About this service

Summary

Core Competencies I Bring to the Table

Behavioral Design & Storytelling Mastery — Turning brand messages into emotionally sticky narratives.

Ecosystem Thinking — Helping you think not in silos (just ads or just posts), but how everything compounds.

AI & Automation Strategy — Knowing where AI tools and marketing automation can make your creative fly without burnout.

Content Architecture & Repurposing Systems — Designing content frameworks that convert across multiple platforms.

Brand Positioning Clarity — I will call out confusion, tighten messaging, and keep your creative direction sharp and consistent.

Who This Is For

Founders and solopreneurs scaling fast and needing high-level creative oversight.

Content teams and small agencies needing outside strategic perspective.

Coaches and educators who want consistent storytelling frameworks and fresh campaign ideas every month.

Process

I become your creative co-pilot: steering campaigns, tightening stories, and refining vision — without you hiring a full-time creative director.

🔎 How It Works Each Month:

Kickoff call: Align campaigns, ideas, and storytelling focus

Ongoing: Slack/WhatsApp async ideation, quick Loom feedback on content/design drafts or emails

Weekly check-ins for progress course-correction

End-of-month strategic map with next-step clarity

✅ Key Value: You stop second-guessing creative decisions and gain a trusted, on-call brain focused on clarity and impact.

FAQs

What’s the difference between this and project-based work?
This is strategic brain access — campaign ideas, positioning reviews, and storytelling oversight, without execution.
What if I need more than 5 hours?
You can either add additional hours or upgrade to a higher plan.
How do we communicate?
Slack, Notion, Email and Loom-based feedback. Minimal meetings — maximum creative momentum.
Can you help my in-house designer & creative teams stay focused?
Yes! I review, guide, and keep teams creatively aligned.
Is there a commitment?
No long-term lock-in — month-to-month, with priority access to my calendar.
