Why Hire Mark E. Gardiner?

What would anybody hire me for?

I'm an advertising Creative Director. Like all titles, this one encompasses a range of meanings; in this case, from "the guy who thinks up the big idea", to "the manager of the Creative Department". I'm the former, not the latter. So you might hire me for:

Creative Direction
Ad Copy
Web Content
Production Management & Virtual Agency

What I do is create advertising, marketing, and collateral materials in both traditional and new media. My involvement in projects typically begins with the creation of an overall strategy consistent with your brand. My work then extends through the 'big idea', to detailed writing and overseeing production of the finished execution. Occasionally, on large projects which call for a true 'Senior Writer', I'm hired to fill that role only.

I'm available to work on a contract basis for advertising agencies. In this setting, I will either provide Creative Direction and/or Heavyweight Copywriting; or provide a complete outsourced creative solution. Every project is quoted individually, with rates from 75 US$/hour.
