Creative & Marketing Leadership Consulting

A strategy honed with Nike. A system built for clarity. A result that speaks louder than the headline.

We’ve sat in your seat. Led the meetings. Wrestled the spreadsheets. And we’ve built the kinds of brands that don’t just land on shelves—they live in culture. At Watson, our consulting engagements are not about parachuting in with a playbook. They’re about embedding deep into the heartbeat of your organization and helping shape what comes next—with clarity, creativity, and a little conviction.

From startups to Fortune 500s, we’ve guided leadership teams through brand reinventions, product pivots, and global campaigns. Whether stepping in as a fractional CMO, Creative Director, or Brand Advisor, we help leaders focus their teams, sharpen their messaging, and scale with intention.

Fractional Roles with Full Impact

Whether you’re between hires, restructuring, or just need a partner in the room who’s fluent in both strategy and story—we fill the gap with experience, empathy, and edge. Our fractional engagements are structured to provide executive-level creative and marketing leadership without the full-time overhead.

Clients tap us for:

  • Strategic brand planning and vision setting
  • Organizational design and marketing team structuring
  • Campaign oversight and integrated channel planning
  • Stakeholder communications and executive coaching

This isn’t theory. It’s decades of doing—from rebranding the Autism Society of America to shaping the voice of the Oregon Wine Board and helping launch sustainability platforms with NIKE.

Clarity in Complexity

We’re often brought in during moments of change: a new CEO, a major acquisition, a rapid scale-up, or a long-overdue repositioning. Our job is to bring clarity to complexity—to distill what matters, rally teams around a unified message, and ensure every decision supports the brand’s long-term value.

Our consultants operate as translators between brand, business, and creative execution. We work side-by-side with your C-suite, marketing leadership, and operational teams to ensure your direction isn’t just smart—it’s shared.

A Partner That Grows With You

Watson’s consulting model is designed to scale. Some clients need a strategic roadmap. Others need a few steady hands to carry it through. Either way, we’re flexible. Our creative leadership often transitions seamlessly into Embedded Teams & Retainers or Brand Management support—ensuring continuity from big idea to day-to-day execution.

When needed, we also lead Stakeholder Engagement and internal rollout strategies, helping align your people behind the vision, not just the visuals.

The wider the lens,
the sharper the view.

By intention, we work across industries—because depth matters, but so does breadth. Range fuels fresh thinking. Creative tension sparks better questions. And curiosity? That’s where the breakthroughs begin.

It's different here.

From Portland to Bend, Seattle to Sausalito—our teams are spread across the West Coast, nestled between forests, surf breaks, and the occasional volcano. The kind of landscape that fuels bold ideas and creative mischief.
