Creative Direction On-Demand

Direct access to me as your fractional Creative Director—for taste, standards, and decision support. I help you set the bar, shape the work, and steer the process so output is on-brand, effective, and efficient. I don’t configure tools or “do the clicking.” I provide direction your team can run with.

• Brand direction & narrative
  Tighten positioning, messaging hierarchies, and proof structure; define what “on-brand” means in practical terms.

• Campaign & concept guidance
  Evaluate concepts, sharpen briefs, and sequence deliverables across channels for impact and speed.

• Creative standards & reviews
  Install a maker-friendly critique cadence, scoring rubrics, and “Definition of Done” so rounds go down and quality goes up.

• Content systems
  Outline modular content patterns, versioning approaches, and reuse rules; your team builds the templates.

• Team coaching
  Coach CDs/ADs/writers/designers on taste, decision quality, and pace; improve manager 1:1s and feedback.

• Practical AI for creative
  Identify safe, high-ROI uses (briefing, first drafts, QA, repurposing); set guardrails and pilot criteria. Your team runs the pilots.

• Operating rhythm (lightweight)
  Recommend EOS-style rituals that serve creative work: clear Rocks, useful L10s, visible priorities—no bureaucracy.

• I’ve sat in the seat — Creative Director and former COO, now Director of Special Projects leading applied AI. I know how to balance taste, speed, and margin.

• Systems without the stiffness — Clear standards and cadences that help creative, not hinder it.

• AI as an amplifier — Guarded, measurable assists that lift quality and reduce churn—never a brand risk or shortcut.

1. Pick a block: hours/days you can draw on as needed.

2. Prioritize: we stack-rank decisions, reviews, and guidance needs.

3. Advise & direct: I deliver short memos, playbooks, and live reviews; I coach leads on execution.

4. Review & refine: quick checkpoints to tune direction and keep momentum.

Note: I don’t configure tools or build assets. I guide and coach; your team or partners implement.
