How We Work

We help brands simplify their message, find the signal, and amplify it everywhere it matters.

The Challenge

As brands grow and change, creative gets harder to manage. More teams, more partners, more channels. The work keeps moving, but without clear direction it starts to drift. That moment might call for a first real brand system, a sharpened identity, or a campaign that brings focus back to the story.

That moment might call for a first real brand system, a sharpened identity, or a campaign that brings focus back to the story being told.

The Answer

ACD partners with brands at those moments. We define what matters, establish a clear signal, and turn it into work that shows up consistently across brand, campaign, and digital touchpoints. Senior leadership stays close to the work from start to finish. Fewer layers. Sharper output.

Avantaggio Creative + Design

ACD is led by Chris Avantaggio, a Maine based creative director with nearly two decades of experience helping brands find focus and grow with confidence. Before launching ACD, Chris spent years inside full-service agencies, leading creative teams, shaping campaigns, and helping build award-winning work for regional and national brands, including contributing to multiple Small Agency of the Year wins. He also knows what it’s like to build from zero. Chris founded LiveME, a Maine lifestyle brand that started as a single t‑shirt design and grew into a long-running apparel company. That entrepreneurial lens keeps ACD grounded in what matters most: clarity, conversion, and consistency.
