Services
Ongoing creative leadership.
Not another vendor,
structured for the way
businesses actually work.
Two retainers. Both designed around ownership of outcomes, not delivery of tasks. If you need a defined project with a fixed fee and an end date, that’s RoamWild Consulting. Same operator. Different model. No overlap.
Fractional
Creative Director
I function as an embedded member of your leadership team, owning the creative function, managing your internal and external resources, and driving brand outcomes with real, clearly-defined authority. Not advising. Not reviewing. Owning.
This is the right engagement when you have a creative team that needs senior direction, when you’ve recently lost a Creative Director or VP, when you’re navigating a brand transition or repositioning, or when your agency relationship is failing and you need someone senior enough to fix it.
The Math:
$12K/month is $144K/year. A full-time CD at the same seniority runs $200K+ fully loaded and takes a quarter to ramp. You save $60K–$120K in year one and get output from week one.Creative Vision & Brand Standards
Own and evolve the creative direction. Define and enforce brand standards across all touchpoints and teams.
Team Direction & Hiring
Direct internal creative staff. Advise on structure, capacity, and hiring decisions. Develop team capability.

Campaign Concepting & Oversight
Lead creative development from brief through execution. Maintain creative quality across the full pipeline.
Compliance Navigation
Navigate legal, compliance, and stakeholder review processes. Make the regulatory constraint creative, not limiting.
Executive Reporting
Report directly to CMO or marketing leadership. Articulate creative strategy, performance, and ROI at the leadership level.
Production Advisor Retainer
Virtually no fractional consultant brings genuine production company experience to this problem. Brands investing in video, media, and content production consistently overpay, get under-delivered, and have no internal expertise to evaluate what they’re receiving. I know what production actually costs, where the markup hides, and how to manage vendors who are counting on you not knowing the difference.
This is the light-touch retainer: I sit over your production spend, review the bids, flag the leaks, and keep your vendors honest — a few days a month, no full-time seat.
Need the full infrastructure built instead — vendor roster, standards, templates, benchmarks? That’s the Production Program Build at RoamWild Consulting. Defined scope, fixed fee, an end date.
I hold 2–3 retainer clients at a time. That’s the whole roster. Every engagement begins with one conversation about what you’re trying to solve — no formal brief, no polished RFP. Bring the problem as you understand it. Response within two business days.
“Every engagement begins with one conversation about what you’re trying to solve.”
I do not require a formal brief or a polished RFP. Bring the problem as you understand it. We will clarify it together.
