The editor and the creatives who sat through directing the entire edit. That should be it. Maybe the producer. Maybe.

Meh. So the account team, strategy and designers who hustled for months to get the client to sign off on a shoot can’t enjoy it? That’s lame. There’s plenty of work that has happened before you can edit something. And without all that work, you wouldnt even have edited it. The most talented people I met are more generous than that.

Everyone who worked on giving the editor something to edit deserve credit. (It’s true because it rhymes)
That includes strategists.

Who cares. We all work hard. As if a creative wouldn’t post a lion in creative strategy or design.
Say you strategically led an award winning campaign. But I don’t get the strategy awards. And you don’t get the film craft awards.
It's never about the credit for me. I genuinely enjoy working on projects and seeing them come to life in production.
Sounds like everyone gets a prize. Split that Radio Mercury award money into everyone in the agency that was around too. Lol.
To me it depends on how interlaced the edit and the idea are. For a very basic example.. if you worked on that Nike split screen campaign “You can’t stop sport” and you’re the strategist behind it, and from the very first meeting you supported/helped sell a split screen idea execution, then I think it’s fair to take credit too. However, if the edit has nothing to do with the strategy and came to fruition completely after your involvement and did something tremendous for the work, then you shouldn’t count it. You probably know this in your heart.
