Creative consulting retainer
Steady support as the work changes.
What it is
A rolling retainer for creative teams and the leaders responsible for them. A defined scope rather than unlimited access—regular contact, so new stuckness gets named early instead of after a quarter of drift.
It suits organisations that have already done a piece of work with us, or that are changing fast enough that the useful conversation is a continuing one.
Who it is for
Leaders of creative teams who want a consistent outside perspective rather than a one-off intervention.
How it works
What actually happens.
- 01
Agree what it covers
We define what is included, how often we meet and who attends. Clear limits are what make a retainer useful rather than vague.
- 02
Meet on a regular rhythm
A standing session, so problems come up while they are still small and cheap to deal with.
- 03
Work on whatever is live
Each session takes whatever is actually in front of you that month, rather than following a fixed programme.
- 04
Review whether it still helps
Every few months we check it is still earning its place, and we tell you if we think it is not.
What you leave with
Problems named early, not late.
Good to know
A few common questions.
What does it cover?
An agreed scope, set at the start. It is not unlimited access, and we are explicit about that because vagueness makes retainers useless.
Do we need to have worked with you before?
No, though it often follows a workshop or a reset, because by then we know the team.
Can we pause it?
Yes. We would rather pause than keep billing for something that has stopped being useful.
Who is in the room?
Usually the leader or leaders. Sometimes a small group. We agree that when we scope it.
Not sure this is the right starting point? See all the ways to work together, or get in touch and we will help you choose.
