client says the same thing:

“I wish I’d started this sooner.”

Because once you feel the impact — the clarity, the organisation, the relief — you realise how much pressure you were carrying alone.

You don’t buy hours. You buy ease. You buy peace of mind. You buy time. You buy support that matches the reality of working in production.
