Give your campaign one clear creative direction and a practical standard for the team producing it.
I will lead the creative direction for one campaign across up to three channels over four weeks. You receive a focused brief, two initial visual routes, one developed direction, reference layouts, production guidance and weekly reviews of the team's work.
The package includes up to 16 hours of creative direction, including four 45-minute review sessions, written feedback and two refinement rounds. It suits a business with a designer, internal team or agreed production supplier that needs consistent senior direction.
Finished asset production, full rebranding, photography, CGI production and paid media are separate. You retain final approval and the agreed production team creates the campaign assets.
DELIVERABLES
One 60-minute kickoff covering audience, message, channels and constraints.
One campaign brief and creative success criteria.
Two initial visual routes presented as original moodboards.
One developed direction with colour, type, imagery and layout guidance.
Up to three reference layouts showing the direction across three agreed channels.
Four weekly review calls of up to 45 minutes.
Written feedback on up to 12 production assets supplied in four weekly batches.
A final direction and handover document.
Up to 16 total hours across 28 days, including all calls and preparation.
Two consolidated refinement rounds for the selected direction.
PROCESS
