Here’s the problem. Work doesn’t stop when people take maternity leave.

The work piles up while mom and dad are out. They come back to a dumpster fire and a burned out team who tried to pick up the slack in their absence.

The result? Burnout, stress, and quitting.

71%

of employees report that increased workload due to covering for absent colleagues leads to higher stress, turnover, + reduced productivity. Plus 79% of new mothers end up quitting because they can’t juggle the demands of a full time job with the baby. We are failing them.

That’s why I built the solution. Finally, a way to keep work moving forward with one of the top creative director’s in the nation, without burning out your team — all for a fraction of the cost of a full time hire.

Frequently Asked

  • Yes. I am currently the only Fractional Creative Director and we plan to keep it that way. Should we ever add more creative directors, you will get the choice to keep working with me, or switch.

  • Given the nature of creative direction, one month is simply not enough time to see the results you need. I need to get into the nitty gritty of your business and take some time to build solutions, hence 3 months being the shortest option.

  • Yes. If you do not love the service in the first month, get your money back in full and we’ll part ways. I get that this may feel like a shot in the dark for you, so that’s why I take on 100% of the risk, so you can try it without any sunk cost.

  • This all boils down to efficiency. I realized I can work much faster than other full time directors - especially if I’m not bogged down in daily meetings. I built this so you can get access to me at a fraction of the cost and make you a ton of money. In turn, I get to enjoy helping numerous companies grow while earning a fair compensation from each of them.

  • Yes, otherwise my wife may kill me. If I ever take vacation, you’ll get a month notice and we will simply pause the service, and continue when I’m back. I will make sure we get all tasks done before hand to assure no delays.

  • If you are looking for work beyond the scope of Fractional Direction, feel free to email me at joe@brottman.co or check out my rebranding agency at www.brottman.co

  • Think of Fractional Direction as the guidance, but not the execution. I will roll up my sleeves and pitch in, but this does not include brand design, brand new websites, or constant design work. This is best for teams who already have a designer on staff.

  • If you have no designers at all, we may not be a great fit. Fractional Direction is not a design service and may not be the best place to invest if you don’t have work that needs the direction.
