What Makes a Great Creative Director?


3% Conference - What makes a great Creative Director? from Pitch on Vimeo.

These are the comments that stood out to me:

  • The best ones teach you to survive without them.
  • A nurturer.
  • Very decisive.
  • Have a point of view.
  • Hire people who are better than you.
  • Do no harm.
  • The allow the work and the teams behind them to grow.
  • Part of your making is helping other people make.
  • It has to be purely about the work.
The best creative directors I've worked for hit all of these points. How well does your current creative director stack up?
