471 Creative Director Reviews

"I no longer work at this company. I loved the people I worked with and my supervisor was fantastic. The office space was conducive to great ideas, learning and enjoying the job."

"I love the thrilling process of taking an idea and building it to completion, in determining the correct route a company should take in building its brand and perception. Moreover, I love working with users to figure out how to revise and iterate into an even better product. Building things, it's pretty sweet."

"I love being able to execute one idea through every medium. Also having the idea for the big picture and inspiring designers to create towards the big picture is thrilling and exciting."

"I love the mentoring and leadership role that the position offers, however, there are times I do miss being directly involved in the production of the work."

"I love bringing new projects to life across multiple platforms. The downside, of course, is that new media start-ups are fragile so you need a hide of titanium to survive the constant buffeting!"

"Timings are the worst thing in my job. The rest is like being in the playground of the school... let's work! is like let's play!"

"I love design. I can lose myself in the possibilities a blank screen offers. There is, for me, nothing like the feeling of designing the perfect brand, brochure, site. It satisfies me deeply. Then to see the look on the client's face and know that he knows I really got him."

"Love: The arena is wide open and I have creative control, owning the project from start to finish. Hate: Sometimes I have a dimensional creative interaction with a client and then lose touch with that client over the course of time."

"Managing people can take lots of time compared to the design part."

"Love the creative challenge. Hate to babysit."

"I love the diversity of project s I get to work on. I love mentoring and growing talent. The one area I am not satisfied is that due to the marketing director's position being eliminated, I have had to take on the marketing function, and it is not my main area of expertise, nor is it in alignment with my career goals."

"I love everything about my line of work. My biggest problem is that I enjoy it a bit too much and find a need to balance things with outdoor activities and family time. It is very easy to get caught up in the Matrix and forget the world exists."

"While the work is fast-paced, challenging, and will help you grow professionally if you're younger, it is also very frustrating to constantly have to think outside the box, although having a strong team to back you can make it easier. The workload can be a lot week-by-week and there are many times where I've easily worked 60+ hours, but at the end of it all it's very fulfilling to get a campaign off the ground and see it become successful."

"There is no other job that epitomizes the American Dream so thoroughly as that of the Creative Director. My freedom is as great as this job's danger to my health and security, for my days are my own completely, but my future is also mine to dismantle... as I am the captain at the helm of every client's project... helping it succeed, or fail."

"Solving complex problems with simple solutions."
