Contract Creative Partner

Creative Consulting is led by me, Dennis Harrington, a multidisciplinary creative who helps lean teams move campaigns, websites, branding, and content forward without adding a full-time creative hire.

I work directly with not-for-profits, insurance groups, associations, healthcare-adjacent organizations, and professional service teams that need experienced creative support with a personal, hands-on approach.

Discuss Contract Support

What Do You Need To Move Forward?

Choose the closest starting point. You do not need a polished brief before reaching out; I can help shape the scope, timing, and next step.

Project Sprint

A focused push for a campaign, report, presentation, event, brand update, or content package with a clear deadline.

Start A Sprint

Campaign Support

Fundraising, awareness, donor, sponsorship, and launch materials that need strategy, design, and production follow-through.

Ask About Campaign Support

Website updates, social content planning, messaging, content cleanup, accessibility-minded edits, and clearer digital presentation.

Ask About Website Help

Social Media Support

Practical social media management, content calendars, post writing, asset prep, and AI-supported workflows that keep channels active and useful.

Ways We Can Work Together

Project Sprint

A focused engagement for a campaign, website update, brand refresh, presentation, report, event, or content package with a clear deadline.

Ongoing Support

Flexible monthly creative help for teams that need reliable design, campaign, content, and production support without adding headcount.

Launch Support

Senior creative direction and hands-on execution when your team is preparing something public, important, and too visible to feel improvised.

Why Contract Creative Support

Most organizations do not need another full-time creative salary every day of the year. They need experienced help at the moments when the work matters most: a campaign, a website, a fundraising push, a brand refresh, a content deadline, or a launch.

Creative Consulting gives you senior creative judgment, hands-on execution, and practical production support without the overhead of building a larger internal team.

Since 2008, I have worked across brand identity, campaign development, web design, retail, apparel, photography production, and digital content. That range helps me step into complex work quickly and connect strategy to finished creative.

Reach out if your team needs flexible creative capacity, a fresh outside perspective, or someone who can move between strategy, design, content, and production.

Start with a rough note. I will help turn it into a practical scope, whether the answer is a small sprint, a larger project, or a steadier contract relationship.

Flexible support for campaigns, websites, branding, and content.

  • Campaign Design

    Fundraising / Awareness / Events

    I create campaign materials that help people understand the message, feel the urgency, and know what to do next. That can include concepts, key visuals, print pieces, digital assets, donor communications, presentations, signage, and social content.

    Clear Ideas, Finished Assets

    Many teams have the goal and the deadline, but need help turning the idea into a working creative system. I can step in at concept stage, production stage, or anywhere in between.

    Built For Real-World Use

    I create materials that are organized, on-brand, and production-ready. I am comfortable moving from concept and layout through revisions, vendor files, and final delivery.

    The work needs to look good, read clearly, and survive the practical details of launch.

  • Website Support

    Structure / Content / Design

    I help improve websites and digital experiences so they are functional, visually considered, easy to navigate, and built around the audience's next step.

    My web work often connects brand, content, UX, accessibility basics, SEO basics, responsive layout, and practical handoff needs. I care about how a site looks, how it reads, and whether it helps people trust you enough to act.

  • Brand Clarity

    Positioning / Identity / Consistency

    I help clarify how an organization, service, or campaign should show up visually and verbally, from identity and campaign direction to tone, messaging, and audience touchpoints.

    I bring outside perspective, research, and creative direction to ambiguous problems, then turn that thinking into design decisions a team can actually use.

    Useful creative starts with understanding the people you need to reach.

  • Social Media & Content Management

    Planning / Posting / AI-Supported Workflows

    I help teams manage social media with clearer content calendars, better post ideas, stronger visuals, practical copywriting, campaign tie-ins, and a realistic posting rhythm.

    I can also help teams use AI in a smart, controlled way: brainstorming themes, repurposing long-form content, drafting first-pass captions, organizing ideas, and finding patterns in what audiences respond to. The goal is not generic AI content. The goal is faster planning, sharper editing, and more consistent human-led communication.

    I understand the pace and constraints of small teams, and I can help turn ideas into usable content without losing sight of the larger brand, campaign, or the need for inclusive, respectful communication.

  • Creative Production

    Photography / Video / Story Assets

    Whether it is for digital, print, websites, events, or social media, strong imagery matters. I create and direct production work that helps people, services, products, and stories feel clear, useful, and emotionally grounded.
