FAQ
Creative questions
What brand and marketing leads ask when building creative capability in-house versus buying it in.
In-house studio, agency or freelance?
+
In-house suits high-volume, always-on content; agencies suit big campaigns and brand work; freelance fills spikes. Most brands blend all three — the skill is knowing which work belongs where.
Do I need a generalist or a specialist?
+
Early on, a versatile designer who can also handle basic motion is gold. At scale, a bit of everything becomes a liability — you need real depth in design, copy and video.
What does a Creative Director actually add?
+
They hold the idea and the standard — turning strategy into work that's on-brand and actually good. Without one, you get output that's busy but inconsistent, and juniors with no one to learn from.
How do I hire creatives if I'm not creative?
+
Judge the portfolio against the brief, not just the aesthetics — can they solve a problem, not only make things pretty? Bring a creative voice into the interview; that's often where we help.
Freelance or permanent for creative?
+
Permanent for brand consistency and institutional knowledge; freelance for campaign spikes and specialist skills like motion or 3D. Senior freelance day rates move fast — brief tightly to control cost.
