Solving expensive problems for business owners since 2015!
With over a decade in the game, I've witnessed too many creators burn out on the forever content loop that social media demands. Pair that with AI doing everything for everyone now, and if (like me) you don't subscribe to that life, it gets hopeless...fast. Luckily, I'm good at solving problems.
This is what I call an "AI-FREE ZONE". Every service delivered comes with a 100% human-made guarantee. Just me (hi, I'm Lauren), my expertise, and my ideas.
My real job as a creative consultant is in getting to know my client's brand / business / passion project at a deep, personal level and caring about it as much as they do (AI can't do that).
My clients are creative people, not marketing experts. They're filmmakers, DJs, authors, artists, musicians, coaches, and small business owners who want online growth but feel exhausted by what that entails.
They know that creating their best work depends on having the time and energy to focus and that the best investment lies in getting someone else to do the boring part.
Before working together, my clients report feeling...
- Weighed down by decision fatigue
- Overwhelmed with "being online"
- Powerless against AI slop and workflows
- Anxious about their growing priority list
- Unsure about where to post, what to post, and when
- Frustrated with getting in front of the right audience
- Confused about running successful advertising campaigns
- Discouraged by static engagement and slow growth
- Bombarded with passing trends, noisy feeds, and random advice
- Tired of spending 10+ hours a week "making content"
Navigating fickle algorithms, guessing what works, and careening towards burnout?
No thanks, not on my watch.
Working together means you stop carrying that weight. As my client, I do the heavy lifting here, so you can focus on what lights you up and be more successful in the process.
Specific ways I can help:
- Creative - video editing (reels, podcasts, video essays, music videos, reviews, trailers), sound design, YouTube thumbnails, social media graphics, merch store builds
- Editorial - ghostwriting, long-form content planning, website audits, search engine optimization (SEO), newsletter assistance
- Strategy - market research, building strong client funnels, lead generation, competitor analysis, paid advertising, influencer partnerships
- Management - project support, batch scheduling, community engagement and moderation
- Consulting - brand positioning, full-scale audits, crisis navigation, concept development, ongoing training, guides, SOPs, and implementation
My last client built 7 courses with celebrity partners, saw their audience grow by 4767.6% (that's 48x!), published a global bestseller, and most importantly, felt comfortable taking 3 to 4 months off every year.
That's the kind of work we can do together.
With me, you get the whole package - I don't stop at "consultant." You're also hiring a ride-or-die creative partner who brings 10+ years of content management, community growth, and marketing knowledge to the table.
Measuring Success
How do we calculate ROI, exactly? There's a lot that goes into it, but you'll know it's working when...
- Your bandwidth increases - no longer on the road to burnout, your capacity improves and you feel better equipped to handle each day
- Your creative spark returns - as the pressure to "create content" fades away, your ability to access flow state gets easier
- Your community shifts - not just more followers, but the right kind; audience engagements are healthy and meaningful
- Your numbers go up - the proof is in the reports: higher views, improved retention, more leads, more traffic, better conversion rates
- Your wallet gets fuller - sales are rolling in effortlessly; the systems and processes we implemented are working their magic
Most importantly, you'll know it's working when you get your time back. Outsourcing your most hated tasks to a seasoned pro means reclaiming 50+ hours a week, every week! And that time really adds up...
Let's see here: 50 hours saved...that's roughly two days each week, eight days per month, and (checks notes)...96 days per year.
Your time is so incredibly valuable. Nobody wants you spending 96 days every year doing stuff you don't enjoy - that's exhausting!
Thankfully, though, there is a better way..
Client Services
Whether you've stopped by for a quick brand tune-up or you're launching something that needs all hands on deck, it's important that we pair you with the right package for your needs.
I've highlighted the main benefits for each option in the graphic below, followed by a more thorough offer breakdown and some recommended use cases.
Brand Starter Kit
The starter kit includes your full brand status report, content plan, and email support. Your report (aka "audit") offers an outside perspective on current social media strategy, brand positioning, UX design, and more. Yep, I'll even stress-test your social links and website!
You'll also hit the ground running with a one-month content roadmap, outlining weekly content ideas, tips for success, and where to find inspiration. After looking through your report and roadmap, I'm just an email away, ready to answer any questions that come up!
Perfect for... anyone with an online presence that would like some guidance around "branding"; those feeling overwhelmed by noisy social media advice (but not quite ready for 1:1 support)
Strategy Kick-Off
Includes everything inside the Brand Starter Kit, plus a 90-minute virtual coaching call with me. After a short (and fun!) intake questionnaire, I fully customize our 1:1 session to your specific pain points and goals. You'll leave the coaching call with a clear picture of where you're at now, guidance for where you want to go, and the confidence needed to get there.
Perfect for... newer artists, personal brands, solopreneurs, and small businesses that need a strategy boost; anyone looking to rebrand
Content Creator Shorts Pack
This creative package includes 10 "done-for-you" video edits, custom-fit to your brand style, positioning, and goals. Each vertical video includes text overlays, b-roll, captions, simple VFX, and background music (as needed).
All edited content is delivered via Google Drive, ready to post across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. For accessibility, I also include written alt text for each video in a Google Doc.
Perfect for... busy online content creators who need professional, upload-ready vertical video; small business owners that want short-form video optimized for social marketing; all creatives who'd like to post more but lose steam at the video editing stage

FAQ
How do I become a client?
It's easy! Start with booking a free, low-pressure intro call with me, where we'll hang out for a bit and make sure working together is the right direction for your business. From there, I can make a few suggestions for next steps, based around your current obstacles, budget, capacity, and goals.
Do you have a payment plan?
Standalone 90-minute strategy sessions are a one-time fee, while the video shorts pack is split across two payments; VIP partnerships require a $1000 deposit with a six-month payment plan available.
Why is "AI-free" so important to your business model?
Beyond the known environmental and ethical ramifications, I believe the only things worth making require creative process, not prompts. I've also found that AI-heavy businesses tend to cut corners...
We've all seen the flyers, right?
I don't cut corners. I also don't listen when people shout, "Use this or get left behind!" What matters to me is my clients getting the best possible results, and frankly, I just don't think ChatGPT is up to the task.
What types of graphic design do you offer?
Not much is off-limits (including snail mail!), but clients typically request some combination of YouTube thumbnails, social media cover photos (Reels, highlights), logos, infographics, carousels, title overlays, and Google/Meta ad creative.
Can you optimize my long-form content for other platforms?
Absolutely. If you have a blog or YouTube channel full of potential (but lack the energy to make it usable on Shorts, Instagram, etc.), let's talk.
Turning longer videos, articles, and comprehensive guides into bite-size formats is one of my specialties!
Where can I see your work?
For professional work, head over to my client portfolio, where you'll find some of the high-engagement, high-impact social media campaigns I'm known for.
For creative work, feel free to check out my portfolio here, or come say hi on Instagram!
Most of the internet is trash, but your content doesn't have to be!
