What's a Creative Business Consultant?

Oh no, not another consultant!

Do you know what your profit margin is? Does your firm's marketing describe what you have to offer in a unique and compelling way? Is your staff and workflow built to make things easier for you and your clients? Having worked in almost every type of creative environment, from startups to global Fortune 200s, I have a lot to share. Working early on as a designer, art director, and later as a creative director, business development lead, business owner, and morale booster, I'm leveraging first-hand bumps and bruises to bring you best practices in running the business side of a creative entity.

Shaking the tree of a creative business

There is no shortage of creative genius out there, but Kolbrener Consulting brings you help with the other side of the brain, yeah, that left side. You can shake a tree and out will fall 100 creative geniuses. Still, only 4 or 5 will drop who have the interest, understanding, and willingness to make the financial, operational, and strategic decisions to help turn that creativity into a long-term, viable business. So, it's with great pleasure that I jump into this and hope to meet you along the journey!
