Creative Director  /  Brand Strategist  /  Cincinnati

A maker,
not a middle-man.

Twenty years of brand strategy, creative direction, and video. One director doing the thinking and the making. No agency markup, no handoffs.

01  /  The short version

Most brands hire
a committee.
You can hire
an engine.

Agencies split your brand across five people who bill for four. I keep it in one head and one pipeline.

Positioning, campaigns, video, web, the whole system, run by the same operator who set the strategy. Faster to launch, cheaper to run, and answerable to the number that matters.

Plug in the engine

Retainer

Fractional creative director

Ongoing creative leadership, month to month. I own your brand direction and produce the work, embedded like a senior hire without the headcount.

Sprint

Strategic sprint

A focused window to crack one thing: positioning, a rebrand, a launch, a site reset. Clear scope, fast turnaround, a system you keep.

Best for a single big move

03  /  How I build the engine

Tune

We find the true, different thing about your brand and the number you are actually trying to move. Everything downstream gets easier once this is right.

Messaging and positioning work in progress

Wire

Positioning, messaging, and a creative system. The blueprint every asset runs on, so the brand holds together whether I make it or your team does.

Brand guidelines and identity standards

Build

Web, video, campaigns, and content produced hands-on. This is the part agencies subcontract and mark up. I just make it.

Multi-channel campaign assets across print, digital, and trade

Run

Measure, refine, and keep the engine producing. Results in daylight, not buried in a quarterly deck.
