what we bring to the table

fractional leadership

At Reo Creative Consultancy, fractional leadership means you get the expertise and strategic vision of a Director of Visualization, without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.

We embed into your team part-time or on a project basis, guiding your visualization strategy, optimizing workflows, mentoring staff, and introducing new tools and processes. You gain all the benefits of senior-level leadership - creative direction, technical expertise, and proven industry experience - while only paying for the time and scope you need.

It’s flexible, scalable, and designed to help you deliver better visuals, faster, with less overhead.

Client
We’re a ~50-person architecture firm. Assets live on shared drives and desktops. People can’t find the right digital asset quick enough.
Reo
We’ll implement a centralized DAM with a clean taxonomy and ingest rules. Versioning + previews make “the right one” obvious.
Client
AI experiments are happening, but outputs aren’t consistent. Some look great, others miss our style.
Reo
We’ll add AI governance: approved tools, prompt/seed library, look-dev presets, training. AI supports ideation and final imagery.
Client
Our designers know the basics in Enscape and Photoshop, but the outputs feel inconsistent. Some images look polished, others look rushed.
Reo
We’ll run focused workshops in Enscape and Photoshop—covering settings, lighting, and post techniques. The result: faster, consistent visuals that align with your brand. Checklists reduce rework.
Client
If we roll this out in 6–8 weeks, what’s the impact?
Reo
Typical: search 25–30% → 5–8%, concept cycles 40–60% faster, rework down 25–40%. Fewer rush-outsourced tasks.
Client
What’s the rollout plan for a team our size?
Reo
Weeks 1–2: audit + taxonomy + ingest rules. Weeks 3–4: DAM wiring + AI presets + stage gates. Weeks 5–6: training + KPI dashboard + go-live.

Client
I keep hearing about the Reo Knowledge Hub. What is it, and why should my team care?
Reo
It’s a private Slack/Teams channel where your team has direct access to senior visualization leadership. Real-time answers, templates, and asset support—without adding full-time headcount. And when we are unavailable, our Custom AI reo slackbot trained on our knowledge base is there, 24/7!
Client
So it’s like having a consultant on call? Sounds expensive.
Reo
Not at all. For less than 20% of a senior hire’s salary, you get continuous guidance. Most firms see 60–75% savings versus hiring a full-time Director of Visualization.
Client
What about measurable results? My leadership will want numbers.
Reo
Teams typically cut asset search from 25–30% of time to under 8%, slash outsourcing spend by half, and reduce rework by 25–40%. That’s your ROI, week after week.
Client
And my team just asks questions directly in the Hub?
Reo
Exactly. Designers drop work-in-progress, we give targeted feedback, share best practices, and supply ready-to-use assets. It’s like having a Director in the room—fractionally.
Client
If we cut even 20% of wasted time across 50 people, that’s huge. This could pay for itself fast.
Reo
That’s the point: rapid ROI. Most firms recoup the cost in under 2 months. After that, it’s pure savings and better output.

Calculate exactly how much you'll save with fractional leadership vs. a full-time hire.

Future-proof your team. Maintain your edge.

Most visualization directors work full-time for a single firm, but that’s not always realistic for every architecture, interior design, or creative practice. Fractional leadership gives you access to director-level expertise, only when you need it, without the cost and overhead of a permanent hire.

When you bring Reo Creative Consultancy on board, you’re not just solving today’s problems - you’re setting your team up for long-term success. Once we’ve completed your core projects (such as workflow optimization, digital asset management, or software integration), we can continue as your fractional Director of Visualization to guide strategy, technology adoption, and process refinement.

Why Ongoing Support Matters

  • Future-Proofing Your Team – The visualization industry evolves quickly; ongoing leadership ensures your team stays ahead of the curve.

  • Consistent Standards & Quality – Maintain the systems, processes, and visual identity we’ve built together.

  • Fast, Informed Decision-Making – Gain a trusted advisor who understands your team, workflows, and business goals.

  • Flexible Access to Expertise – Get high-level input without the cost of a full-time director’s salary, benefits, and overhead.
