Studio

A name on the door. Work that ships.

An independent practice for people who want one person accountable — design, copy and the awkward middle.

Write directly See the work

What we do

Project sprints

Two to six weeks, a defined artefact.

Retainer

A few hours a week that actually exist.

Reviews

Someone else’s deck, marked in red.

Written scopes

What ships, what does not, the week it ends. Dave Repsher does not do ‘we’ll see’ retainers.

No junior relay

The person you wrote is the person who works.

Honest calendar

If this month is full, it is full.

Who this is for

Small teams

Who want one name on the door.

Founders

Who are tired of a pod that vanishes.

Editors

Who need a ruthless pass, not more slides.

How a typical job runs

  1. 1. Direct mail

    The ask, the artefact, the date.

  2. 2. Scope

    Two to six weeks, or a few hours a week that exist.

  3. 3. Make

    Design, copy, the awkward middle.

  4. 4. Review someone else’s deck

    Red marks. Then stop.

About Dave Repsher

Small retainers, clear scopes, no junior relay. If I cannot do it this month, I say so.

An independent practice for people who want one person accountable — design, copy and the awkward middle.

Dave Repsher will not become your on-call brand department. The work has a start and a box it ships in.

The last deck and the political constraint help. ‘Make it pop’ does not.

What happens after you write

Write [email protected] with the artefact and the week it must exist. You get a yes, a later month, or a no.

Questions people actually ask

Are you a studio or a person?
A person. That is the product.
Equity instead of fees?
Almost never. Say it first if that is the offer.
Can you start Monday?
Look at the calendar I send. I will not lie to win the thread.
Workshops?
Rare. A defined artefact is the default.
NDAs?
Fine. Still a written scope.
