🌱 What is ‘taste’ - and how do you judge it? 🌹 How do you build a design team? 🪴 How do I maximise the talent already in the studio? 🤔 What skills should I hire for? While we know for sure that every creative hiring brief is different, a lot of the questions we get asked are the same. Today, we launch 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭. Our response to the ten most pressing questions being asked of creative talent today. If you’re grappling with these same questions, don’t worry - we’ve done the digging for you. Based on our own talent and hiring insights, alongside conversations with global creative leaders in varied fields, we’re giving you the answers. Plus, some food for thought; green shoots, a new hypothesis on the creative economy, and questions to ask within your own business.

Freelancing is an essential, exciting, and enduring, sector of the creative industry. Last year alone, we sourced and placed over 17,000 days of freelance support across 14 countries. 🌸 But knowing how to become a freelance creative, and actually creating a blossoming long-term career, are two very different things. In our latest journal, we break down how to position yourself clearly and build a freelance-ready portfolio, as well as things like setting your rates with confidence and finding freelance work. Practical advice for creatives considering freelance for the first time, returning to it, or trying to build a more sustainable freelance career. 🤝 Check out our journal. Is there something you need more specific advice on? Drop a comment 👇🏻 #freelance #freelancelife #freelancing #flexibleworking #fractionalhires by @movewithcraft

Super niche or generalist? 🤔 It’s a question all creatives have asked themselves. We’re probably asking it now more than ever. For some, being hyperfocused on one thing is a way of life. For @studio__kiln, they know that broadening their horizon is the right thing to do. We sat down with Co-founders Charlie and Nathan to dig in to their Failures and Fortunes, on the latest episode of Design Next. by @movewithcraft

Three talks. A brief history of time, told through the medium of emojis and pixels. One dose of creative whiplash. Here are the highlights from Common Matters #10 in Manchester. 🔥 Annie House of @okcool begged us all to be less mid. After all, “If you can’t thrill at the pub, you can’t thrill anywhere.” ⏳ Benji Wiedemann and Alex Lampe of @wiedemannlampe zoomed right out, to the full scope designing for change that plays out over generations. 🔍 Zeynep Akay of @dalton.maag made the case for treating accessibility as a sliding scale, with critical thinking ruling over checklists. All different: nobody taking the easy route. Next stop? New York and London. Come say hey 👋 Wanna watch the video? Our youtube link’s in our bio 📽️ And a reminder: Common Matters happens because we have friends in high places. @gfsmithpapers are our event partners this year - they are the most well-connected, inspired, joyful paper merchants in the industry. Thank Josh for joining us on the evening and sharing the paper goodies! by @movewithcraft

Build a company that doesn’t make sense. Because when you go with your gut, you’ll achieve so much more. The fourth season of our podcast takes on the theme of Failures & Fortunes. @vervetheagency Co-founder and Managing Director Roman Stikkelorum makes building an agency over two decades look like success comes easily. But actually, the road is paved with failures... Thank you Roman for sharing your story with us. From the small failures we all work on every day, through to selling your company and buying it back again, from rebranding Miro to repositioning your agency: nothing quite compares to going with your gut and taking a risk. After all, no company run on spreadsheet-results alone will ever produce work like this. 🔥 Tune in 🎙️ Links in bio by @movewithcraft

🚨 Warning: this event may give you creative whiplash 🚨 Speaker announcement: The co-founders of global brand consultancy @wiedemannlampe are joining us on stage in Manchester next month for Common Matters #10. Why the whiplash? Because we’ll be launching straight from OK COOL’s Head of Strategy Annie House hot take on how to be less mid, and how to serve instant thrill factor... ... and straight into a talk about the ultimate long-term design strategy: How to design for intergenerational change, in a world that seems to be running out of time. 😮‍💨 Benji Wiedemann and Alex Lampe have built their business on building for the future. The systems that shape society aren’t won in a single move. Energy transitions take decades to land. Education systems shape a generation before their impact is even visible. Cities take even longer still: cultural anchors, public realm, districts and whole city systems that only reveal what they mean once people have lived inside them for years. None of this happens through sudden transformation. It happens through seeds planted deliberately, season after season, until something durable takes root. 🌵 Ticket link in bio ⬆️ by @movewithcraft
