CREATIVE SUPPORT FOR AGENCY OWNERS AT CAPACITY.
Hi, I’m Dang. Creative Director and Founder of @createdbydang.
When you’re the bottleneck and your in-house team is stretched thin, I step in at any stage of the brief. I turn your client strategy docs, photo banks, and raw footage into cohesive Instagram grids, premium brand directions, Canva template systems, and scroll-stopping video edits.
⚡ 11+ YEARS ACROSS 18+ INDUSTRIES.
The external creative partner you never knew you needed is here! Let's get to work!
YOU DIDN'T BUILD AN AGENCY TO BECOME THE BOTTLENECK.
But here you are. Every grid, every reel cover, every "can we make this look more premium?" runs through you or your one great designer. And they're already stretched thin.
- ✦ Your feeds look good. You want them to look next-level good, and nobody has the hours.
- ✦ You''re onboarding new team members with no templates for them to work from.
- ✦ A client wants a full visual direction by Friday, and you haven't started.
- ✦ You've never hired a designer before, so you're not even sure what it should cost.
- ✦ Someone on your team is out, and the content calendar doesn't care.
The work isn't the problem. The capacity is.
HAND ME THE BRIEF. I'LL HAND BACK FINISHED WORK.
Pick one service or bring me in across all of them. Either way, it's built from your client's existing brand, photos and strategy.
For feeds that need to look cohesive without looking copy-pasted.
- ✦ Monthly post templates your team drops content into (built around your posting volume)
- ✦ A mix of cover styles: solid brand colour, photo with brand overlay, varied type placement
- ✦ Reel cover templates
- ✦ Carousels that mix static and video
- ✦ Event and promo templates when a client's got something coming up
- ✦ Sample grid layouts so your team can see how a finished month should land
For new clients, rebrands, or anyone about to launch.
- ✦ Two style directions, presented in a short, decision-ready deck (no 30-slide marathons)
- ✦ A clear breakdown of how each direction applies the client's brand and references
- ✦ Cover and post examples so your client can say yes or no in one sitting
For founders and brands going all in on video.
- ✦ Cover styles, on-screen text and caption styling, so even a random 10-second post looks on brand
- ✦ A filming setup guide: framing, headroom, lighting and how to send footage
- ✦ Test-recording feedback before the real shoot
- ✦ Long-form edits cut into short clips for the feed
- ✦ 4:5 talking-head video ads for paid
For when the client knows their topic but not how to say it on camera.
- ✦ Instagram and LinkedIn content plans: themes, topics and a posting schedule
- ✦ Rollout timelines from shoot to first post
- ✦ Video briefs per topic: the hook, the structure, where to pause
For agencies growing faster than their process.
- ✦ Grid SOPs and best-practice guides for your designers
- ✦ A final-review checklist for arranging the grid before a month goes live
- ✦ Upload folders and asset setups so content arrives where it should
⚡ Delivered in whatever your team works in. Canva, Google Drive, Notion, your call.
I PLAY LIBERO FOR YOUR CREATIVE TEAM.
In volleyball, the libero is the specialist who steps onto the court at any angle to keep the ball in play. That is how I plug into your agency. You handle the client calls and relationships, while I work behind the scenes to catch overflow briefs, build the visual systems, and keep your delivery moving without friction.
START SMALL. SCALE WHEN IT CLICKS.
TRIAL PROJECT
One client, one clear scope, about two weeks. You see the work and how we work together before you commit to anything bigger. I'd rather earn your trust than lock you in.
PER PROJECT
Premium branding + creative direction, a template system, or a launch. Scoped, quoted and delivered.
ONGOING CREATIVE SUPPORT
I'm on call across your client roster. Your in-house team keeps executing, and I handle design strategy, templates and the briefs nobody has time for. Think of it as a lead designer without the full-time hire.
FROM BRIEF TO DELIVERED, WITHOUT YOU CHASING IT.
The client's strategy doc, their content bank, a few accounts they love. I'll take it from there.
Before I design anything, I study the brand, the audience and the client's own footage, so the work sounds and looks like them.
Templates, directions or video systems, delivered in your tools. Most research-heavy projects land in one and a half to two weeks, and I'll flag if we can compress it.
I stay behind the scenes. You stay client-facing, and we go back and forth until it's right.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS FOR BUSY AGENCY OWNERS.
Click any question below to see the details.
I've never worked with an external designer. What does this cost? +
It depends entirely on the scope of your client roster, which is why there's a quote form below. Tell me what deliverables your agency needs and I will send over a clear, transparent number with a firm timeline.
My clients don't want AI-generated visuals. Is that a problem? +
Not at all. I work from your clients' real photos, projects, and footage. If a brand is open to AI-assisted graphics, I can bring that in. If not, it stays off the table.
Can you work alongside my in-house social media manager? +
That is the absolute sweet spot. They keep executing day-to-day posts, and I set up the visual systems, templates, and direction that make their job 10x faster.
Can you cover when someone on my team is away? +
Yes. That is what a libero is for. I step right in so your content calendar never misses a beat during PTO or sudden staff transitions.
What tools and software do you deliver work in? +
Whatever your team already uses. Whether it is Canva, Google Drive, Notion, Figma, or Metricool, I plug straight into your existing agency workflow.
How fast are your standard turnaround times? +
Most research-heavy projects like style decks and grid systems land in 1.5 to 2 weeks. I will always flag upfront if we can compress the timeline for urgent launches.
