creative direction on retainer means the look and the sound of a place are looked after month to month, without a new project every time. new menus, signs, posts, a refurbishment, a second site: all of it past the same eye, so the brand stays itself as it grows. it suits places with their own team who want a steady hand on it.
consultancy is a straight answer to a specific question: whether a rebrand is needed, what the name should be, why the website is not turning visits into enquiries, what to do first with a limited budget. a clear view and a next step, including when the answer is that nothing needs changing yet.
workshops are a session with the team on one subject: the brand and how to use it, photographing the place properly on a phone, writing in the house voice, getting more from the tools they already have. practical, in the building where possible, and built around the work the team actually does.
