A creative director in the room for a set number of hours a month, defined up front. Direction, judgment, and quality control across everything your team ships, without a two hundred thousand dollar line on the payroll.
A first month spent understanding the brand, the team, the calendar, and the standard the work has to clear. Ending in a written point of view on what is working and what is not.
Standing reviews on a fixed cadence. Briefs written or sharpened before work starts, feedback given in one pass rather than five, and final calls made so nothing sits waiting on a decision.
The reason to do this rather than outsource production. Your designers get directed by someone who has done the job, which is how people get better.
A monthly written summary of what shipped, what improved, and what is still in the way. If the arrangement stops being worth the fee, that document is where you will see it first.
A fractional creative director directs; production capacity is a separate arrangement. Some execution is normal inside the hours, but if the underlying need is volume rather than judgment, the monthly retainer is the honest answer and costs less.
