How a creative team works is really important. Pick a team that works with you, not just for you. Here are two problems to avoid.
Problem #1: Too Passive
Some creative teams ask you to provide the “content” and they will put it online for you. With that approach, you shouldn’t expect much, and you shouldn’t pay much either. If you hire someone that just copies and pastes your content into some template they designed last year, you will be disappointed when the product doesn’t help grow your business.
Problem #2: Too Active
Other design teams make the opposite mistake—they take the project right out of your hands. Perhaps it’s a designer’s inflated ego, or a thirst for control—whatever the reason, it lowers the potential for greatness. Don’t let them grab the entire creative heart of the project. It’s your business—get involved in the creative work.
Solution: Co-Active Creativity
We don’t create for you, we create with you. Our collaborative approach hits the sweet spot. You get to be involved, and you get the benefit of a fresh perspective. The result is not just a better design, it’s a better business.
The Creative Process
After experiencing co-active creativity, some customers have decided to use our creative approach in their own work. Here’s an interactive graphic we use to illustrate the creative process.
