Retained

I hold the creative function. For as long as you need it held.

Retained engagements are month to month with real authority, not advisory distance. I own briefs, standards, review, and the direction of your internal team and outside vendors. Operational in two to four weeks, not ninety to one hundred and eighty days.

Retained

Embedded leadership

Month to month, ongoing authority

I function as an embedded member of your leadership team, owning the creative function, managing your internal and external resources, and driving brand outcomes with real, clearly defined authority. Not advising. Not reviewing. Owning.

  • Fractional Creative Director $8,000–$12,000 / mo
  • Production Advisor Retainer $3,500–$5,500 / mo

If the problem is already defined and you want it built once rather than held, that is a project engagement.
