Chris Hatchett, Ideas? I've got plenty.

⏵ The B-side

Not hiring? Here's how else we can build.

Five ways I help teams ship better work, from a one-day workshop to a six-month embed. Scroll through and pick your lane.

AI Consulting
01

Generative AI, plugged into real production.

I help creative orgs adopt generative tooling without losing the craft. Audits, custom pipelines, and hands-on builds for studios shipping at scale.

Fractional Marketing Director
03

Senior marketing leadership, without the headcount.

I plug into your team to set strategy, build content systems, run campaigns, and drive measurable growth. Typical engagements: 3–6 months.
