Freelance Creative and Branding in Nashville

What a freelance creative and branding practitioner does

A freelance creative and branding practitioner works across both halves of the identity problem: the idea and the craft that expresses it. This is the common hire for a company that needs a brand built and launched by one person rather than a team.

A typical engagement produces:

• positioning and narrative groundwork
• identity design and visual system
• launch campaign concept and assets
• guidelines for ongoing application
