Creative Execution
From Advertising to Packaging, the Creative process will make the Difference
No matter how efficient your organisation's other processes may be, you're almost certainly experiencing endless rounds of revisions in the development of creative execution—ads, emails, packaging graphics, press releases, and the like.
You may not have shown much interest in the project early on, but now that creative is ready to review, the opinions are likely coming in droves and impossible to fully accommodate. With luck, the loop of feedback and revisions occurs during the draft or mock-up phase; but, unfortunately, the review frequently happens after the photo shoot or launch of the website.
A lack of attention to the creative brief is understandable—carefully reviewing a strategic outline is challenging, whereas reacting to a creative execution is much easier. An organization can make changes either early in the process, when they're cheap or later, when they're expensive. Managing this process is crutial.
Avoiding "design by committee" is obviously the best solution. When that's not an option, following these common-sense but rarely observed rules will stop the endless rounds of revisions. More important, they'll ensure the creative maintains the clarity your campaign deserves.
