Who is this Orlando guy?

Frank Orlando

Often referred to as a, "jack-of-all-creative trades, a veritable renaissance man of imagination". At least that's what I told them to call me.

With with three decades of experience, I specialize in design and marketing consultancy for small business and non-profit organizations. I’ve collaborated with clients across diverse sectors, all while championing the idea that creativity and innovative solutions should be accessible to everyone.

Gather like minds, spread joy.

My guiding philosophy, "Gather like minds, spread joy," is a call to unite individuals who share similar values, ideas, and passions, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment.

Together, we create a space where we can exchange ideas and inspire one another. By connecting like-minded individuals, we cultivate creativity, innovation, and support, leading to stronger relationships and a safer atmosphere for growth.

Through this collaboration and shared creativity, a positive and uplifting environment can flourish. "Spread Joy" emphasizes making meaningful contributions to each other’s lives, enhancing well-being, one person at a time.

Altogether, "Gather like minds, spread joy", aspires to be a vision of collaboration that not only focuses on achieving goals but also highlights the positive impact and fulfillment that comes from working together joyfully and supportively.

Ask yourself: Why Orlando?

Choosing the right creative consultant can be challenging. To determine if your current partnership is truly effective, consider these four essential questions. It might be time to forge a new, lasting relationship that better aligns with your vision and supports your long-term goals..

Do they understand you and your industry?

Your creative must understand both you and your industry. Regardless of your specific needs, they should be well-versed in your target audience, have a clear grasp of your competitors, and the landscape in which you operate. This knowledge is essential for crafting strategies that resonate, drive results, and to be truly effective.

Have you learned anything new today?

Let me be frank (pun intended). No one has all the answers. It’s essential to trust that your creative has your best interests at heart. If seeking new insights feels like a stretch outside your 'comfort zone', and your current relationship feels off, it may be time to reassess. Embracing fresh perspectives and talent can lead to new growth — so ask yourself, have you learned anything new today?

Are they keeping up with your requirements?

Clearly defining your needs and expectations from the outset is crucial for success. If you’re frequently uncertain about what will be delivered, it can lead to 'scope creep' — resulting in unforeseen challenges that could jeopardize both your project and your budget. Ensuring alignment from the beginning is key to a smooth and successful collaboration.

Can we talk?
Seriously. Can we?

When was the last time you had an open conversation with your consultant? If it feels like you’re left in the dark, that’s a concern. There should be continuous communication that keeps you involved and informed. If you find yourself frequently wondering about the status of your project, it might be time to reconsider your relationship. Effective collaboration thrives on dialogue.
