As a pothead, I saved the world a dozen times over with my ideas but never pushed the ideas forward. Eventually they are all forgotten till someone else does it.

I very spontaneously ended up doing creative direction and have been kinda winging it for a few months now I`m ready to actually level up and brush my skills - this was very valuable!

Kevin! I was looking forward to this video. And I was not disappointed. Such great advice and they all ring true. Especially the points about you being a PARTNER that cares and listens (and not a slick salesman), and setting the groundwork from the BEGINNING to get everyone nodding in agreement and on your side. It’s a great feeling when you can sense people being intrigued and literally leaning in, rooting for you. There’s nothing more satisfying than witnessing a solid, tight presentation. Awesome video!

I just discovered your channel and it’s the most helpful thing ever!!! Thank you so much for this content! Quick question tho… I know you have said portfolio beats education but after a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, what Masters program do you recommend in order to enter the AD world? A Masters in Advertising? Or just straight up a Masters in Art Direction?

Thank you!! If there is a masters in art direction at your university, I would definitely do that. If you are going to go higher education, I would go to a portfolio school or take a portfolio program. OR do it from scratch. I have a book on Amazon called Breaking into Art Direction aimed on doing just that. In the meantime, check out my video titled “What should you major in to become an art director”. Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll do my best to help.

Excellent points. Question: when you pitch the whole design concept, is it usually done with a retainer? I mean, you have to put in a lot of time and skills to create the presentation, are there any compensations for that? Thanks!

Typically your client is paying on retainer or project based. Developing the presentation is typically billed just the same as concepting, designing, etc. - it’s all part of the same project. Now, if you’re pitching a new business against others/other agencies, that’s another animal altogether. In the past, pitching new clients came at little to no cost (aka the cost of doing business). Nowadays it’s a trickier topic. Pitch fees are much more common as agencies assemble their best people to spend time solving potential client’s business problems. I’ve also seen firsthand an idea get pitched, the agency going with another agency, and implementing the unpicked agencies concept. For that reason, I think it is imperative that the client (whether you’ve landed them or not) pays for the hours and work provided. But, that’s just my opinion. Honestly, a whole legitimate convo for another video. Hope that ramble answered your question haha

@@OpenDoorCreative perfectly. Definitely has to protect intellectual property whether the client decides to commit or not. Pitching a new client is like interviewing for a job. They can sample a portfolio of works already completed but no new concepts without initial design fees. I used to be a custom cake designer and was very firm on how much I gave away on initial designs.

@@OpenDoorCreative also please make a video on fee structures, I see you already like the idea. With all that said I subscribed to your channel because I find it very valuable but don't work in the industry myself. My daughter is interested in an advertising major and I was looking at colleges the more I read the more I liked the profession. Haha.
