Question 1

Why hire Schu Creative instead of adding a full-time employee?

Accepted Answer

If you’re ready to bring on a full-time team member, that’s great! But I know budget realities are real. Many organizations need senior-level communications support, but the numbers just don't justify a full salary and benefits package. That’s where I come in.I fill the gap for organizations that need high-quality work without agency markup or full-time overhead. Whether you need someone to periodically keep your website fresh, or you're undergoing a massive overhaul and need someone to manage the day-to-day details and keep things moving, I’ve got you covered. You get honest pricing, dependable execution, and the peace of mind knowing it's taken care of.

Question 2

Do you only work with small-to-medium size businesses?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. While growing businesses and mid-market organizations are my sweet spot, my background includes leading strategy and communications for large enterprise institutions. Whether you’re an established local brand or a complex regional organization, I adapt my approach to fit your team's size, speed, and specific goals.
