About
The Creative MBA
Every Creative Director, graphic designer, web designer and agency rogue has suffered, at one point or another, from the stigma of being a “creative” person. Othat is to say, the expectation that our job is primarily to make things look pretty. Over time, I’ve discovered the secret to a successful partnership between creativity and corporate culture. Participate in establishing the marketing and sales objectives and then translate them into creative strategies that speak to the audience. That’s a lot more than picking colors and drag-and-drop layout.
Inside this blog, you’ll get access to my approach, thought process and examinations of business, corporate, and design culture and how they all fit together.
