The Creative Dilemma

Creative is the key to differentiation and growth

The quality of the creative determines up to 75% of marketing performance. But, with multiple campaigns, channels, and formats, and the need to test assets to learn what works: How can companies keep up with the design demand while ensuring consistency and quality? There are 3 common approaches:
In-house Creative Teams
Greater control of the creative process and easy integration of design and business strategy
Deep understanding of the brand identity to deliver genuine design work
Focus on creative strategy beyond design production
Higher costs including salaries, benefits, and overhead expenses
Limited breadth of creative capabilities and lack of access to the latest design technology
Recruitment challenges to find, manage, and retain talent, and risk of design operations disruption if they leave
Agencies
Face-to-face collaboration and direct input into the design process
Established reputation within an industry when looking for a trusted partner
High specialization and track record of successful projects in their area of expertise
Limited control of the creative team and design operations, and lack of flexibility to adapt to changing creative needs or scope
Longer turnaround times due to inefficient project management and limited resources
Locked-in retainer contract with higher bills to compensate for excessive operating costs
Freelancers
Direct communication with the designer on a project-by-project basis
Flexibility to respond to changes in scope or direction
Lower cost depending on the breadth of skills and the number of freelancers required
Limited accountability —and availability— to meet deadlines and deliver top-quality work
Limited range of creative skills, implying a network of freelancers to account for every required capability
Time-consuming onboarding where you have to start over with every request
The Leading Design Subscription
