Backpocket Creative Retainer

"This was the best purchase I made in years.

It was all of the benefit of having a creative director without the big time commitment and big ticket price that allowed me to reflect upon my brand with someone to empower me to take action.

I think that everyone could benefit from this, but especially service based freelancers."

daryl oh,
not not studio

You're not where you started, but you're not where you want to be (yet).

(frustration, comparison, inconsistency, lacking confidence, overthinking, analysis paralysis, etc.)

Time to start bridging the gap.

You’ve outgrown DIY design, but it’s not the time to hire someone full time. You need a creative partner who can think big-picture AND handle execution. That’s me.

What a month with a creative director in your back pocket could look like:

The Approach—

Flexibility: No two months of business are the same. This retainer is made for that. Whether you need a hand with social graphics or brainstorming what the best platform is for your new course, I'm here for it all.

Not your yes-woman: An exchange of deliverables? You can find that anywhere. This is collaborative, a partnership where I’m here to grow your vision with you. I’m here to bring out the best in you and your brand.

Relational creativity: You’re always working directly with me, Anna (hey!), so you get to develop a relationship with a creative who truly cares about your brand. You’re all in, so am I.

Relationship

trust

truly great ideas

Truly great ideas require trust and the ability to be open, honestly, and explore the ‘out there’ concepts. That’s the kind of brainstorming and creativity we get into together.

Every month, we can sit down, kick off our shoes, and dig into the guts of your brand: the good, bad and ugly. I’m here to partner with you as you bring that vision that’s in your head into real life.

Common questions

FROM A CREATIVE— "Having an outside perspective was so helpful because I wouldn't have been able to see that on my own. As a creative, I can easily get distracted, but chatting with Anna about the future of my studio has really helped me envision what's next."

ON BIG IDEAS— ""A MUST for anyone who needs a 2nd mind to bounce off of when dealing with big ideas that you want to execute to elevate your business— creative or otherwise!"
