We provide 8 to 18 studio production credits per month, covering fixture updates, match recaps, roster profiles, and pitchside camera assignments.

Academy Director Query

"What is included in a monthly retainer content package, and how does the studio calculate credit usage across a competitive season?"

Club leadership weighing whether to employ an in-house media coordinator or retain Penalnaro's turnkey newsroom.

Elena Petrova, Editor-in-Chief Monthly Retainer Structure

The monthly retainer content package (2–3 posts/wk) runs from 3000 to 7500 USD per month under a 6-month contract.

A full seasonal retainer transforms your club media from ad-hoc scramble into an authoritative sports press office. Priced between 3000 and 7500 USD per month with a strict 6-month seasonal minimum, the package provides 8 to 18 studio credits each calendar month. One credit equals one tactical graphic or written match dispatch; two credits cover a vertical video reel (444 USD value); four credits cover a half-day pitchside shoot (555 USD value).

What the quote depends on within the 3000 to 7500 USD band is specific: the volume of match news and dedicated squad portal pages; publishing frequency (2 posts or 3 posts per week); whether pitchside shooting is bundled or strictly editorial desk text; required video editing and post-production depth; turn-time urgency; and total contract length. You receive predictable monthly bookkeeping without hidden studio fees.

General Manager Query

"We only need sporadic editorial coverage for tournament weekends. Why book hourly over a full monthly agreement?"

Manager calculating cost tradeoffs between seasonal retainer stability and isolated matchday hourly billing.

Club President Query

"What is the step-by-step onboarding process once our board approves an editorial retainer?"

President wanting to know the exact timeline from contract signing to first matchday dispatch.

Elena Petrova, Editor-in-Chief Operational Protocol

Our seasonal onboarding runs in four precise phases over seven calendar days.

Phase 1: Roster & Brand Audit (Day 1–2). Elena Petrova reviews your current squad listings, player jersey numbers, coaching staff titles, and official sponsor guidelines. We establish verified naming conventions so roster errors never reach public channels.

Phase 2: Fixture Calendar Sync (Day 3–4). We map your league schedule, tournament cup dates, and home/away locations. Sideline camera crews are scheduled for key fixtures in advance.

Phase 3: Production Asset Bank (Day 5). We build matchday graphics templates, starting XI announcement layouts, and scoreboard overlays matched to your club crest and colors.

Phase 4: Live Whistle Kickoff (Day 7). First live matchday deployment. Field camera crews shoot pitchside; our editing desk logs minute markers and delivers the post-match recap within 90 minutes.

Elena Petrova, Editor-in-Chief Client Compatibility

Who our editorial packages serve, and which projects we decline without exception.

Our soccer editorial retainers are designed for competitive clubs, academy directors, and tournament managers who understand that athletic media requires factual reporting, high-speed shutter lenses, and consistent publishing cadence.

We decline projects that demand unverified sensationalism, clubs that refuse to provide accurate roster sheets, or clients seeking cheap, bulk-generated AI articles. We do not shoot general weddings or corporate banquets. Penalnaro is an athletic sports editorial studio, and we preserve strict focus on the pitch.
