creative consulting
Clearer direction for your next creative move.
You might need help deciding what content to make, improving the videos your team produces or keeping a campaign moving in a consistent direction. We bring experienced creative thinking and practical guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
“We’re making content ourselves, but need some guidance.”
Your team knows the organisation. You want help with the planning, filming or editing skills that will make its work stronger.
Where are you getting stuck?
“We have ideas, but no clear plan.”
There are plenty of possibilities competing for your time and budget. You need help choosing priorities and turning them into a workable creative direction.
“We need someone to lead the creative decisions.”
You have people who can contribute, but need experienced direction to connect the work, guide execution and keep everyone moving towards the same goal.
The right support for where you are.
Creative Strategy & Planning
For a project, campaign or content programme that needs a clearer starting point.
We help define the audience, sharpen the message and decide what content is worth making. Together, we turn competing ideas into priorities and a practical brief your team or production partner can work from.
Video Coaching & Training
For business owners and teams creating their own videos.
Build confidence with the equipment and resources you already have. Guidance can focus on planning, interviewing, filming, sound or editing, shaped around the work you actually need to produce.
Fractional Creative Direction
For organizations that need ongoing creative leadership.
Bring an experienced creative partner into your planning and review process. We help set priorities, develop concepts, brief contributors and guide feedback, giving connected projects a consistent direction.
Helping a brand build its own momentum.
Over 18 months, we worked with Town Brewery to develop its voice and video style through weekly content, community stories, events and live music sessions.
That ongoing partnership helped build a foundation for an in-house hire to take on most of the work—an example of how creative support can strengthen what an organization is able to do for itself.
Practical support, with a clear purpose.
Start with the decision or challenge.
We talk through what you’re trying to achieve, what’s getting in the way and what resources you have available.
Agree on the support you need.
We recommend a defined engagement, with clear responsibilities, scope and next steps—whether that’s a focused planning session, training or ongoing direction.
Put the thinking to work.
Depending on the engagement, the work might take the form of a creative brief, content priorities, practical training or guidance through production and review.
Good direction should work with the team you have
We can guide your internal team, collaborate with your existing suppliers or take on production ourselves. We’ll agree on who is responsible for what, so the creative direction can move into execution.
If you need North Brothers to produce the work, we’ll scope that alongside the advisory support.
A few useful questions
-
No. Start with the challenge you’re facing. We’ll help identify whether planning, training, ongoing direction or production would be the most useful next step.
-
It means engaging an experienced creative director for an agreed portion of their time. You get ongoing leadership within a defined scope, without creating a full-time role.
-
Yes. We agree on responsibilities and work alongside the people already involved. Your team brings its knowledge of the organization; we contribute creative perspective and direction.
-
Yes. A focused planning or coaching engagement can address a specific need. Ongoing support can be discussed if there’s a useful role for it.
-
Filming and editing are scoped separately. Where a project needs both advice and production, we can propose them together with clear deliverables and responsibilities.
