It is not you. It is the industry. So often, I find companies trying to hire a Graphic Designer -- Social Media Manager -- Paid Advertising Specialist -- for this magical all-in-one position. For a moment, let's just imagine The Beatles were made up of just Paul McCartney. Imagine Paul McCartney trying to play every single instrument in a live show. Doesn't really work, right? He was a lot more successful as a member of a band just in general. I truly question if companies grasp that they are trying to hire three full-time positions in one. I also wonder if they grasp that this person does not exist because it is impossible to play every instrument at one time, as per the above comparison. I do not even know of someone who can do all three of those things in a single day -- day in and day out. I do not think that it is even mentally or physically healthy for one person to try and do that every day. Burnout will happen immediately, and the quality of work will suffer tremendously. There is hardly anyone out there who has the ability to do all three of those things at equally high levels. Some people can do a little bit of this and a little bit of that while being really good at one of those things. This is why you hire a senior project manager, first, who has knowledge in all those digital media spaces, who you can then build a team around. That's how it should be done. #digitalmarketing #graphicdesign #hiringprocess #hiringmanagers #paidmarketing #marketingdigital

Client: "Can we try this idea?" Me: "No problem, here's how we make it happen" This was for a video concept they wanted to test on social. I gave their managing director some talking points, a script, and quarterbacked the editing of the video. First draft ready one week later. No teams have a shortage of great marketing ideas, they just have a shortage of time, energy, and bandwidth to execute fast. Think of me as a content execution partner, someone who gets things done fast and at high quality. The first thing I do is onboard like you were hiring a new member for your team (I recently learned patent law in 2 weeks to write a case study) without you having to hire a full time person on your team. That full time person usually ends up hiring an agency to help anyways, I come with graphic designers, video editors included (and ofc I do all the writing) If you are looking to up the pace of your marketing (socials, product videos, sales collateral, case studies), would love to chat :)

We are hiring our first in-house Creative Director. The below are some of the central beliefs of how we do creative at Yoco, if they resonate with you, then perhaps you will love leading the team who brings them to life: Challenge the norm We are a challenger brand, we inspire entrepreneurs to see passed the BS of how other brands portray and market to entrepreneurs. Our creative should challenge the norm. If something is a category norm, we should relentlessly pursue the opposite. Authenticity always Being authentic is central to what differentiates us. Our authenticity stems from the fact we understand the challenges of building a business. Authenticity means our advertising isn’t always happy. It's real. Offer hope, use emotion Running a business is incredibly hard. We won’t sugarcoat it. But we will always offer hope. We believe that the best and most effective marketing has emotion at the centre. Aim for extraordinary Creating in the minds of our customers an extraordinary brand requires doing things in extraordinary ways. We are aiming for firsts and we don’t need to be perfect or nail it every time. Fresh consistency, not consistent freshness Building an iconic brand means investing in distinctive and ownable assets and a clear and consistent voice. We believe in the power of fresh consistency, and know that the first people who get tired of our ideas is us.

Why is it so hard to hire a world-class Design Director in LA who's exceptional at building iconic brands? It's not what you may expect... Everyone wants to hire them. But not everyone can. Branding agencies want them. Advertising agencies want them. And in-house teams want them. The problem is... Which one of the above is going to future-proof my career as a design leader? I think most people presume in-house. The biggest companies in the world can offer some really big paycheques. But I think they might be underestimating the power of design agencies... Particularly design agencies that have always focussed on what they are exceptional at. Building unforgettable brands that pave the future of great design through experimentation, exploration and boundless creativity that the rest of us will actually see. Leading a team to create the best design work with global names and brands of the future, where every day is different and every day you're creating work that will make an impact on the world. At UNKNOWN I'm lucky enough to be working with a design agency that is truly at the very top of their game, and only getting better. Design Director LA BASED (Hybrid) sally@weareunknown.io
