How can I ensure the creative director understands my brand’s vision?
Share your brand’s story, mission, and values with them. Show past work and describe what you liked or didn’t like. This helps the creative director capture the look and feel you want.
What should be included in the project timeline?
Break the project into steps with deadlines for each. Include time for brainstorming, design drafts, and feedback. Check if your creative director can meet these timelines before starting.
How do I encourage collaboration between my team and the creative director?
Set up regular meetings or check-ins. Use tools for communication like emails or chat apps. Make sure your team shares ideas and feedback openly with the creative director.
