Creative Cohort is a place for creative directors who want to learn how to get better at what they do by sharing stories and advice, commiserating, mentoring and more.
But say you’re not a creative director. Maybe you’re a student studying design or advertising, a coffee fetcher, production artist, copywriter, art director, freelancer,… whatever. You just want to know what makes a creative director tick (other than frayed nerves and caffeine) and maybe you’d like to find the path that will take your career in this direction. You’ve come to the right place.
This site came about after a few different discussions between a couple of local CDs. We were sharing ideas about how to get better at what we do all day, and I realized that we were asking a lot of the same questions. A quick Google search revealed that there are lot of people with the same questions. But outside of a handful of good blog posts, there really aren’t that many answers out there.
If all goes as planned, Creative Cohort will become the answer to the question of how to be better creative director.
So far, seven other creative directors have volunteered to contribute to Creative Cohort. They come from all over the globe with a diverse set of experiences and insights to share. In the days ahead, you’ll start to see this site come alive with their thoughts on management, education, hiring, strategy, motivation and more.
You can keep up with the Cohort via our feed [ RSS or email ]. Without further ado, welcome to Creative Cohort. Now jump in on the discussions with your own questions, ideas and insights.
