Creative Director · Sofia · EU & US
Ten years across design, art direction and creative direction — on campaigns for Heineken, Mastercard, National Geographic and UNHCR. I work across identity, campaigns and film, taking work from strategy to final delivery myself.
Viktor Manchev is a creative director based in Sofia, Bulgaria, working remotely with clients across the EU and US. He offers brand identity, packaging design, art direction and AI-produced brand films.
Two streams
Not a catalogue of everything. Two clear offers, each with its own page, its own price and its own proof.
01 · Design & Art Direction
How much are you paying an agency to do what one senior person could finish this month?
Brand identity, packaging, campaigns, presentations, motion and activation. Strategy through final artwork, by me. Day rate €400, projects from €1,200.
02 · AI Film
What would you make if the shoot cost nothing and the idea cost everything?
Brand films with a real idea, produced end to end through an AI pipeline in about two weeks. No crew, no location, no post house. From €3,500.
Process
Can one person really do this? Yes. The three steps are the same as an agency's. The difference is who is in step three.
Twenty minutes on the problem, the deadline and the budget. You get a fixed price and a start date within a day.
Directions presented with the reasoning behind them, not a gallery to pick from. You choose once, for the right reason.
I take the chosen direction to final artwork or final cut myself. No handover to a junior, no studio queue, one person accountable.
