Creative Directors that don’t design anymore, what do you show on your websites? Is it okay to show my teams work on my website (crediting them of course) even though I just oversaw the design work?

Your job is to creative direct. Anything you directed can go on your site.

If you’re a CD looking for CD jobs showing work on your CD website, don’t waste time crediting anyone. I won’t read it, don’t know those people, and don’t care. You’re a CD FFS, I assume a team did the actual writing and design. That’s their job…

Your job is to direct, so I want work with narrative and strategic insight.

It’s safe to say then that crediting the team members will have no impact on your review of the website, right? Why not include them then? Other ECD’s may be hardos for shouting at the collaborations.

Yes.

Yep, show the full campaign. Credit where needed.

You are allowed to put any campaign that you influenced somehow. Just don’t be an ass and be sure you say what’s your role there and give credits.

Can I be a creative leader without managing?
