Struggle with this too.
I just use my regular title: Design Director
I say: consultant or contractor. Freelance just makes it seem like I do birthday party invitations and I think design is "fun"

In the same boat, I opted for Design Consultant.
I specifically avoided 'brand' despite it being what I do simply because it's still a much-misunderstood term.
Clients are either suspicious of it or think it relates to identities.
The all get 'Design'.

Art Director & Designer
If that's all you have to offer...
- I offer digital marketing, branding, design, and web... so I call myself Chief Strategist... sounds like I'm smahtcanoe
- Isn't this a little redundant though? As an Art Director you're pretty much a more experienced designer...sofakingback
- Art directors are stylists.monoboy
- mmm... ok. but still, a designer is a lower level of that. How ever you want to define it. I expect an Art Director to do what a designer does and more...sofakingback
- canoe, what you list I would call a Design Director. While, I agree design is strategy, you will confuse someone with Chief Strategist.sofakingback
- I focus on the exact same things you have listed and I use Design Director. just my 2 cents.sofakingback

Good example to look at when branding, per virtue, starts to feel blurry in context of the needs of small business/clients...

B2B clients always have a tough time with branding because they rarely make the connection between Pepsi and customer service... yet client relations is always part of their value prop and mission state...
If all else fails tie branding into strategy?
