In Part 1 of “Turning To-Do into Ta-Da: How a Creative Agency Can Lighten Your Workload,” we discussed how creative agencies bring companies to life through website design and branding. But presence and identity are not the only indicators of success. High-stakes projects, deadlines, and deliverables are the backbone of businesses’ success. Today, we’ll talk about project management and annual reports, and how creative agencies can turn your daunting to-do lists into stress-free results.
Project Management
One hidden benefit creative agencies bring with them is project management. When companies hire creative agencies, they’re not only gaining access to designers, writers, and marketers; they also reap the benefits of robust and professional project managers who keep their to-do list organized and digestible. For clients, this means less stress, fewer details to keep track of, and comfort knowing deadlines are being handled and taken seriously. Project managers also help their designers stay on track, ensuring companies receive on-time results that align with their vision. By handing the tedious details off to project managers, clients can take a breath and focus on the big picture of their business.
Annual Reports
Anyone who’s ever dipped their toes into the business world knows that annual reports are stressful and tedious, but imperative to investors’ perception of your brand’s story and successes. The question is: How can creative agencies relieve some of your stress and design an annual report that meets all your criteria? Well, between designers, project managers, and marketers, creative agencies have the perfect recipe for managing strict deadlines, brand messaging, financial data, and visual storytelling. Designers have a talent for turning boring numbers into stories, enticing investors to explore your business’s growth and potential. That means, while you continue your daily tasks and duties, your creative agency is making substantial progress on the most important piece of the year. What more could you ask for?
Are Creative Agencies Worth the Hype?
Partnering with a creative agency is absolutely worth it. It’s not about getting other people to do your work; it’s about investing in expertise that saves time and stress and produces professional results. Many people will ask, “Well, what about the cost?” The cost of juggling branding, website design, project management, and annual reports in-house likely surpasses the cost of partnering with a well-trained, creative, and experienced creative agency that can handle all your needs in one place. When you add it all up, the return on investment far exceeds the cost. So why not add a creative agency like Mentus to your team and turn endless to-dos into a brand-building ta-da?
