Sounds like your creative either doesn’t care to listen to the brief or doesn’t agree with the brief. Either get new creatives on account or get strategy and creative to align on the brief but in before briefing the larger teams.
What’s your role?
The creative lead as in the CD? The ACD? Where is the ECD or CCO in all this? Are you at a traditional agency? This sounds like such an odd problem to have
Why is this odd, do you think? Where do you think the breakdown is happening?
Confusing is better than mid
Can you hire some freelancers? That tends to light a fire under everyone's butt
Why would you leave?
You need to be able to judge the creative against the brief, and clearly articulate why it does or doesn’t work from various angles: business objectives, target audience framework, competitive field, adherence to brand voices, and, after all that is addressed, is the idea/execution arresting and interesting, ie., is it creative.
Don’t leave. Do your job and in so doing, make the creatives do theirs.
