Retainer, hourly, or fractional

Available as a retainer or hourly-based consulting engagement, so you can get senior guidance from over 20 years of small- and global-scale advertising and creative experience — fractional creative leadership for in-house marketing teams and CMOs, or complete campaign creation and execution if you're a first-time business owner unsure where to start.

Logic behind the creative

Every engagement follows the same proven, human-centered process laid out below — even when AI and automation speed up production or key operations, the thinking behind each step doesn't change.

Creative production, managed

Beyond strategy and direction, Miner Thought can manage the actual creation of assets — coordinating the people and process behind design and advertising production so the work gets made on time and on brief, not just planned.

How We Use AI

Human First

Strategy — the plan, the positioning, the call on what actually matters for your business — is led by senior people, not software. That's the part clients are really hiring for.

AI-Enhanced

Underneath that strategy, AI helps with the volume work: documentation, reporting, campaign and asset build-out, and the repetitive parts of getting a plan into market faster.

AI-Responsible

Every piece of marketing that goes out is human-reviewed and proofed before it ships — no exceptions, regardless of how it was produced.

What this includes

Questions people ask

What is fractional creative leadership?

It is senior creative direction on demand: the guidance of a creative director or CMO-level partner without a full-time hire. It works well for in-house marketing teams and growing businesses that need strategy and direction but not another permanent seat.

Is this just strategy, or do you also make the work?

Both are available. Some clients want direction and a plan; others want the campaign designed and produced too. Creative production can be managed end to end so the work is made on time and on brief.

Can we work together on a retainer or by the hour?

Either. Retainer and hourly engagements are both available, so the arrangement can match how much help you actually need.
