Lead with art, story, & idea.

 

You and your team know it requires courage and intuition to chart new paths beyond the “impact” of marketing metrics and audience analytics. You’re not interested in data feedback loops. You want to make a real impact and effect positive social change.

Now you’re looking for a consultant who possesses the progressive social foresight to design deeply engaging experiences and prescient narratives for audiences and stakeholders.

Creative Strategy &
Art Direction

You have a spark of inspiration—artists, causes or work—that can champion your mission. Now you need someone to assemble, communicate and manage the pieces, stoking that spark into a fire. Together, we’ll leverage my experience and network of trusted experts and talented craftspeople to communicate your vision with smooth, memorable production.

Together, we’ll build profound narratives to articulate your global and historic significance, inspiring your stakeholders’ loyalty and deepening audience engagement.

  • Fine copy-writing, organizational narratives, short or long-form articles, critique, content and more.

The Process

Every project presents unique challenges, but a well-managed process guarantees clarity, success, and effective solutions:

  1. DESIGN & CONCEPTUALIZE. Your project needs a fresh narrative and comprehensive thematic approach which considers and integrates each element, media form and variable into a coherent whole.
  2. DEVELOP A PRODUCTION PLAN. We’ll identify inside and outside roles and responsibilities to facilitate a smooth and successful production maximizing available time and resources.
  3. PRODUCE, COMMUNICATE, ITERATE. With a plan and time-frame, assets, support services, and contractors are engaged with clear communication and exceptional project management.
  4. DELIVER. Well-executed design and preparation anticipates challenges. When unforeseens arise you’ll have a plan and an extended network of support to guarantee successful production.
  5. FOLLOW-UP. If enhanced audience engagement was the original goal, then an intentional process for re-engagement and further development ensures the protracted success and sets measured goals for future work together.
