Want to establish quick, reactive line of creative idea comms with the client (for timely executions). Running things by accounts destroys the process. Either they become wannabe CDs or evil “clients” …with feedback that makes effort never ending, instead of putting the idea in front of the client. What can be done? CD is new to the agency and is trying to figure out the client relationship.

Creative sprints generally bring client in more frequently and are a collaborative way to engage. But ongoing, your CD needs to do their job and correct the situation with the account team. It’s a good learning opportunity for you, as well, if you want to get into creative management. Selling the work to your partners is just as important as selling it to the clients. If they have bad feedback, find persuasive and positive ways to get them to see why the work is right. Half the job of a CD is sales and politics. Knowing how to move people to your POV is a powerful skill. The worse the account people are at their job, the better you need to be at selling and defending the work.

I’ve been in community corrections for almost two years. I love what I do in case management, for inmates working on reentry but I would like to explore other job roles and start making a better income. I’m really interested in tech and project management roles. I just do not know where to start far as getting my foot in the door with either industry. I have a BA criminology, I adjust to quick changes, I thrive in fast paced environments and I learn quick. I have a great work ethic.
