Communications and design for organizations that don’t have time to babysit a vendor.
I work with small businesses and nonprofits that need reliable, professional communications support — but don't need (or can't afford) a full-time hire or an expensive agency relationship.
If you have a website that needs attention, social media that's going quiet, or design projects sitting in a backlog, I can help.
If you're vital to your community — a non-profit, a dentist that would be missed if you were gone, a bookstore — you're my kind of client.
I’m Brian Holaway — an independent communications consultant and design professional with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations show up well.
I’ve managed websites, run social media, produced video, and handled everything in between from strategy to project management. You’ll always work directly with me — no account managers, no handoffs to junior staff.
I also operate Simply Told where I offer unique teambuilding workshops featuring the Enneagram and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®.
Ongoing support or one-time projects — your call.
This isn’t everything. If you need it, ask.
Scheduling, posting, basic post graphics, Google Business profile management — handled.

Here are some basics – but it’s always ok to fill out that form and ask more questions.
We will discuss your project together – probably on Zoom or in-person.
If we work together, you’ll receive a link to a project board so you can keep up with where I am on your project, ask questions, and more.
You’ll always know how much time is involved and how much money you’re spending.
Other than that, different projects have different expectations. For example, a logo design will have a limited number of revisions unless you pay more. That’s standard and keeps the project on track.
If you have questions about specific kinds of projects, just reach out and I’ll provide details.
We’ll agree on expectations up front, but I’m not requesting signatures or official contracts.
If you prefer a formal agreement, I’m happy to provide one.
Either way, you pay. I do the work. We treat each other with respect.
You’ll pay in advance for any services, usually one month at a time.
If you want to work out a quarterly retainer for a lower cost, just let me know.
Some services are priced above. For other project work or custom retainers, you know what I’m about to say.
It depends.
Projects and organizational needs are different, which means there’s no one-size-fits all.
Expect prices to be competitive and, in my opinion, completely reasonable.
There’s a living I have to make, and there’s a budget you have to stay within. We’ll work with the two.
