Why Marketers/Creatives Hate Creatives/Marketers

Marketing is linear, literal and logical. Creative is non-linear, illogical and emotional. You need both to create great messaging; but they’re each talking in a language the other doesn’t understand. The result is endless revisions that cost you time, money and emotional well-being that can lead to burnout or turnover. Join us as we show you how to speak each other’s language and rebuild the relationship between your two teams. (You might even be willing to go out for a drink together. Someday.)
