GED / THE916LIVE BRIEF

FOR AGENCIES / WHITE-LABEL AVAILABLE

Senior social strategy & creative direction.

Got a pitch, new account, stale client channel or overloaded team? I plug in project-by-project and build the social direction, repeatable formats, concepts and production plan your team can present and execute.

  • Projects from £750
  • Project-by-project
  • Your team produces + publishes

THE DIVIDE I build the strategy and creative system.

Your agency or client team produces and publishes by default.

Production can be scoped separately where useful.

One service. Four agency moments.

Additional senior social capability when a particular brief deserves it—without adding permanent headcount or displacing your team.

01 / Pitch

You need to win it.

A live pitch has a meaningful social component and the thinking needs more depth before the client sees it.

I strengthen the social strategy, native platform thinking, concepts and pitch narrative.

02 / Launch

You need to build it.

You have won the client. Now the team needs an executable social system rather than more pitch language.

I turn the strategy into territories, formats, concepts, a production model and handover.

03 / Reset

You need to fix it.

An existing account feels stale, generic or directionless—and “better content” is no longer a useful brief.

I diagnose what is weak and rebuild the creative direction around repeatable output.

04 / Capacity

You need it done.

Your internal people are capable, but senior capacity is committed elsewhere and the deadline has not moved.

I take a defined strategic and creative brief off the team’s plate.

Work that had to earn attention.

Personal storytelling and creator-led collaborations. Open any card to view the original post on its platform.

DRAG / SWIPE TO EXPLORE →

Not “content pillars.” A usable creative system.

The work should tell your team what to make, why it fits the client, how it works on the platform and how to produce it repeatedly.

  1. 01

    Brief / account diagnosis

    What is weak, repetitive, overly corporate or disconnected from platform behaviour.

  2. 02

    Strategic social direction

    A clear point of view on what the account should become and the role social should play.

  3. 03

    3–5 content territories

    Distinct areas the brand can consistently own instead of publishing disconnected ideas.

  4. 04

    5–8 repeatable formats

    Series the execution team can reproduce, test and improve over time.

  5. 05

    Concepts + hooks

    Concrete examples showing how the strategy becomes content—not generic theme labels.

  6. 06

    Production guidance

    Who appears, what gets captured, how often and how available resources become consistent output.

  7. 07

    Workflow recommendations

    Where useful, a leaner route from idea to approval so good creative survives the process.

  8. 08

    Client-ready handover

    A presentation, pitch contribution or workshop shaped around how your agency needs to use the work.

04 / APPLIED CREATIVE DIRECTION

From a vague pillar to something a team can film.

TOO VAGUE

“Pillar 1: Education.”

It sounds strategic. It does not tell an execution team what to film on Tuesday.

STRONGER / REPEATABLE FORMAT

“What customers get wrong about X.”

Structure
30–45 seconds. Open with the misconception, explain why it matters, then show the better approach.
Production
Film six episodes in one 60-minute session with a subject-matter expert.
Episode
“Why the cheapest quote usually isn’t actually the cheapest.”

Creator. Creative. Brand-side.

I can judge both sides of the brief: will anyone care—and can the organisation actually execute it?

01 / CREATOR

100K+

Combined audience

02 / CREATIVE

Attention earned in-feed.

Your client relationship stays yours.

You decide whether I am invisible behind the scenes or present alongside your team. The point is useful senior capability—not a threat to what you have built.

Send me the social problem currently sitting on your desk.

An active pitch. A newly won account. Stale client social. A team stretched on capacity. Send the context and I’ll tell you whether I’m useful.
