It’s always nerve-wracking to put a team together to accomplish your vision. We have put together the five most important qualities in a creative team. This is what to look for in individuals to ensure that the team functions well and that your vision can be fulfilled.
Passion is arguably the most important quality of any creative that you hire. Having passion for the project can provide new ideas and new angles. Passion has a way of flowing into the project and making it feel richer and more vibrant. If you watch a few television commercials, it is pretty clear which ones had a group that was passionate about their project and which ones were just doing a job. Passion will increase the quality in almost every way.
As important as the creative aspects are, your team’s organizational skills are even more so. After all, a fantastic video script and great special effects won’t help you if your team misses their deadline. Your team needs project and time management skills so that deadlines can be met.
Having strong communication skills will help in every aspect of your creative team’s job. First, a strong communicator will be able to describe your mission and values in a way that makes your customers care. Having a great copywriter will ensure that customers want to support your business.
In addition, proper communication among team members will ensure that the project runs smoother and that your team will be more confident in asking questions about your vision of the project. When you have thousands of dollars on the table, make sure that your team has good communication skills. It will eliminate costly misunderstandings.
Experience is worth paying for. Don’t skimp on your creative team, spend a little more for someone that knows what they are doing. It may be tempting to go with the cheaper creative, but when large companies skimp on their video production team, it shows. It also has the effect of subconsciously telling your audience that you don’t think much of your product or service because you are unwilling to invest the money to make it look good. More experience will result in better quality work, which is worth more money.
Make sure that all of your creative team can work together to achieve the group’s goals. You do not want a team comprised of independent workers, it could damage the flow of the overall project. Make sure that your team understands that the success of the team is the success of the individual and likewise that the failure of the team is the failure of everyone.
