Creative talent without the hiring cycle
Hiring a senior creative director takes months, and an agency retainer can be more than a growing team needs. Satellite Black gives you senior creative direction plus the hands to execute: design, development and video. You can start in days, not quarters.
What we do for tech companies
- Brand identity and refreshes: logos, visual systems and guidelines that grow with the product.
- Product marketing design: launch assets, feature graphics, decks, one-pagers and social.
- Websites and landing pages: designed and built for speed, search, AI visibility and conversion.
- Launch and explainer video: product videos, demos, recruiting films and social cuts.
- Data visualization: charts and graphics that make complex products and metrics easy to understand.
- Design systems: reusable components and templates so your team can move fast and stay on-brand.
Ways to work together
- Fractional creative director: a set number of days a month, embedded with your marketing or product team.
- Project studio: fixed scope and timeline for a brand, site or launch.
- Overflow capacity: extra senior hands when your in-house team is at capacity.

Common questions
What is a fractional creative director?
A senior creative leader who works with your company part-time or by project instead of as a full-time hire. They set the creative direction, keep the brand consistent, and either produce the work or direct the people who do.
Can you work inside our team's tools and process?
Yes. We're comfortable working in your Slack, Figma, Notion, Jira or Asana, joining standups when useful, and shipping code to your repository when a project includes development.
Do you handle both design and development?
Yes. The same team designs and builds websites, landing pages and interactive pieces, so nothing gets lost between design and code.
How do engagements usually work?
Usually as a monthly retainer for ongoing creative direction and production, or as a fixed-scope project for things like a brand refresh, website or product launch.
