Three ways to bring this in, without hiring it in-house
Every team's gap is different. These are starting shapes, not fixed packages — most engagements get scoped after one conversation.
Fractional CCO
Embedded creative leadership on a recurring basis — greenlight reviews, narrative direction, and the creative calls a studio needs from the top without carrying a full-time executive.
Studio Advisory
Focused engagements around a specific problem: a stalled narrative, a pitch that needs sharpening, a creative team that needs direction to ship with confidence.
Narrative Direction
Hands-on work inside the story itself — world-building, character architecture, and narrative systems design for teams building out a franchise or IP.

Diagnose
A short discovery pass on the team and where creative or narrative direction is actually stuck — not a generic audit.
Scope the shape
Fractional, project, or sprint — whichever matches the real gap, with clear cadence and deliverables set up front.
Embed
Working directly with leads and leadership, in the reviews and rooms where creative calls actually get made.
Hand off clean
Every engagement ends with the team more capable than it started — documentation, frameworks, and know-how that stays after the engagement ends.
Best fit for studios and creative teams between 10 and 200 people who need senior creative leadership at key moments — greenlight, pitch, or a stalled narrative — but don't need (or can't yet justify) a full-time executive hire.
Engagements are contracted through Nightgram Creative Inc.
Most engagements start with a short call about where creative or narrative direction needs help. No pitch deck required.
