Backbone, Not Backup

Backbone, Not Backup


Perspective:

Your creative department isn't a "support" function.

It's the backbone of your brand, and it should be treated like it.


Action:

Make your creative team a priority. Give it enough budget and a say in big decisions.

Tell them to focus on real results—like more clicks or sales—and track those numbers.

Let them run the execution and hold them accountable.
