Lake Media Collective partners with modern brands to deliver strategy-led creative work across branding, digital experiences, websites, marketing collateral, content, experiential and print. We flex to meet you where you are—whether you need focused design support or a full creative partner.

You’ll work directly with Gwen. Depending on the scope of the project, Gwen may bring in trusted collaborators from her professional network to support specific needs—always tailored to the work at hand.

Both. We work with early-stage startups, growing mid-size companies and established brands. Our model is designed to scale up or down, making stratgic creative support accessible at any stage.

We offer flexible engagement models, including project-based work, retainers and long-term partnerships. Some clients come to us for a single initiative, while others work with us on an ongoing basis as an extension of their team.

Yes. Many clients choose to work with Lake Media Collective on a retainer or ongoing basis. This can include dedicated design support, marketing collateral, campaign development or ongoing brand and digital work. Retainers are customized based on scope, timelines and level of support needed.

Pricing is based on scope, complexity and timeline. We provide clear estimates or monthly rates upfront so there are no surprises. Whether it’s a one-off project or an ongoing engagement, we’ll align on expectations before work begins.

Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with in-house teams, agencies, developers and other partners. Our role is to complement your existing resources—not replace them.

We lead strategy, design and creative execution. For development or specialized production needs, we can either manage execution directly or collaborate with trusted partners—or work alongside your existing vendors.

We start with a discovery conversation to understand your goals, timelines and constraints. From there, we define scope, align on deliverables and establish a clear plan before moving into execution.

It depends on scope, but we recommend reaching out at least a few weeks in advance when possible. That said, we understand timelines can move quickly and will always try to accommodate urgent needs.

Reach out through the contact form, or email us directly at gwen@lakemediacollective.com. We’ll schedule an initial conversation to understand your needs and determine if we’re a good fit.
