The Critical Path

As the final installment in our five-part series on creating effective marketing projects we’re going to focus on how a project should come together efficiently and effectively. In a perfect world you would initiate a project by accepting a written quote and submitting your creative brief, and the workflow would go something like this…

Step 1: Initial concepts are presented for your review.

Step 2: You consult with the designer to discuss the direction that should be taken from here, or possibly request an alternate concept.

Step 3: A revised or new design is submitted for your review and should be right on target based on your previous feedback.

Step 4: The chosen design is analyzed to determine how effectively it meets your defined goals. Final revisions are made, if needed.

Step 5: You proof the job for accuracy and the designer makes any required corrections, which you then approve.

Step 6: Thee job is checked for technical quality and sent to production.

Step 7: Your campaign goes public and you start raking in the customers.

Seriously, it could happen.
