your design and marketing partner
The
Creative chair
Every company has a seat at the table that nobody's sitting in. The one where design decisions get made, brand calls get answered, and the work gets done right. That's the chair. This is how you fill it.
You're not looking for a vendor. You're not looking for a freelancer you have to re-brief every three months. You're looking for someone who knows your brand as well as you do, shows up when things land on the plate, and doesn't need to be managed.
What Is The Creative Chair?
The Creative Chair puts a 27-year creative director into that seat — on a schedule that works for your business, at a cost that doesn't require a headcount conversation with HR. Design, presentations, research, content, web, signage, in-house training, and strategy. One voice. One consistent standard. One chair, finally filled.
-
Graphics, flyers, one-pagers, leave-behinds, marketing ads, custom illustrations, social media graphics, email marketing design, and brand standards applied consistently across every piece that goes out the door.
-
RFP design and layout. Sales decks. Bid presentations. Leadership and board decks. Trade show graphics and booth design. The materials that represent your company in a room and have to be right.
-
Competitor research and industry trend analysis. Data pulls and background research for bids and proposals. Brand strategy and positioning reviews. AI visibility audits and optimization. The work that happens before the design does.
-
Project spotlights and case write-ups. Safety and recognition stories. Team and culture content. Website and marketing copy. Email and newsletter content. Proposal narratives and executive summaries.
-
Website updates and page maintenance. Landing page builds. AI/SEO reviews and content updates. Analytics reporting and recommendations. AI engine optimization.
-
Wayfinding and directional signage. Environmental and facility graphics. Trade show and event materials. Sponsorship collateral. Request tracking and project workflow so nothing gets lost and nothing gets rebuilt from scratch.
-
If you have someone on your team who handles design, The Creative Chair includes a dedicated monthly training session to keep them sharp, on-brand, and confident. We build their skills alongside your brand — so the work coming out of your office gets better every month, not just the work coming from mine.
why it works
An entry-level marketing hire in Tennessee runs $36,000 to $42,000 a year before benefits, software, or time off — and you'd be hard-pressed to find one person who covers research, design, presentations, website work, writing, and in-house training. That's normally four specialists, two project managers, and a standing argument about who owns what.
The Creative Chair covers all of it. At every level. From someone who's been doing this work for 27 years, across industries from construction and real estate to healthcare, professional services, and retail. The Starter plan is $12,000 a year. The Full Partner plan is $36,000. For context, a mid-level creative director in Tennessee runs $65,000 to $85,000 — before you factor in the seven other disciplines they probably don't cover.
