Do you sometimes feel that bidding on advertising projects is a losing game, requiring hours of research and free spec work?
We do too. Even with differing opinions about how agencies should respond to these kinds of opportunities, some thinking them wasteful or limiting to creativity, perhaps a positive perspective on the process still exists. Instead of killing creativity, the structure just might become a challenge that grows your team by leaps and bounds.

You may not often see your agency’s creative team. An account executive with business and marketing expertise is the face of the agency, helping you through budgets, strategy and results. But what you may not consider is the fact that your account executive takes all those carefully typed notes back to writers and designers.
You may have all kinds of ideas regarding promotions, events and campaigns, but no matter how clever or unprecedented, these ideas can’t go out to meet the world on their own two feet. They have to be carefully packaged. This packaging takes time. It also takes expertise and a knowledge of basic design rules.

One of the first projects Emma tackled at UMG was creating a catchy but evergreen billboard design for one of the CDA offices. The board would be mainly promotional and would be placed in a small-town location. We needed to catch the attention of potential patients while still presenting them with basic information. The solution ended up being more fun than anything.
