About Creative Consulting

The experience behind your next move.

I’m Dennis Harrington, Founder & Creative Lead of Creative Consulting. I help businesses and organizations turn their priorities into clear messaging, useful websites and creative work they can put into action.

Based in Hamilton, Ontario. 20 years of experience in brand, digital strategy and creative leadership. You work directly with me to understand the challenge, set a clear direction and carry it through to delivery.

Creative decisions grounded in your business

A website, campaign or presentation has a job to do. It needs to help the right people understand your value and know what to do next.

I start with your audience, the business priority and the material you already have. Then I connect the message, design and delivery so the work has a clear purpose. I can lead a focused project or work alongside your team on agreed creative priorities.

Experience that carries into the work

My background combines independent consulting with creative and marketing leadership inside organizations.

Making complex services clear

As Director of Marketing and Communications at Lawrie Insurance Group, I led brand repositioning and digital work across messaging, identity, websites and sales materials. That experience informs how I help businesses explain their services and communicate their value.

Connecting a mission to its audience

As Creative Director at Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation, I led campaigns, digital work and fundraising communications, including website redevelopment. The work called for clear storytelling, coordination with subject matter experts and consistent creative standards.

Keeping a brand consistent across channels

My experience with Just Keep Livin’ and Bluenotes spans brand work, retail campaigns, digital experiences and creative production. I bring that attention to the places where customers encounter your business.

I also teach graphic design and interactive media at Toronto Film School. That work carries into the clear feedback and practical guidance I bring to client projects.
